So much has changed....is changing.
New year...new you.
Etc.
But no. So much the same. I'm here. I'm hurting. We are tired. I don't see the point to it all...to life...to push through.
I don't know. New day. New years day. It all feels worthless, tiring, for what.
Where do we go from here.
Idfk.

@The-red-centaur i feel you and I'm here if you want or need to chat.
It's really just feels like another day and another year of the same crap. I do hope things can change for you even if it's just something small that makes some days brighter for you.

Hey @Former-Member @tyme @Shaz51 @Snowie
Thank you for replying. I'm sorry things are tough for you too.
So many people have hope for a new year. But it also fills me with dread.
One day at a time. Day by day. It passes, or at least the time does and we are still here.
I was talking to a support worker about some things today. One thing we were talking about was, how things won't change or go away, but they can become manageable or we learn ways of coping with it, and that is how things improve, or how we function again.

@The-red-centaur I hope you are doing ok. I didn't want to be here to see the new year, but yet here i am.
Yes the days go by but passing the time is so very hard. Living minute by minute is completely exhausting.
That's very true, things don't always change or go away but yes we can sometimes learn how to cope with them. But in saying that, some things we shouldn't have to learn to cope with.

@Former-Member yeh i agree.
Sometimes I feel like things shouldn't be this hard.
It is exhausting. Very much so. I have a lot of physical health problems and a long history of mental health issues. I am so tired.

@The-red-centaur i feel you. I've also got health problems and have suffered from mental health issues since I was a young child. I'm in hospital at the moment after an attempt in the vet early hours of new years day. Whilst I know i might be in the best place right now it's also the worst place possible aswell. I'm always up for a chat if you ever need it, happy to be an ear to listen. Take care of yourself and just take things minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day.
