Wish I could just be ok

[Emily4285]

I just want to be one of those people that get up in the morning and are happy to be awake and happy for the day ahead. Most times I just feel dread and wish I could sleep the day away. I just want to be ok and or happy and be able to enjoy things.

I have those days. I do a lot of positive self talk. Trying my best to smile when it hurts. I do believe that day will come on what you describe in your post for me and you 💜. You can do this and make it through your bad days

I know where you are coming from. I hate to get up in the mornings because sleep is the only time I'm not worrying about something or depressed. It does get a little better once I get woke up some, but it's always in the background. I hope you feel better soon.

I totally understand this....most of my life growing up was dread when I woke up, I knew the day was going to be filled with unknowns, and yucky stuff. I never knew what to expect as I was always going to a new school, or living in a different place, dealing with un-caring strangers. This affected me as an adult, and because of the fear of the unknown, it loomed over me every day as I dread getting out of bed. Later on with professional help I learned that this was understandable, and there were underlying reasons like depression and childhood neglect and abuse....but it still happens from time to time...as depression never goes away. I think we are always going to have good days and bad days Emily....we just have to figure out a way....the best we can.

I know how you feel. I sleep a lot for that reason. Look for things that you can feel greatful or positive about and focus on that. Hang in there.
