Feeling so down

[allah1]

I fight hard everyday to keep going, working, hanging out with friends, completing daily tasks. I struggle with negative obsessive thoughts, scaring myself about the future and just putting myself down. I get lots of support and it’s hard to feel it deeply. How do you keep going when you feel a lot of pain?

I hear you. We just keep fighting and enjoy moments of peace.

You're not alone. We're so much. And i'm sorry you're there too but it gets better

Thank you. It’s just hard to believe how painful it can be.

I can relate. Everyday is a struggle for me as well. Just going to work, going out and doing activities takes a lot of energy. The great thing is you have alot of support. I have this community but not much else for support. I try to walk it off and that usually helps. Its hard to get out of bed each morning. Dont usually look forward to each day except when I go to sleep.

I feel like that too. My friend Dolphin14 a wise friend said to make the best of it when suffering. So I’m trying to do little things to make we my situation and others’ situations better as well as I can. I know it’s hard. But we will get through it.

Thank you everyone. Moment by moment. I feel sad for all of us. It will get better.

Hey There! I'm new to this group. I just want to share with you that just talking about how you feel and understanding where your feelings are coming from is a healthy step to managing your mental health. Also, don't keep how you feel inside, let those feelings out- cry, vent, pray, and most importantly, talk to someone. When I'm feeling pain, I try to to search inside myself and think about where this is coming from and what can I do to take care of myself- exercise, or find something to change my mood. I wish you well!
