Tomorrow will be rough...

My friends have all moved on. I lack support other than a few people, and even then I feel guilty because that's more than some can say. I left a toxic job thinking Im moving forward but now I'm stuck. I just want to feel "ok" again... I hope I sleep a while tomorrow...

I can relate so very much. Very alone and left a toxic job as well that thought would move me in a positive direction. That has not been the case. It’s scary and sad to waste our days with this heavy pain, feeling. One minute, one day at a time and prayer (for me).

”when you’re going through hell, keep going” that’s a phrase I repeat often….. I am hopeful you, me and all the people that feel our heaviness are released from this pain.

I retired at 59. I’m now 62. I moved to a rural area, have a decent house but no friends here after two years.

I wonder what it would feel like to not be depressed or stressed out. I was hoping retirement would do that for me.

I’ve had a few health issues - major one was an injury requiring surgery. This pretty much set me back about trying to get out and meet people.

Lately I have been using sleep as an escape from reality. I could win a gold medal for sleeping ability.

I’m not sure howBold you are. As I mentioned I am 62. I am not finding it easy to make friends. I think that’s always been a problem for me regardless of age.

Thanks for replying, it's nice to know I'm not alone in this. Sleep feels like such a nice escape most of the time. Even now it's early, but I just want to sleep...Take care

Jobs and some people can be so bad at understanding mental health, hope things start to look up for you. Take care

it’s a different struggle trying to fix things when nothing lines up. You did a brave thing to quit a toxic job which affected your health Im sure. Lack of support makes it difficult to find the strength and courage to do the work. Step by step you can do this! I was in a rut for a very long time and couldn’t figure out where to start or what to do. Prioritize yourself and look at what needs to be looked at first. Make SMART goals, maybe find therapy and mostly. Be good to yourself. You are going the best you can and YOU are worth it💕
