Life being life
Life has just been very lonely & draining lately. i’ve been feeling the emotions wayyy more lately & if i’m not feeling sad i just feel numb and i don’t know what to do or how to really cope with it honestly. it’s been eating away at me especially this past week. i just feel so behind in life and like i’m getting no where. i really think i battle with depression and anxiety amongst other things because of my childhood and even teenage years to now but nobody listens or takes me seriously so i feel lost.
@mae052 Hey :) Life sure can be draining and lonely. With everything that's going on in the world it's easy to just feel weighed down by it all. And being sad and numb kind of makes you isolate too at least it does me. I know alot of people suggest positive affirmations and while they're easy to do it's harder to believe them
Childhood - I think maybe that's one of the hardest things to overcome because it's like the foundation for everything when we become adults. Like building blocks and it can be hard for some people to understand how those things might affect someone if they haven't dealt with similar things. I think alot of people think we should just be able to get over it or let it go but it's hard to do when it's constantly there
I'm not a listener - but if you're comfortable with talking in a forum - I'll listen but there's no pressure either way - ok?
i really appreciate your kind words and just overall you taking your time to read and reply. it really means a lot <3 and as for your replies i can deeply agree with everything your saying. you hit it right on the nose. i really do thank you & it makes me feel more comfortable about opening up on here
@mae052 You're welcome :) I'm glad it made you feel more comfortable writing here. I know from experience it can be alittle scary at first but you're allowed to take your time and there's never any pressure to share anything you're not ready to. You set the pace :) I hope to see you around
Oh! Welcome to 7cups ❤️ It's really nice to meet you!
@mae052 Hi, I have read your post and I felt sth in my chest, I am really sorry for you, and now I have sth in my throat like when you need some cry but you can't. Also I have read the reply of mytwistedsoul, a wise one. I can only imagine how hard it is for you how and what you are feeling. It sounds like you are a very deep, mindful and sentimental person. And that sometimes can make you suffer more but also can help you move forward despite your current pains.
I am not here to give any kind of advice, neither I like nor I see my self capable of it. What I can share about myself about the depression,anxiety and numbness is that I kinda accepted that these periods happens and may rehappen again, so when the tide comes I try to accept it,not try to fight it to go, but rather I try to do whatever I can do with my life. (Listening to music,watching movies, praying, walking, chatting help decrease the ramifications for me) But what I can mostly say is that this periods helped me look from a different perspective to life. And helped me better understand those who suffer in anyway. (Maybe that's why here I am on 7Cups)I wanted to be helped and supported and listened to ,then, now I am trying to help at least (if any)
So, dear Mae052, I know it is hard for you,sorry If I have caused any inconvenience, life being life, but I hope this times will pass too and will become a story to tell someone one-day, all for the best.... ☔️ 🌈 ☀️
thank you so much. i practically teared up reading your reply. it means a lot to hear such kind understanding words. i’m not used to people hearing me out and actually listening so i rl appreciate you taking your time to even read some of my story and reply. <3 i definitely will try to take your advice on maybe just trying to listen to music more or find something to binge watch. i feel like for the first time in a while i’m heard. thank you so much again it’s appreciated beyond words and it helped me feel better🤍
