Something’s not right

I'm trying to stay positive but...

I'm trying to stay positive but...

I feel this immense pain in my heart and trauma in my body that sucks me down to oblivion very quickly.

I have people who care but...

the stress is too great for them,

or they don't get it,

they just feel helpless to change anything,

or they just have their own crap to deal with.

I don't want to be around people when I feel this bad but I'm desperate for connection for someone to really get it at the same time. It doesn't matter how many people care, In essence, I face this journey alone.

I know I have to do my own mothering and comforting for myself but it's exhausting.

I don't want to adult.

I don't want to keep getting up each day and find something to keep myself going.

I don't want to have to manage my emotions all the time.

I don't want to keep fighting to live and be myself.

Someone called me brave the other day. That seems like B.S. to me I'm just doing what I have to do when there are no other options.

Life sucks and I'm angry with it tonight.

Re: I'm trying to stay positive but...

You sound very honest @Gillie1 - that is always a good start.

And that was yesterday and today was a little better - fingers crossed for tomorrow.

The weather is getting cooler - sometimes people - I am one of them - get Seasonal Affective Disorder - SAD - some winters are worse than others - it's not easy to get out of bed in the morning - I will stay there and read for a while but yes - it's better to get up and move around.

It's not always easy though - so I hope things improve and I do wish you the best.

Re: I'm trying to stay positive but...

I think I have the opposite of SAD though I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist maybe DSM 6 should add it. Heat and humidity bring me down and bright summer light is too much for me sometimes. Take care and yes we all need to listen to what our body needs day to day.

Thank you for your support on here.
