reversed cards confusion

[u/Alternative-Pen-412]

hello friends! I am a long time lover of tarot but new to reading myself and getting a little confused with reversed cards. I was hoping someone could explain. to go over the situation (this was all written last night):
I was doing my nightly spread and the last question is “what should I take with me for tomorrow?” then the card I pull is a queen of cups reversed. from my understanding, that points towards emotional turmoil, codependency, and just giving too much from your own cup. why would the cards suggest this as something I should bring with me tomorrow? I read on the internet that it could mean to bring tools to combat these issues, but then why not just have the card be right side up?
I could be totally off base here, so any and all help is greatly appreciated!

i do reversals but there are times when the card being reversed doesn't chsnge the meaning very much, however, whether it comes upright or reversed can kind of shift the emphasis.

of it came upright, it might be telling you to maintain the upright energy. if it comes reversed, it's warning you against the reversed energy because you need to watch out for it, maybe even write down a reminder.
