Hello Free Spirit! Please don't think you are alone in not being heard. Not being heard and feeling left out as at its strongest when depressed. I am depressed as well and these thoughts have invaded my mind and will not leave.

When I first started therapy, I did not know how to express myself at all. Eventually, I became quite good at expressing myself with words. This suprised me immensely. I had a new talent! Unfortunately, I can't make a living doing it, although I wish I could. What I do now isn't fulfulling at all and it has become a source of chronic stress in my life. I feel powerless in this situation and I know it is feeding my depression.

Please understand that writing it down and expressing how you feel is a good thing even if you don't get what you want.

Hmm... I think this is advice that I need to take! It's always easier said than done. You are not alone.
