2025 feels like the year of failure for me. Everything is piling on, realizations of having less time with the things and people I love. I feel like I’m stuck in a hole in the sand, the more I try to climb out the more sand keeps falling in.
I know there’s worse things that could happen, worse things are happening but I can’t shake this impending feeling of doom and it sucks.
I guess— how do you deal with feeling like the bad things never end? Will they ever end?
I wish I could offer some tips on how to deal with these feelings…I struggle with them myself…but I just keep telling myself that the fight will be worth it one day. Try and keep my mind set on healing. I tell myself “stop fighting yourself and start fighting for yourself”
Sometimes I can imagine how things will be once everything is settled down but it’s hard most of the time. I also tell myself that, it helps sometimes.. also being around people helps..
I found this passage in a book about grief, but I think it applies to all areas of life, I found it helpful, I hope you do too!
Please Remember That Feelings and Facts Are Not the Same Thing
You may feel that your feelings about grief and the death of your dreams are too much to bear. You may feel that you will always feel this way. You may feel sure that if you start to cry that you will never stop. You may feel that for the rest of your life this pain will be the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about before you go to bed. You may feel absolutely certain that your life cannot be happy. You may even feel like suicide is the only way to feel free from the pain. I get it. I do. But life is filled with stories of people who felt that way and no longer do. Such a person wrote this very sentence. Have the courage to feel it all. You will get through this, you will move on and through it, and you will get to the other side—you will.
I absolutely love that, thank you for sharing!!
