lately I have not been feeling happy, I thought I would come around , but with each passing day I feel I am not getting better , but it is changing! Like even when I am doing things I like, my happiness from this just isn’t the same.
Just recently I feel like I have the words to express it. Diluted joy, diluted happiness!
Anyone related?
with every inch of my being😔
Thanks for sharing. I wish I could break free of this, but doesn’t seem likely at the moment. Feel free to share more. I will listen!
I’m off to bed, but will possibly share more tomorrow. It was a rough day!
That is a very clever way to express certain feelings. I also have a sense of "diluted enjoyment" but never thought of such a clear way of describing this feeling.
thanks. It just came to me snd thought it made sense.
That is exactly how I feel. You have described it so well. Even on great days I cannot feel joy
I wish we could figure out how to breakthrough on this
Amen!
Hi CanYouHearMe. Welcome to the chat! It is good you are letting your words out here to express your feelings as so much of what goes on inside happens for lack of having someone to turn to, someone who can hear you, as your name implies. I hope this space, and the people here, plays that role for you, we are all listening!
Hang in there!
Yes. Exactly right. Pick the name cause I do feel like no one is listening. I share I am not and kind feels glossed over. Everyone I sm close had other things going on don’t respond, or not capable of listening for understanding.
I too feel that people are not capable of listening or understanding if they have never experienced this themselves. I don’t want to blame them, they are probably just uncomfortable and don’t know what to say??
Could be , but these people have always supportive and listened very well. So now that I can’t seem to share and get a discussion is hurtful. One like to respond with things that relates to them and off topic of what I just said. It just makes me feel so alone fearful for the future. It is a lonely place with no one to show you compassion and support.
I feel like people just roll their eyes and think here we go again when I try to express what I’m feeling. And they do always seem to change the subject
The worst of it is, I have spent the last 1.5 years listening to one person shared their distressing feelings on the same topic every time we hang out. And now that I need some back it is impossible. This hurts the worst.
I have this same issue with my daughter. But I’m her mom so I try to be here as much as I can and listen. When she has an issue she’s allowed to talk about it endlessly, but when I try to talk about mine she wants nothing to do with it. I’m overreacting, get over it, you’re just milking it, I’m lazy. These are the things she tells me and it hurts.shes one of the people I’ve mentioned before that just doesn’t want to hear it anymore. But God forbid if I’m not there for her. Is sad really.
Ugh. I am sorry to hear that. That is a tough one as you love more than anything and yet the hurt is so much. His old is your daughter? Feel free to private message me if want . I will listen.
She is 31
Hopefully she will figure out soon you are human too and sometimes needs support. It is hard to see that in our parents. I struggle with seeing my mom needing emotional and physical help as she ages. It is because growing up I never saw her struggle with anything, but I know she did. So it can be tough to see and admit our parents are human just like us
Well put. Thank you
Haha! Good point CanYouHearMe!
This is what this Forum is all about. We want to hear from you and be as present as we can to help and at least let you know we are here for you!
Thank you!
I hear you, I’m going through deleted happiness also.
Def not alone! Hopefully both of us can find it again!
I said deleted happiness ha well I guess that also makes sense ha!
I knew what you meant! 🥰 But yes deleted happiness makes sense too!
I believe we will. Let’s put the positivity into the universe and/or God and expect great things to come.
I know exactly what you are feeling. I cannot figure out why when I’m doing things I normally enjoy there is a sense of diluted joy, that is a perfect description. I can’t remember a day I felt true happiness. I almost feel like there is a black cloud over me and I live a dulled existence. Even when I’m in the middle of an otherwise enjoyable event I’m wondering what is wrong with me that I’m truly not experiencing the happiness that should come with this. It’s a lonely feeling.
Yes exactly! More very good descriptive words for these feelings! I am right here with you. And I appreciate you sharing. Helps to fight this battle not alone in the cruel world! It is lonely! Sending you love!
Peace is Bliss! ❤️☀️☮️☯️🌸🌈🧘🏻♀️🕉🙏
