your feelings are real even if:
- they’re caused by hormones/puberty
- they’re side effects of medication
- they change quickly
- you don’t understand why you feel them
- they’re different from how you felt in the past
- it seems silly/overdramatic for you to feel that way
all feelings are real feelings. you’re the one experiencing them and no-one can tell you any different. don’t let anyone dismiss them; especially not yourself.
