Not sure it changes anything, but I read this and it describes perfectly how I feel. Sending love and strength to you amazing women X
When she goes quiet,
it’s not because she has nothing to say.
Her silence isn’t emptiness—it’s full.
Full of words too heavy to speak.
Full of emotions too raw to unravel.
Full of pain that feels impossible to put into sentences.
She’s tired.
Tired of explaining herself over and over again.
Tired of being misunderstood.
Tired of holding it all together when no one sees the cracks forming beneath her surface.
Her silence isn’t indifference—it’s exhaustion.
It’s the weight of carrying battles no one else can see.
It’s the struggle of fighting wars within herself while pretending everything is fine on the outside.
Sometimes, the deepest battles are fought in silence.
The loudest cries go unheard because they never leave her lips.
So if you notice her retreating into quiet, don’t mistake it for peace.
Ask her what she needs.
Give her space—but also let her know you’re there.
Because behind her silence lies a heart that’s breaking under the pressure of keeping it all inside.
And maybe, just maybe, she doesn’t need solutions or advice right now.
Maybe she just needs someone to sit with her in the stillness.
To acknowledge the storm without demanding an explanation.
Because her silence isn’t weakness—it’s survival.
And sometimes, the bravest thing a woman can do is stay silent when the world expects her to speak.

Wow, that resonates so much with me right now, and I can imagine it does with many of us on here. I'm so lucky to have a support system of close friends I can talk to, but today, I'm utterly exhausted. Even if they were here im not sure i could talk. The poem totally explains why. The thoughts, the broken heart, the anger, the sadness - its all too much to carry. I need to work but I feel too heavy, too tired, so I've got back in bed and might just stay there till I'm too hungry to not eat or need a wee too badly.
I completely know how you feel Poppet, some days it feels like dragging a lead weight

Glad it gave you a laugh. I find humour a good coping mechanism, no matter how crappy I feel xx
That is so appropriate Elbee
Thankfully I am in a better position now but those words are so pertinent for those dark days that a lot are still going through but the majority of us have gone through.
Sending love and strength to all having to endure this excruciating situation. Xxx
