Something’s not right

Piecing the shattered glass together

Piecing the shattered glass together

I decided to start a new thread, my new chapter in my life is going to focus on healing my traumas, building resilience and self-worth and taking the steps of achieving mood stability. I am praying this year will be better than the last. Last year the SI got really intense, was so close to losing hope and I felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces like shattered glass. It all still feels overwhelming, I have a long way to go on my healing journey, but I think I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful about the future.

I am doing better than I was before. Still have a lingering feeling of depression. Don't why it just doesn't lift and leave me alone. I miss when I felt stable years ago

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

It's good to read that you are doing a bit better @creative_writer. I have depression on and off over the years so I can understand somewhat how you are feeling. I really hope it lifts for your soon.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@FloatingFeather, I want to have peace, but just don’t know how to get there and I want stability to be longer lasting. I don’t expect life to be perfect, but I don’t want to be depressed almost all the time

Hi @Shaz51,

Been okay thanks - bit long and drawn out tbh. How's all with you and Mr Shaz today? I hope you are both feeling a bit better 🙂

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

I hear you @creative_writer and I can understand where you are coming from. Depression to me feels like living under a dark cloud that follows you around - I really hope that cloud lifts for you very soon and you have clear skies from then on.
