13 and feel like no one listens

Hi Big Jack! 

I hope you're well today. 

I can struggle to communicate what I need verbally sometimes so I find that writing things down helps. Whenever I need to communicate something important I usually put it in writing, like an email or a WhatsApp - it is also handy because then you can look back at it rather than sometimes forget what you said. 

Maybe try to practice writing for yourself? My therapist has me keep a diary every day where I write about my thoughts and feelings - it took a while to get used to it but you can use journaling prompts (google) to help guide you. You don't have to share these with anyone if you don't feel comfortable doing that.

Good luck :)
