Re: Trying to be happy, isn’t working

Dear @Shaz51 @outlander @TAB @Anastasia @Emelia8 ,

This is just a general post. I struggle to be here everyday.  This last week has been particularly heavy and hard.  I am not sure how long I can continue feeling like this life should not be so difficult and sad.  My depression seem s to be taking me over completely. I have no people left in my life. I value nothing . I do t know how to move. On from this state .

Dear @Peri 

I know what you mean 😔🌷🌻

I wish I had an answer or a solution to what you describe. 

Sadly I dont. But you do have my understanding and you also have my genuine desire and hope for a better future. I'm sure it will come,  its just a matter of time.

 

In the meatime - stay patient,  stay hopeful,  keep doing things you enjoy,  keep busy,  treat yourself,  surround yourself with loved ones,  begin something new,  eat well,  walk the dog/s, get adequate sleep.  All the silly stuff we all know we are meant to do,  but often dont. Sending lotsa love. 

 

Emelia 🌷
