It’s also to blame for sometimes being sure the friends I have only pretend to be my friends.

Unfortunately, sometimes it goes deeper than irritability and lack of confidence, this is when my most intense and anxious thoughts are constant. It is when I imagine my life without the people I love or I ask the horrific question: would I be missed if I was gone?

[DearDamsels knows that] it’s all too common for women to feel like their voices aren’t worth anything, so we always want to offer opportunities for women to have their voices heard and their stories told — it’s why we describe DD as your words, your stories, your collective
