My thoughts

[Simple05]

Sometimes I feel like I’m not really living my life, I’m just getting through it. Like everyday I’m just fighting myself and trying to occupy my mind. It can be terrible. And I’m not gonna lie, I feel a sense of jealousy towards people who don’t go through it.

I’m not like this all the time but when I am it’s bad. Why us? People can say it only makes us stronger, but I’d rather be weak than have to go through this.

And I know people assure us we will get through it, and that is true, but the problem is when I actually get through one thing, something else comes up that I obsess over. It’s an endless cycle. It does go away for periods of time, but can be triggered by situations like this where we have to stay isolated.

I know a lot of people have it worse than I do, but I wish none of us had to deal with this. I am managing.

I so agree with what you are saying. I spend my days consumed on how my Anxiety is going to be tomorrow at work and at home. Such a vile condition. So exhausting!

[Simple05 in reply to Hidden]

Agreed

[Hidden]

You really just explained how I was feeling! It’s so hard to put your thoughts into words sometimes. Life is definitely a struggle but we all can get through this

[Simple05 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks for the encouragement. I know that there are people going through the same struggles as me, but it is definitely helpful to actually hear it.

Thanks. Good to hear I’m not alone.

I feel the same way.

Hang in there.

Same here. Would prefer not to get stronger.

Hi, I am going to write a quote I read today, hope it helps you:- Who is the happier man/woman, s/he who has braved the storms of life and lived, or s/he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed". I recommend a great book that helped me by Dr. Scott Peck "The Road Less Traveled", amazon has it new/used, it was an eye opener for me, it was so well liked it stayed in the top 10 best sellers for 7 years. Do not sit around crying about

about your life, we all have them, I certainly have had my share, had a gun pointed in my face twice, was raped, had car stolen, and lots more things, but thanks to therapy I pulled thru, I am now 78, I do not feel fear, do not worry, I am all by myself and that is OK, I have my two beautiful cats.....I am grateful for what I have, I came to America at age 22, new no one and had a small suitcase and trunk with personal items and clothes, those got stolen and I ended up homeless. Now thru hard work and saving every penny, I have my own home bought and paid for, no mortgage for 30 years. Everything I have is bought and paid for. My nearest family is 3000 miles away. The home I have now, I had built to my floor plan so it was new 14 years ago and I love it. Oh I have been thru many battles, but I have had fun in my life, went sky diving on my 50th birthday, been up in many helicopters, a glider, a hot air balloon, had mud baths, rode down the Grand Canyon on a mule. Oh yes I have lived, and you can to, try not to be negative, things always change. Hope this is of help to you, sending love and hugs....
