I just need to share this: for the first time in so very long, today I actually feel happy. Nothing particularly exciting happened - in fact something unpleasant occurred. It hasn't taken my pleasure away. I had a picnic lunch with another mother and our children. We sat in the sun, on some grass near a playground. We initially sat somewhere else, and were moved on for being inadvertently on "private" land, but it didn't upset me. It was a simple, enjoyable time. And I feel happy. I think I'd forgotten how that feels. I feel light. This is wonderful. Wow!
Thank you for noticing this and flagging it with us. We are aware of this happening and have reached out to @Former-Member.
Thank you also for being here to support @Former-Member when she is ready

Re: Happiness
Feelings of being empty and hollow. And like i don't even exist... watching the clock go tick tock... while i wonder when these feelings will end... thinking of the poor and needy... has never been so vein...
Tick tock goes the clock... it is kind of like feeling shocked... it is kind of like feeling betrayed... it is kind of like wanting to light a candle and beginning to prey... it is kind of like knowing the darkness is here.
Tomorrow is a new day... I'm due for my needle and it will keep me sane for another 28 days... my heart hurts and i have no one to blame... we are all players in this relentless real life game...
I'm tempted to listen to some music as i drink a nice hot coffee. And deal with tomorrow when it gets here. It's not really going to make a difference at the end of the day.......
My life has been a life that has been lived vein... because i have known no other way... Sleep is a cheap way too stop the pain... how many others are out there like me? As the clock. Goes tick tock.
It's not about how many eyes have seen me... but more about how they felt... when they saw what they saw... a problem i have dismissed... a problem i do not miss... for no longer does it matter to me...
A blessing in disguise... she was too me... a treasure from heaven who loved what she saw... sweet memories of bliss... sweet memories of no pain... why is it that we have to play this relentless game?
Tomorrow is a new day... they say deep breathes make life easier... it's time to make myself a coffee and turn on the radio... so i can distract myself from the pain... i do not know any other way...
I hope everyone is okay 💓
😊

@Former-Member,just take a break but if you are like me,I need the forum to keep me going,break the isolation as due to being pissed off with life,my social triggers in my anxiety and depression (people who rude,and I know are pathetic gossips etc) and losing faith in the "help" process this is my lifeline.
