Nothing Changes

Nothing Changes

Hey all..

Not to be a downer but..

You can get all the help & support in the world yet nothing in your life actually changes.

Life is still hard.

You still have no family, partner or ppl to be there when you're lonely.. as in person and intimately like they know who you are in person, have shared your life or want to share your life and care from that basis.

46 years been trying at this life thing and I still feel I want to escape.

Nothing feels good.

Nothing feels like there's a promising future.

Not suicidal just saying.. maybe sometimes in life.. nothing changes for some ppl?

Life will always be hard and nothing ever works out.

What should we do?

Re: Nothing Changes

@RoseBlue Even survival experts for MOSAC (mothers of sexually abused children) advise to "view crisis as a challenge, not a horrible situation that you cannot endure."

There are victims of genocide who lose entire families and still manage to find refuge somewhere and become good, productive citizens of society.

It's bedtime here, good night!

Re: Nothing Changes

I guess it's definitely one of Life's biggest challenges.. to see the light where there seema only dark..

The silver lining amongst the storm clouds & then also how to make Lemonade out of Lemons..

I know I need to try and do all of this and also not focus on the past too much.. life is not a rehersal and we only ever keep on keeping on.. learning from our experiences and trying to enjoy it when we can..

Re: Nothing Changes

@tyme ty for your response and yes I am also learning to have low or no expectations.. of life & others.

Not to be negative or pessimistic but just living in the moment and taking care of myself without depending on others for anything but still seeing the value in ppl & connections 💓
