Tough day, could use some encouragement.

As of lately, my thoughts have gotten dark again. I'm using all I have not to entertain them. It's a battle to be here. I have to put on a mask in front of my wife because she's battling for her sanity as well. I'm tired.

I listen to Stephen hilton on you tube is a film composer. 4 months ago he had dark thoughts. He has overcome them. You can find him on you tube very inspirational.

Hey! I’m sorry you’re having a tough day and that your wife is struggling as well. You’re putting on a brave face for your wife and that really matters in my book. I applaud you for that. I’m sure it means more than you know right now and I’m sure she will do the same for you when she is able. Don’t give up on her or yourself. Keep digging deep to NOT entertain those dark thoughts. They’re just thoughts; not facts. Block out the darkness … Better days are coming.❤️

You got this brother, stay strong!

That voice in your head can be used for good, that darkness can be light.

Keep reminding yourself, you're strong and it's gonna be okay. It may not be perfect but its gonna be okay.

Sometimes we are fragile, but we can become more resilient with support and time. We will always have the difficult days. For those days we have tools; meditation, reaching out to friends, music you enjoy, an interesting book, getting outside to walk in the fresh air, enjoying nature. I pray for peace in my soul and joy in my heart each morning. I pray the same for you. ❤️

Can you tell your demons "Give me a BREAK!". You and your wife are in this together, so perhaps you could make an effort to get closer (in every way). So close that there's no room for the stupid demons. 'Cos they are stupid - skipping round you all the time saying the same idiotic things over and over again - ya da ya da ya da. Whatever . . . They need to be replaced by something better and more sensible - yes?

You're not alone in this. I'm same as well. Know battling this is really brave and it gets better
