I can relate 100% but I just keep accepting what comes even though I know it's not okay anymore but still hold onto what little hope I have. I pray you find a bit of hope as well. Sending you hugs, love and prayer 🤗❤️🙏

We have to try and find a reason to make each day worth waking and put ourselves first sometimes. Definitely easier said than done somedays but you are worth everything this world has to offer, we all are. It's a tough road and sometimes we just need to be reminded of our worth and how loved we are and try to seek our positives each day. Thank you so much for the light, peace and happiness in return! I shall carry it with me today in taking my first step towards things. ❤️🙏

I really needed these words today, i love the way you look at things and reminds me of myself also! It can be easier said than done sometimes but its the gentle reminders that help us through the "can i do this" process. Thank you for that, it's so much appreciated, more than you know. ❤I hope the first steps towards things gets easier and with the light, peace and happiness you carry, brings encouragement :)

Hope you had a good day, and take care, Hopeful-Mama ❤

We need to have something in life other than external material things that can go away as an anchor. Ideally our faith. Because faith is having hope for something that doesn't exist yet

I feel lost myself no one to talk to about how I’m feeling no one understands. I just feel so lonely. I am dealing with stage four cancer loss of my family, I’m feeling very alone and all of this. Just don’t want to go

I'm so, so sorry for what you're going through right now. I can't begin to imagine the pain you must be carrying inside. And i hope that in posting and typing some of those feelings out, it has ease the loneliness and I'm thinking of you.

I know how you feel I feel the same way too. I feel alone with all these sad feelings and no one understands they just want me to be happy all the time. I feel like I’ve lost everything.

Being aware that you can't be happy all the time helps because in the same token, you can't be sad all the time either. Try not be fit into others expectations of "having to be happy"

I really used to dread feeling the sad things, the loneliness and would go to extreme length to block it out or distract myself in unhealthy coping mechanisms. But i'm learning that this doesn't help and from the title of this post "struggling to sit through these emotions" means its difficult to feel these emotions but by sitting with them is the healthiest thing i can do.

I just want to also remind you that i can't begin to imagine what you're going through and how heavy and difficult it is. I hope with time, a little patience and self care, you will begin to breathe wothout it hurting and that you will see/feel light and happiness in your heart once again and with that begin to heal a little.

My heart really does go out to you and if you ever need to talk, i'm here.

Stay strong Sober86 ❤
