Wanting to stop feeling..

Hi I’m not sure how this works (new here)

But how do y’all get through the heavy feeling of not wanting to feel anymore? Like I want to live—I don’t want to die—but I’m soooo sick of living like this ??? Of feeling like this??? Of not escaping the constant dark cloud?? Being underwater and not knowing how to get back to the surface??

yes, I can relate 100% and sometimes the way I feel scares me also I sometimes feel as if Idk how to feel. So yes you are not alone but you will make it I know you will. Also welcome.

Hi there yes I feel the same, & I'm new on here. I'm in a constant state of anxiety in the day but feel better in the evening

If I didn’t know better, I’d swear I wrote this with a different account then forgot it was me. 😞 I feel EXACTLY the same way. Everyday is a struggle but I know I don’t want to give in to the dark cloud, I don’t want to stop living but it’s so hard. I completely understand. I don’t know how you are currently coping or what you’re doing to cope. I smoke weed and that’s what’s really helping me. I also have a puppy I rescued from a trash bin couple months ago so I’m not completely alone even though looking out for him feels overwhelming sometimes but I end up feeling grateful for the distraction he is. If you can get therapy then please do so as well. I’m going to begin soon. I was skeptical at first about that cos I’m a recluse and I don’t really like to tell people my crappy shit but I’m now realizing I have no other choice if I really want to stay alive because it’s gotten so much worse than it’s been in the last few years and I’d never tried therapy. I wish you all the best, please take care.🤍

💛 I hope therapy works out for you and helps! It really does seem helpful and like a great idea and move to bettering oneself,, for me I would totally do it but can’t afford it just yet. But yes, best of luck! What kind of breed is your puppy? And name?? 🥺

Thanks, I’m also held back because of finances as well. Therapy is expensive where i’m from. My puppy is a Doberman shepherd. A wild cat of a dog! He can be sooooooo annoying but I get that’s my fault too, I’m not spending enough time training him because I don’t even feel up to it. I’m trying though. 🤍

Good morning,How are you feeling today? I hope that you are doing better! Sometimes when I am feeling blah and like life has pulled down, I find some uplifting and encouraging music to listen to. It helps to lighten up my spirit and encourage my soul. I hope that you do not mind me posting a youtube music video that helps perk me up.
