I am in pain

I am hurting beyond words, I can find no meaning to life , no love to pull me through. I am sensitive to every action I take, and every word I say to myself and to others. I hope and pray that life will get better.

Sending all the hugs I can. I feel you- the oversensitivity and the despair. Amen- life must get better.

I am feeling not so good myself Lighthaven. One thing I am learning, which I am very guilty of, is sitting around feeling very badly and not doing anything to change it. I belong to a group where people have found a good therapist and/or have made a plan for getting better and are actively working that plan. They use the term recovery. I’d never even really considered recovery because I just figured this was how it was for me. So if you are feeling stuck you aren't. Change requires effort which I know is hard when you feel terrible. I think that is where a good therapist comes in. At any rate, don’t dispair. Improvement is available.

45 -60 minutes of daily cardio exercise to produce endorphins that battle your anxiety and depression. That’s my go to for 50 years. Be around people. Family or a dear friend. Lose yourself in a good book or movie. Maybe you have a pet?

Lighthaven- you may feel so alone- but you aren’t. There are so many of us like you. Breathe- get up, no matter how bad you feel- and go for a walk. I will be praying for you.

There are platforms like this one...there are agencies that will take calls for folks in distress.....There are prayer groups that will support you if wish this avenue...Anxiety Clinics at many universities are available..Richard Rohr is a fine , hopeful author for me....I sincerely hope you Will have better days ahead!
