Weary and tired of trying to feel better

Why bother when things do not get better its a waste of time, my time.

Damn, I can relate to that title! Very often I feel just that; like a curse. I don’t bother with trivial stuff much anymore, it’s futile. I try to help myself be happy; that’s what I want. Thanks DnL1972(good year - not the tire co.)

My child goes through this too. It is very sad to watch from the outside. I feel helpless when my child doesn't even want a hug because they are so sad. Trying to have a conversation is like pulling teeth...so I've stopped trying. I just tell them I hope they feel better and that I'm there for them if they want to talk or do something. I have learned that I can't fix the feelings so I try to say it's OK to feel that sadness but we should also let the sadness pass, which it will, even though it feels like it will last forever.
