Day by day

Last week I was in a very dark place. I didn’t think that I would make it through that week but I did and I actually managed to have a good day or 2 thanks to this group and my mom. It sucks when you’re in that hole and all you can see is darkness and no positivity but just keep fighting and take it day by day. I’m not out of the woods yet but I haven’t given up. I hope everyone has a great Monday and a great week!

I felt exactly the same as you last week. I felt really down and the week dragged on. I thought I couldn't get through the week but I did and started to feel a little better. I just felt like I couldn't go to work and didn't want to do anything. I also found talking to my mum helped and I let it all out by crying . I carry on hoping for better days even when the worst of days seem like it will never get better. I hope you have a better week this week too

Crying helps a lot. I’m glad that you also have your mom to talk to. Having someone to talk to is a great help. It helps me to not feel as lonely. Sometimes we carry a lot but I like to think that it just makes us stronger.

Thank you. You too!

Wow, you couldn't have phrased it any better. It's a battle, that's for sure. Some days are so much easier than others. So what a pain when it goes South! But I am SO glad you're able to find solace here; it's nice to have a wonderful batch of people who can lift you up in ways others may not. I'm really happy to hear you're feeling better currently, just keep pushing and fighting! You got this!

Thank you for your encouragement! This battle is much easier when you know you aren’t fighting it alone.

Absolutely, it really makes a difference. I appreciate what others have to say because often times it's exactly how I am feeling. Saves everyone the trouble of writing it out sometimes!
