Hi
I don’t know why I’m writing this, I guess it’s because I am out of options. I’m tired of being here. This isn’t new, I’ve felt this way for a long time. Deep down I’m just not happy. I’m not even living, I’m just trying to survive day after day after day. I’m so tired. I don’t know what my purpose is and truly, it doesn’t matter to me. I am drained. I have no hope, I’ve lost it all.
@compassionatePlum5246 I'm truly sorry to hear how much you're struggling. It sounds like you're feeling incredibly overwhelmed and exhausted by the constant battle to just get through each day. Please know that your feelings are valid, and it's okay to feel lost and unsure about your purpose. Remember, it's okay to seek support, whether from friends, family, or a professional. You're not alone in this, and there are people who want to help and listen. Take things one step at a time; it's okay not to have all the answers right now ❤️🙏🏻
Hi Jem,
I’m sorry for my late reply. Thank you very much for this sweet response. You are right, I do feel so very overwhelmed and exhausted. You put how I’m feeling into the right words, thank you. Thank you for telling me my feelings are valid too. Unfortunately I don’t have access to professional help at the moment, but I’m trying hard to be able to afford it. I have no friends, my family doesn’t feel like a family. I feel like a burden to everyone around me, and I know that I am. They just won’t say it out loud.
Again, thank you for comforting me. I appreciate it and you.

It can get so, so tiring sometimes because you have to work so hard at recovery. None of it comes easy, but it does come. What kinds of things are you doing right now to care for yourself? @compassionatePlum5246
Hi Vase,
Thank you for this reply. I appreciate it. Well, I am trying to eat well, but to be honest I don’t think I’m eating properly. I only eat when I feel like it as opposed to eating 3 regular, healthy meals a day as recommended by everyone. But I am sleeping, so I guess that’s good.
I know that it is hard because your depression will lie to you and tell you that food isn't necessary. But it absolutely makes the fight a tons time harder if you aren't doing the three meals a day and drinking water. So start there and see if that improves things. @compassionatePlum5246
Hi Vase,
I hope you can forgive my lateness and delayed reply. I’m sorry it took me a while to respond, but thank you for the suggestion. I’ll try to eat 3 meals a day, slowly and hope that there is progress with that. Yes, truly depression lies to you, I agree with that too. Anyways, how are you doing? I hope everything is well.
No need to apologize for taking time away. We all need that sometimes.
I am glad to hear that eating is going just a little better. I hope that your depression is a little easier to bear this week as well.
I am overall okay. I have tons of work to do which is making me a little stressed at a time that I wish I could enjoy family more, but I am trying. And trying is ultimately all that any of us can do. @compassionatePlum5246
Hi Vase,
Thank you for understanding. And thank you <3 Glad you are ok, I hope work goes smoothly and that you can spend some time with your family. You’re absolutely right, that’s all we can really do at the end of the day.
Wishing you a peaceful Friday.@compassionatePlum5246
Thank you Vase 😊
Hope you have a great & relaxing weekend. 🌻 If you ever want to be friends, I’m here :)
I believe that we are friends now who are here for each other. Write back any time. @compassionatePlum5246
