I haven't been on here in a long time, I've been a bad place and still am today...so if you have any positive energy, good vibes, thoughts you could send them my way. I need all I can get.

You are all just awesome people! And if you're struggling I'm right there with you and if you're in a good place stay there and enjoy! ❤

I'm sorry that you're struggling. I've recently started meditating, and it's been very helpful for me. I downloaded the app Insight Timer. There are thousands of free meditations. There is a paid option, but I didn't do it. It lets you do all the courses. There is one free course that you could try about learning how to meditate. I hope you feel better!

Hang in there. Think about a time when you will feel ok again. Focus on that instead of how you feel right now. Best wishes to you for some inner peace soon.

I hear you Robinrenae. Keep fighting and I will do the same. It's been a long time since I've seen the bright side of life. I keep forgetting to be grateful for all that I do have. And grateful for the help I do receive from others like my friends and family who have been my support. And this forum ... without it I think I would have given up already. Hugs and prayers to you.

Peace and love to you. (((Hugs))))

I can still remember being where you are for 3 years straight. And it's not an easy place to be. Literally taking it day by day, and finding at least 3 things that made my day better. Sometimes it was as simple as not being cut off in traffic, or just having someone smile at you when you feel invisible. It took a long time for me to get out of the depths you're talking about. After 2 inpatient hospitalizations and one overdose during that time frame, I have slowly started becoming more like myself. I know that might not be inspiring because it definitely took a long time, but the point I was trying to make was, it eventually does get better. And the longer it took for me, the more I learned to appreciate and enjoy the good days, and eventually the good days started outweighing the bad. So I hope you get there soon, and find a little bit of joy in your days! God bless!

Sweet Robin, I'm so glad you're back! I hope communicating with us will bring a calming presence. We're in this together. I find helping others to be very cathartic and gets my mind off my own mental health issues for awhile. Good karma coming your way my friend!

Thank you Robinrenae! I hope you have a wonderful day today as well!! Sending hugs and good thoughts!!

I am struggling too. I just have to realize I can't make everyone else happy. I can do me and take care of my child. Other than that I can't help you if you are in a lousy mood taking it out on me. I know who I am and will still carry on and be positive. Have a good night.

Love you too kiddo....it's a tough haul.... some days harder than others....I wish you had help with what you go through every day. We are going through a lot here right now and it's a struggle, but nothing compared to yours. I do believe everyone’s struggles deserve to be validated and not compared....but in reality....you got it tough my friend and I've only got to deal with adult children not wanting to grow the F up. It's a big difference, I can just shut my door, and you don't have that luxury.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for checkong in on me. That means a lot to me. ❤ I'm doing some better today. Took a long walk, it helped with my anxiety a bit.

Michael8072 in reply to Robinrenae

I’m glad to hear that! I’m glad the walk helped with your anxiety! How was the walk did you see anything wild?

I’m doing well today thanks. Had my morning coffee and was just looking out my window at this windy beautiful day!!

Work had its moments this weekend. Was intense and busy. Have the day off today and in just relax mode. Thanks for asking.

What are you up to today?

Robinrenae profile image
Robinrenae

I live in town so I was walking there. So, I didn't see anything wild, except a couple of squirrels. :) They were cuties!

Hope you enjoyed your day off. Sounds like you needed it after the weekend you had.

I guess you're back to the grind stone today, huh? Have a good one! 😊

Hiya, I feel your pain and know we are all here for you.

Happy Chinese New Year to you.

I definitely know that feeling of trying to feel positive, but can't find it.

Today the sun is shining and feeling the warmth of expecting Spring (here in Wet West of Uk) I'm feeling hopeful.

I'm send positive energy your way in hope you have a better day and you find something that works for you.

Love and hugs
