My manager told me “everyone is struggling” when I reached out to her because I am struggling with my workload.

I am not the sort who will reach out for help easily but I cannot even keep up with my own work and mailbox. Part of the work I am doing is for an account she took over but is not stepping up… I tried reaching out recently as well. I cannot help but feel disappointed because we are always encouraged to speak up if we are overwhelmed but I guess talk is cheap. 🥲
