Invalidated Stories

Talks about how I feel invalidated by my mom

A collection of poetry that touches on depression, grief, anxiety, isolation, chronic pain, hope, determination, gratitude, and the fight for loving life.

Shattered by her family's cruelty, a young doctor seeks solace in the quiet chambers of her mind. Can she find redemption amidst the wreckage of her life?

This piece was written for people to express the feeling of being emotionally unheard by the people I care about the most. Sometimes, all we want is for someone to listen, understand, or simply acknowledge our efforts, yet we still end up feeling invisible. "Invalidated" is a reflection on loneliness, disappointment, and the quiet pain of constantly being there for others while rarely feeling the same in return. It's for the people who overthink small reactions, crave genuine support, and know how much even a simple "I'm proud of you" can mean.
