Something’s not right

Feeling real low and hopeless

Feeling real low and hopeless

Life is really kicking my ass right now, and I feel like I keep making descions that dont align with me. But I also dont really have a sense of who I am and where Im going.

I just left a 4 year relationship. Its been tearing me up inside. I havent had much support. No close friends. Ive tried to utilise supports offered, but most of the time people dont respond back to me, or they dish out all the unhelpful advice.

I started a new job, and I dont know if Ive made a big mistake but I feel in the thick of it now. Its a physical job that leaves me pretty tired. Im not very fit but Im working on my fitness levels as that needed to change regardless. The job will also only be maximum 3 days a week. Ive never worked full time and Im already exhausted. Is this normal?

I keep thinking about the natural world. How much I love it. What sort of life could I build that incorporates it. I do want to work (and well let's be real, most of us have no choice to come capacity) but I want it to be meaningful.

My days have been spent just lost in my comfort show with noone to share it with. Going through the motions. Wake up. Eat. Walk. Work. Rest. Repeat.

I had a vividly awful nightmare about my ex last night.

To top all of this off, my only real solid support has been my therapist who I see through an organisation referral program so I have a limited number of sessions. She has been phenomenal, however our sessions are coming to an end and Ive been crying about it alot because I feel like Im losing the one thing that I look forward to most weeks because its the only space I feel I can be real. Plus I don't feel ready at all to stop therapy. She knows it too and we're both feeling defeated by this crappy system.

Im feeling hopeless. Work scares me. I dont have friends and not much energy or money to invest in finding them. I live alone and sometimes think about moving but I dont know where Id go. I fantasize about getting a van or something but I know that life isnt glamorous either. I feel stuck despite all the changes happening. and I feel so alone in it all which is honestly the scariest part.

@REDLINEZ750 What do you mean? thats art! Expressing yourself/ a feeling/ a concept through manipulation of a medium is art. Not everyone is into drawing and creating literal pictures. Its so much more diverse than that.

I also like to write, although it intimidates me a little. I think poetry would be fun to engage in.

Oh yeah i guess the mods have to vet it dont they. its just the drawing I did the other day that I mentioned

Re: living in hell and knowing I need to leave

i put some of my mind on a poem thread that @rav3n rav3n took me too not long ago but think i might of been more present there than should of been as it stopped real sudden. there was another forumite that used to post some powerful poems on there too that could feel when read.

maybe start a new thread for artists expressing themselves or shedding the wieght of past wounds or evils.....

i gotta come clean and show just how much i know of drawing @fruitisgood by asking is a pascal not a type of paint or is it like a felt pen or marker?

how bad are your symptoms by the way?

when i got positive covid was when it was treated like leprosy and ive had way worse hangovers than that, person i lived with hit her like a truck

@REDLINEZ750

Awe thankyou so much 🙂

I do have a portfolio but I cant really share much here. I also used to share everything I made with the world and have gotten more comfortable with maintaining some privacy with pieces.

Thats nice people are sharing and expressing themselves on other threads on here. .I might do that. I might think a bit more about if I want it to have some structure.

Pastels are like .... crayons? Well oil pastels at least. and soft are like chalk. Fun medium to work with.

Its pretty bad tonight. my head is hurting alot. I think im going to fall asleep very soon. And my ears are ringing. Just feel so weak and out of it
