Just constantly on the verge of crying, and if anything goes even slightly wrong, it feels like the This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up , and I’m sobbing for hours. The feeling of complete and total devastation, every day, over absolute nonsense. And being aware that it’s nonsense and feeling like a burden, completely unable to handle life, hating myself so much that I don’t want to exist anymore.” — This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Johner Images / Getty Images/Johner RF 14.”When they used to make light of everything, and suddenly all their conversations become serious, or they just don’t engage like they used to. That shift in energy can be a big red flag that they’re struggling internally.” — This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 15.”Headache, stomachache, loss of appetite/overeating, extreme weight loss/gain, loss of previous interests, withdrawn more than usual, or even more energy than usual. The last point can often be overlooked. You might think they’re having a great day/week…but, in reality, it’s way worse. They just have to work ******* to hide it all so people do not try to worry.
