Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day @Eden1919 It does seem like a cliche but baby steps are all we can do when we feel like this. Don't put any pressure on yourself and don't expect things to improve overnight - that is not the reality of life - especially when you are feeling so terrible. Do things for yourself today - anything that gives you a little joy or a glimmer of light in your day. I need to go offline for a while - I've finaly started painting again and want to continue while I have both the energy and motivation (this is my self-care and small glimmer of light for today). I will check in on you later.
Stay safe and stay strong - you can do this Eden - I do believe in you ![]()

Hi @Eden1919
Thinking of you
go back to basics and just focus on one thing at a time
remember these things to do- eat healthy meals, water, sunshine,sleep,air and exercise

How do you spend your day @Eden1919 ?
Do you live in a small country town or city? I think its important that you find someone to help you- a good GP mite be a start and tell him or her how you are feeling. I am sorry you are struggling currently.
