Feeling defeated

[Feistygurl]

Today has left me feeling totally defeated. Sometimes I can't help but wonder of things will ever be okay.

Hi, I don’t know your story or what happened, but I do know you are strong and can get through the day. Tomorrow will be better than today. 💕

This is such a natural thing to wonder. Just try to be aware, as much as you can, that your viewpoint is naturally negative right now, not giving you a clear picture of whether things are improving, or will improve.

When all else fails, just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Everything will be okay. Please don’t give up

I’ve been there many times. Your not alone.

Since you posted a couple of days ago, I just wanted to ask how you are doing today?

[Feistygurl in reply to kvolm2016]

I'm okay. I'm trying really hard to think positive thoughts. Thanks for asking

[kvolm2016 in reply to Feistygurl]

The positive thoughts must be working What do you do to keep yourself focused on those or to keep away the negative ones?

[Feistygurl in reply to kvolm2016]

Honestly I try and think about my 5 year old. She needs a mom and as much as I want to give up some days she is ultimately what keeps me going.

[kvolm2016 in reply to Feistygurl]

Definitely the best motivation! And she will be learning some great life lessons from watching you: 1) that no matter how we may feel, there are things worth persevering for, 2) that we can push through the feelings to do what is needed and 3) that everyone has challenges but they don't have to define us!

I can relate to that. I am in some kind of state right now, that I don’t feel interested in anything. I don’t care about anything. I would describe it as some type of apathy. I really need some inspiration in my life.

[Feistygurl in reply to HopeWithSmile]

Its hard to find inspiration when you feel so much pain.

[HopeWithSmile in reply to Feistygurl]

I agree. I just try to float through tough times and then look for my inner light again. Darkness is all-consuming, but we need to find this light. It is inside us, it is always inside us.

exactly how i feel. i dont care about anything, everyday is a struggle.. i cant wait for night so i can take my sleeping pill and just escape. i have a child finishing school right now, so i feel responsible to be there for him, but im actually no use to him in this state. i want off this world

[HopeWithSmile in reply to Cantanymore]

I understand you. But people around us need and love us.

We need to fight for this light, it is really worth it.

I am sad reading your post but know that I am in the same boat. I used to be a very productive individual until trauma struck me at the age of 60. Had the perfect life until then. I now struggle every day to get through the day. I get up looking forward to going back to bed. How sad isn’t it? I wish you the best. Contact me if you would like.

Sending you a hug.
