Not doing well today

[Mr.Me]

Thanks for having me......

 

Feeling very alone and lonely today. I'm hurting a lot and feeling desperate and without a lot of hope for a better future. This is just sucking....That is all.

When you are down it's good that you are reaching out. Do something soothing for yourself today even if it's just to go for a walk.

I dislike being overly negative. My mind tells me one thing but my emotions tell me something different.

 

My emotions want to give up and pretty much already have while my mind tells me I'm being silly and emotions aren't real but oh do they feel so real and so strong today.

 

Is anyone else like that too?

Everyday man.

 

Times like this, I disconnect from everybody so that I can feel my own heartbeat. So that I can hear myself think and feel what I am feeling. When we're working or studying or having to oblige to the requests and expectations of everyone in our lives, we lose sight of us.

 

So..

 

I stay away. I give myself time. I try to take pleasures in the simple things like an afternoon coffee or a warm shower or a good show on Netflix. I reach out on Loveshack. I do only what I can manage and I try to remind myself.. my life, my way. I try to forgive myself for my mistakes or my weaknesses and I try to remind myself that I'm not living for anyone else but me. If you try to take on too much at once, you will easily overwhelm yourself and wind up exhausted.

 

It's okay not to be okay. That's the important part to remember. Many of us succumb to the expectations of this world and forget we're human. When we are going through trauma, we try to act like everything is fine our lives when inside we're hurting. In this process, we lie to ourselves and we deprive ourselves from feeling what we need to feel in order to get better. Be gentle with yourself.

 

Glad you reached out.

Makes very good sense and I do sometimes withdraw but for different reasons. In my case today, I'd rather have company of another human but it's elusive.
