sadness

[ansh12]

I feel I’m sinking. I feel I’m in a boat which has a little hole and water is filling in. I’m waving my hand asking for help from nearby boats but nobody is helping out. I don’t even know if they are noticing or not. I feel drained. Nothing interests me - my hobbies, work, friends. Nobody. I don’t know what I seek. I don’t know what I want. I don’t even know how to explain. I’m short of words. I miss people but I don’t know who exactly. I haven’t had a drink since weeks. I don’t consume any kind of drugs. I’m just sad. All I want to do is curled up in bed with nobody to disturb me. A part of me misses people from my past. The friends I have are not willing to listen or maybe I’m not willing to reach out. I don’t know how to get rid of this.

The 1st thing you do is to put a finger in the hole. When you get tired, even with a hole in the bottom of your boat, if you'll flip it over and climb on top, it won't sink.

Peace and love from the U.S. Ansh! I second TrustYourSoul. When you don't know what to do, do what you can.

Hey ash12. Firstly abit of understanding goes a long way and I completely understand this feeling as I've been in and out of this miserable slump myself for many years. And one thing that does help is gratitude. You said work hobbies etc well try to be thankful you have a job and a quality of life to which you can take part in hobbies many can't. I know it is t a great help right now but try to make a list of the things you are grateful for. It really does make me look at things differently. Perhaps try reaching out to one person I know it's hard believe me I do. Or how about new Interests, cooking , travel, doing something nice for someone else however small. If you don't try you've simply given up and you must never give up. Life becomes mundane and boring at times the whole work sleep repeat cycle with little to do for entertainment it's down to us to make changes. I wasted years wondering when or if things would change and they don't just get better in my experience. You have to make changes and change your mindset. Anyway I don't know you but best of luck and remember your never alone alot of us totally understand these feelings and have been or are were you are.

Hi ansh12

You probably have made the most complicated step, getting conscious that something is not going right. Really, this is not easy because we, human, tend to always try to feel well, whether if this makes us self liars.

Try to fill the smallest holes in your boat. Once they will have been, go bigger, then bigger again. I know sometimes things look like they are solution-less. But let's be honest, only a few things in life are solution-less. If you write down on a sheet of paper, with a pen, what this or that problem is and what is the solution, the path or the decision to take them down, you may be suprised how much our brain us great at giving ideas.

And, do not forget a thing. As an anonymous community, we do not know each other. And we have neither judgement nor opinion. We all are here for more or less the same reasons and we help each other, in good and in bad days.

Use this community !

Much love from France
