					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.caregiverwarrior.com/caregivers-stop-suffering-in-silence-its-dangerous/#comment-1952&quot;&gt;Louise&lt;/a&gt;.

I too wanted to stop expressing myself because people would try and fix me. I understand their need to try and make me feel better but it wasn&#039;t what I wanted or needed. For some of them, I was able to tell them that I just needed to vent and have them listen and that the best thing they could say to me was, I&#039;m so sorry, that must be tough! For others, I learned that I was going to the hardware store for oranges and they were not the people who could hear me and support me, so I no longer went to them. I sought out other caregivers who understood what I was going through and could support me without judging or trying to fix me. There is nothing like talking to another caregiver! Sharing our stories is such a healing process and we realize we are not alone. Please don&#039;t give up seeking out people who can hear you and witness your journey. You deserve to be heard and have a safe place to share your feelings. Don&#039;t give up until you find it! You are brave and amazing and not alone!]]></description>

I hear you and completely understand. I too try to express how I feel and everyone automatically tells me what I’m doing wrong and then tells me what I should be doing. It’s extremely frustrating and I stopped trying to express myself because it made it worse.]]></description>

Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing your story. It’s so inspirational and helps all of us when we hear other caregivers’ stories!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I appreciate this article. I too am a caregiver; however, my mom has partially recovered from a stroke of many years ago and still lives with me. I still have to help her out. However,  because of this I started being that listening ear to caregivers. God has given me so much wisdom in my caregiver&#039;s mission and Yes, you are right, please reach out to someone of like-mindedness. Recently in prayer the Lord placed on my heart to reach out to caregivers who are suffering in silences reminding me of my silent experience before I reached out to Him. (it was no joke. I didn&#039;t even realize how much my life was altered until then) We need to talk and I would also advise professional help if you&#039;re able. Either way, do reach out, for health sake. You have a voice and like-minded people are happy to share your experience.]]></description>

And thank you for your honesty. I understand your dilemma since there have been times in my life when I relied on my chosen family instead of my family of origin. I do applaud your connection to other caregivers on social media, and know that when you are sharing your story it not only lets lets you connect but inspires other caregivers there. I found that anywhere caregivers gathered, I felt at home. No one understands us like other caregivers. In addition, I was one of those people who didn’t know how to just listen, I always felt I had to fix someone. I finally learned that just listening is sometimes the greatest gift. I’m getting better at it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s extremely difficult to find someone who is willing to listen to you fully. I mean, really, who wants to hear about your troubles and challenges. Most people feel that they have to solve them instead of just listening and empathizing with you. I&#039;ve been a caregiver for my special needs son for well over two decades. I&#039;ve lost all of my friends and if wasn&#039;t for social media I would be sunk. Since our world revolves around caregiving, what conversation could we have that doesn&#039;t include that? So, sure, I&#039;d love to be able to talk about my struggles but there are no ears that really are willing to listen. I&#039;m just being honest here.]]></description>
