I just wanted to take a moment and find out how everyone is doing?

I know things have been rough for about 85% of the people on here, and I just wanted to check to see how everyone was?

I’m still battling! What else is new, right? But I didn’t want to make this post about me. I’ve been so blessed with so much support on this group “I’m so thankful”

That I have some amazing people I can talk too!

So how is everyone?

What made you smile today?

What made you laugh today?

What made you cry today?

I had a small chuckle at some old Craig Ferguson videos on youtube. But it's mostly been a struggle for me the past couple of days. I haven't been able to stop thinking about my abusive ex and it's just getting to me lately.

I’m glad you had laughter even if it was a little one! I’m so sorry that your going through that! It’s crazy how sometimes our thoughts go to places we don’t wanna be! You should definitely watch more YouTube videos! ❤️

I am trying to relax a bit though admittedly failing. I was planning on making a cup of tea and seeing if that works. I also have yet to sleep so that is fun too. Thoughts are rude at times.

Trust me I know! All we can do is breath through them and remember it will pass! Have some tea!

This is true. I am only three months out from the relationship so that is why it's still so fresh. I am making the tea now. It smells nice.

Love Craig Ferguson! Miss him on the late late show

I do too. It was honestly the best late night talk show out there. Not strictly political just funny. Plus Craig and Geoff were the best duo in late night.

I hope you can smile and laugh today! ❤️

Thank you for your concerns, how nice. Well I hardly cry and I hate crying because after crying I become worse. Once I accept pain, it becomes worse. So to brighten up my day, I simply open my HU and find my notifications and I know I have amazing friends who will brighten up my day and make me laugh so bad. Then I come here in the public and greet new comers then help those who are in need. Lastly I make sure I laugh with those who are laughing here in this community. It's an amazing community which knows how to posts funny posts sometimes and brighten up my day. Let me turn this question back to you, what made u laugh, smile and cry today?

That’s so good to hear! I catch myself watching funny clips on YouTube or my dog alone makes me laugh all the time! He is such a blessing for my family and I.

I haven’t cried, which is definitely nice! My smile is reading people comments and going through these forums, some make me sad knowing people are still battling issues.

It nice to know we have found things that make us happy. Slowly but surely we will get there.

100% agree! I’m just thankful we have eachother during the hard times and also the happy times

in reply to uniquediamond

You can say that again. You know to be honest with u, I have tried other depression sites as well like SG and seven cups, they are wonderful and all but I have never fel at home with them. But here particularly this community has the power to make one feel supported, loved and respected. I love it very much I hope it does not change because we really need one another since the world will not give us the support we truly need. Some try but can never really truly appreciate the problems associated with depression and enxiety.

Thank you, diamond. Let’s see, I smiled picking up some Chinese takeout; I laughed when my pupper got her extra long leash wrapped over her face, and still ran jubilantly over the hill of ice and snow to get her treat; and while I haven’t cried, I have been feeling sad and angry about money. I’m one of the gig workers who’s had to collect unemployment, and Ive been fighting with the state DOL for 4.5 MONTHS trying to get them to pay me the right amount. I thought it was finally resolved last week, but they still haven’t sent me the official letter, so I remain on edge, coming up on four months behind in rent and without health insurance. 😣 Deep breaths ...

Oh my gosh!! I’m so sorry to hear that!

Just reading about your puppy 😂 that made me laugh! I do hope that the money part works out soon for you! I know with COVID it made things a lot harder for people! I’m sorry you were one of those that were effected
