I'm tired of waiting to get better

I know that day will never come so why do I keep fighting through another day. I don't have a purpose here only being used and unappreciated. So why am I still here?

You know.... we cannot control our situation sometimes, only how we choose to live with it. I'm in an impossible situation right now in my home...but I'll be damned if I'm gonna give up because of what other people do or don't do in my case. I feel very down and depressed with it sometimes, but have to just talk it out...work through it the best I can...no.... the problem is not solved by doing that...but at least it's helped me to get it out.... and that's what you need to do. Accept what you can change and find a way to deal with what you can't...you don't have to like it, but it's better than the alternative. Don't let yourself be used....and unappreciated. Don't do things for people who take it for granted...that's the first choice you can make for yourself.

I am so sorry the struggle is so real. I understand completely. But I do feel you have a purpose, we all are here for a reason. Sometimes it is a matter of discovering that reason and jumping in full speed ahead. Rediscover your passions and your gifts for a starting point! Seek to bless others with your gifts or passions, healing often comes from doing.

I understand the feeling of being used and feeling like when I am in the depths nobody is there to give me a hand out. I have put myself into strangers and don't expect anything in return and it has brought great fruit in my life.

When we are in the fight it is like beating our head against a brick wall trying to break free but when what we are doing is not working, it is time to try something new. I have had great success and setbacks and the successful moments always push me closer to full healing. I pray that you find your purpose, it is there, I know it!

I pray that you find help when you need it and a knowing that you are loved, what has helped me with that is not focusing on the lies that I am unloved, unappreciated, unwanted, and focusing on the truths that I am loved, wanted, appreciated, thankful and blessed. This helps get the mind on life and living rather than despair. It works for me!!!

Best Wishes!

your account name says you are dark and lovely, and I believe you are lovely!

one day I was told that in every mess we go through, there lies a message. And ever since, i take it day by day, focusing more on my strengths which undermines my weaknesses until they become irrelevant. Each week I ask my son to focus on one challenge, so we can focus and work on. It has worked for the both of us. Hope, courage, faith! i know its in you :)
