My long dark absence

[Mrspjsmom]

The last several months have been incredibly difficult for me. It seems as if every day brings a new hurt, a new ache or a new catastrophe to deal with. I have shut myself off from the world. Don't go out except for therapy appointments, don't speak to anyone and have to put a checkmark on my calendar when I take a shower. If I don't a week can go by. I have been more anxious and depressed than I ever have before. But I have to keep going and pick myself up. This is my first step. I haven't posted because I feel like I have nothing to offer this wonderful community. You help me more than you know and I will try to do the same. HUGS and BLESSINGS!

Thanks for posting! I feel the same way. I really want and need to connect with others too. Have a good one! Thanks. You are welcome to message me too if you ever want to.

Thanks. I don't know why I isolate myself during hard times. Probably the worst thing I could do.

[Hidden in reply to Mrspjsmom]

It's hard. I understand.

Good morning MrsP. Great to see you.

Its always okay to not be okay especially here. Sometimes isolation is part of our process but don’t let that be a primary coping mechanism.

We’ve missed you here. 🤗 Wishing you a great day. 🌺💜

Hi. I’m pretty new here; your post DOES contribute to this awesome community. Your raw honesty is brave and beautiful and exactly what many of us need to hear to feel connected to people again. Thank you 😊

Hi! Glad u r here my friend! Sorry things have been rough but no natter what you are important so take care of yourself the best you can and don’t worry if you are doing less than you wish it will come to you in the right time. ❤️

You don't have to offer us anything. If all you do is share your pain with us , that is something. I'm sorry you're hurting. This is such a tough time for all of us. We are pretty much locked down for the second time around and it's pretty darn boring. I've been sick all week with awful chest pains and got tested for corona because of it. It turns out it's just the stress of everything! It's really a tough time and take comfort in knowing that you're not alone.

So good to see you The beauty of the group is sometimes we need the lift and sometimes we help lift.

The ups and downs of depression are so draining. Picking ourselves up is key. I had an incident a couple weeks ago. Knocked me right out of the game. I knew I had to push myself to get through it. I'm fortunate to have a great group of friends I can count on to help me move out of that place.

You have many friends here. Don't ever hesitate to reach out for help.

❤️

you always have something to offer even if its not in words but if your needing to reach out then we should be offering you in your time of need.
