Living with Ourselves

Hello @eudemonism @Meowmy @outlander

Feeling stressed or having depression hanging over us is such a nightmare isn't it..

I have felt depression lurking for some time amidst my dealing with anxiety..

then just when I feel that I have a handle on it life throws another curve ball..

I think that those of us who struggle from time to time with symptoms of whatever mind struggle it might be..obviously have different life experiences to those who do not..

Yet we are far more intuned with our mind, body, soul than the rest of the world..

At the moment depression has gripped me in it's claws for a couple of days...I have managed through distraction with music and exercise to push it back.....anxiety is always there waiting of course..

My thoughts today...the rest of the world have not got a clue about what life really means..

We do because we experience the mind as well as the physical...

Others thoughts welcome..

💛

ps:

I meant to say that depression after taking it's grip is still hanging around..

anxiety well lives within me..

probably sounds very familiar..

Oh, I hear you @Sophia1 I sooooooo hear you. Sitting at the blank screen, hoping for something that might be comforting, all I can send is a few of these 💕💞💜 knowing it won’t change a thing, but you are thought about.

@Sophia1

Alot of my stress is related to financial and social issues... there's also medical / symptom stuff... but I'm not sure what causes what...

When it hits it hits doesn't it..

I have been fighting this for so long...

I just became so weary again..so much pain from the outer world with people who are important to me and

it is the again of feeling weary that makes me so angry with myself..

yet rationally I know that I would say to another ...you must not judge yourself as you have far too much emotional energy that you are already dealing with for whatever reason..

yet I try to respond to others..

I attempt to suggest or support..

now look at where I am...so how can others believe in my support..

I feel worse...

I feel more pain because I feel that I have let others down..

My support is genuine nevertheless..my desire to help is not diminished in any way..

I hide here and restrict myself to certain posts where I feel that I might be able to offer some support..

Am I though?

I have fallen

I am crying ..

I am not afraid to say this...I am hurting so much and the tears are pouring out ...

I am actually letting go

I am actually fighting this ba....d of depression after so very long a time..

There is no quick fix..

Emotions are flowing ...

far better in than out..

I am still regardless, supporting those who already know ...as my desire to support them is still as strong..

my own state of mind does not change my wanting to be there for them..

I am a very passionate, deep person whose support is ongoing...

@Sophia1 Hey hope you feel better soon. Been there before. Really know how you feel. Think it’s true, hold on a bit longer, longer, then good times will come again. Hope you find comfort and relief. Care and love,kindness, embracing acceptance.All will be yours. Take care. Hope you have a good sleep.

Thank you @Meowmy

Lovely of you to take the time to respond with empathy and encouragement..

Yes, everything that you have stated is true..

We just need to remind ourselves of this to get through..

Then start all over again and yes keep on reminding ourselves..

I have seen your name or whatever they call it pop up in supporting @eudemonism

hello there @eudemonism I am not in the best place at the moment..

however always send you thoughts of caring about you..

💛💚🧡

@Sophia1 Hey hope you find nice things to do to be kind to yourself. I wrote a love letter to myself once when I was low and down. Funny that helps.May be nice bath, or music, or new bed sheets, or paint, draw something. Mostly I think being around people. Hope you have a good night rest.lol.

@Sophia1 I don’t know if we experience the same emotions, it sounds familiar, very familiar to me. I feel I can encourage others to do and be, but me.........that’s where the problem lies. I can feel like a hypocrite, as I can’t do for me what it appears I might do for them.

I get up, only to fall, again and again.

I hear deep sincerity in your words, both here and to those close to you irl. And there’s that brain freeze. So much happening inside my head, but I just can’t get it out. So I’m sending kind thoughts your way, and a few of these. 💕💜💞💞💜💕
