Now what?

Hi @outlander

I am still managing to do a lot of things. But it's like you say, put the cartoon or clown face on and walk through life. I laugh, I joke, I participate, I do what people expect. which is little these days. But I feel dead inside most of the time. What makes it worse is I have every reason to be grateful and I have a really hard time accepting that I can still feel shit even if I have every reason to be grateful. Just being able to live in peace in a peaceful country and not having a terminal disease should be baseline happiness. My head is f* up, and I do struggle with that.

How's your day?

@Former-Member yes those are the basics of life neccessities but so are alot of other things. you can still be grateful and have depression/anxiety and a range of other things. these illnesses dont discriminate.

people can still also function with these things and while they might feel empty are often the kindest people becasue they have known hardships.

bugger @Former-Member

what have you been doing?

have you got anything planned for the weekend

i had to work at both jobs as usual, watched the kids and called a helpline @Former-Member
