Hanging by a thread.

It's been a while, people. Life's getting harder by the second. I'm fading real quick and it's scary. Hold on, yeah? I'm doing just that but the thread is stretched real bad. I pray it doesn't snap before I get help. I really pray.

That’s not a good feeling but, I have been there. I feel like that now, actually. I hold to the fact that change is constant. I could wake up tomorrow and feel a little better. Maybe that little thread is stronger than you thought.

My thread broke once. You can only take so much. It's like pulling a rubber band at both ends and it finally breaks.

I hope you don't have to reach the breaking point. Being aware you are hanging by a thread is great awareness to change something before it breaks.

Mine broke without me realizing what was happening. In hind sight I can see it all so clearly. Don't wait for hindsight, that's my advice.

I know you are strong. And this thread is made of steel. There’s is so much much beauty and positivity inside us, we need to let it out. Depression/anxiety are constantly trying to lock them up in a trunk, we shouldn’t let them.

Hang in there, my best PA!!!!

Some days when it actually seems I cannot control myself the intense mood swings and stress I wonder how we awesome people go on and on and it’s because we care. Even when we get feeling numb or majorly depressed there is it a whisper or a scream it is always there, a guide.

I recently got back from a crisis center and it helped me. I hope you get all help you need. 🤗

How r u today? It really gets at me how one day things seem fine and then they are seemingly crumbling right in front of you. Scared right now. How are you holding up? Hope you are having an easier time.

Hello dear, just as you identify yourself as an AnIslandOfPeace, I pray that the peace of God will overshadow your life and bring peace beyond your understanding. I can understand what you are going through. Don’t give up hope. If you have survived up till now, then you have got what it takes to overcome this. You are a survivor. It’s possible to get help to keep it under control the feeling. I will be more than happy to link you up with a counseling consultation if you need one. For the mean time try and focus things that motivate and relaxes you. Sending hugs and prayers your way.
