Do You Agree?

Do you agree that life gets even more *** up when to whomever you want to vent to turns out to be more *** up than you and is not ready to listen at all and therapy is expensive? Lol

It can be frustrating. I'd have to say though that for me I'd find comfort in being supportive to the person who is also struggling, even if I felt like they might not feel ready to listen - I'd be there to offer support. I suspect there are others that would be happy to let you vent.

I used to vent to my friend but after a while I realised that it started to feel like top trumps.

Sometimes you just have to accept others are genuinely going through just as much bad stuff, moan to each other, let off some steam and move on knowing you both helped one another.

. . . . so the two of you engage in an ever-descending spiral - bad news.
