Depression

I struggle to survive with the hope of one day feeling better. Is it worth it?

[Shnookie]

It is definitely worth the struggle to survive and feel better. Life is precious and U deserve to live a happier life. I’m here 4 U.

Hugs 🤗 M 😎💪🙏

It is worth it. I've felt this way too but what has kept me going is staying determined and remembering that pain in all forms is temporary. Without darkness there would be no light. It will be ok. Just take deep breaths and take life one step at a time. Remind yourself of what makes you happy. A big tip is to buy a journal and get out how you feel on paper, It's not always easy to speak about your feelings. You got this stay strong <3

I feel like you. They tell me its worth it but I dont see it. I live day to day and wonder if the new day will be better. There's a hope, I think, inside of me that keeps me pushing on. I just noticed you are 68 but I'm 72. No family left and on my own

[TightRopeAtl in reply to sewing11]

Ugh! No family. No friends. Just People I know. It seems I woke up this morning and just accepted The Truth. Discovered I lost a long lost friend who had suffered with ALS for the past ten years. I viewed pics of him through its progression... deeply saddening. I told myself to try and think if I must on the here and now rather than my past and the dismal.

It occurred to me as I lie underneath the sky, the birds chirp, my dog underneath the hammock reading "365 Science of Mind Daily Mediations" I could send each Daily meditation to you via email for our mutual Daily Affirmational considerations. Two or more coming together through conciousness is powerful...

Hi. I feel exactly the way you do. I have a wife and 11 year old son and I still wonder that everyday. The best I can say is I hope so. I'm suicidal too, but I'm still here fighting. I journal constantly. Do you have a treatment team, a therapist and psychiatrist? You've already taken the first step by reaching out.

No paid Proffessional Emotional Prostitutes for me. On my hammock, the sky is blue, the birds chirp. My dog under the hammock. Checked in here. It seems it may help. I have my daily meditation book "The Language of Letting Go " and "365 The Science of Mind Daily Wisdom."

Yes it does get better even though it doesn't feel like it. Sometimes I'll wake up on a bad mood. I'll do things like take a shower and get on with my day. And by night I'm in a much better place. Sending 🤗 hugs your way. ❤❤❤❤
