A lot of times I think everything around me is my fault. It’s sort of a trigger if I think it’s my fault and I just shit down completely. When I tell people this they don’t believe me. I don’t like how I feel, I cry a lot and nobody likes to talk to me about anything. I always feel alone, a lot of people say I’m very happy and positive but I don’t feel that on the inside nomatter how much I am smiling on the outside. I’m empty.

It takes a lot of courage to open up about feeling empty, especially when you feel forced to put on a brave or happy face for the outside world. Feeling like everything is your fault is a very heavy cognitive distortion, but please know that carrying this pain alone is not something you have to do.A few gentle support strategies to consider:
Challenging Self-Blame: When thoughts of "it's all my fault" arise, gently pause and ask yourself if you are taking responsibility for things outside your control.
Expressive Journaling: Writing down feelings of emptiness or sadness can give those emotions a safe exit point without the pressure of putting on a smile.
DBT Self-Validation: Acknowledge that your internal pain is real and valid, even if others only see the cheerful mask on the outside.
Professional Support: Consider speaking with a compassionate therapist who can provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process these feelings.
Please be gentle with yourself today your feelings are completely valid, and you are not alone in this community!
