Smile smile much better right when you laugh..
Being lonely and too broke to buy the things I need.
@bgdave God that's a big one for me too
When I realize that I don't have anyone to cry to
I know how you feel. Alone is a scary word.
@bmead43 yes, a scary feeling also
@determinedSummer25 aw I'm hear if you want someone to listen too :)
Whoops I meant here not hear xD
My kids future.
school and loneliness
Biggest for me is money. If Im struggling more than usual, I want to hide in my bed and ignore it.
Early sobriety is also a big one for me. Im praying that this time I am able to fight through those first crappy weeks and get to the good part.
Had four years and relapsed, so I know how the freedom of sobriety after the cloud lifts feels. I want that back.
@ScaredSaint Hi
I'm struggling with staying sober too. Ive got 6 months so far, but I think about it everyday. My stress makes it worse.
@bmead43
i hope you are staying clean and sober. Ive got almost a week. Lately, I have fallen off around a week. Im holding on and knowing that the good stuff is all worth it.
Sending strength and good vibes your way.
Being a third culture kid, feeling dis-included from either culture.
I do not have a sense of what is home because of the way I grew up in my family, and sometimes I feel maybe I will never be able to have one in the future. Life seems to just go on without much interesting things happening, because I locked myself up from every kindness possible in fear of another harm.
I hear you @SummerDelight
@SummerDelight,
I hear you. It's a tough one. Usually, I feel that the good outweighs the bad. How lucky was I to have that diversity of experience! Other times, though, I feel ungrounded, like there is no solid place to run to and call home. If you can't have a place to call home, I hope you have people who offer the same feeling of security and belonging.
@SummerDelight no don't lock yourself from every kindess :< We are here to listen to all your pain and struggles,support you when things get rough. We are here to listen and support you non stop 😊
Triggers:
When I'm depressed and someone talks over me in a conversation
When I'm depressed and my SO takes me out to dinner, to make me feel better, and the silent pauses feel especially long.
When I look around, living in my SO's place, realizing none of this is mine, never will be mine, and I have no say in anything.
When people only see me as X's SO.
Other:
I live overseas with my SO and mother-in-law, in the house he grew up in. I'm grateful, sure, but the mask I wear feels especially heavy around her. She gossips. She's always telling me what to do. She'll ask for a suggestion but just does what she wants anyway. She doesn't listen. And every day I have to take it with a smile. So I avoid her, which makes the house feel like its closing in on me.
This house which reflects nothing of mine, and never will. This house which my SO loves so much.
@row036 Hi
I'm in the same situation living with bf. And I dont think he is the most trustworthy person so it makes me want to dissapear.
One thing? How about a short list 😅😩
1) holiday seasons.
2) someone elses depression can effect me too, which sucks coz Im an empath. I wanna be strong for everyone but Im not as strong as people keep saying I am.
3) my birthday.
@SailingFox
My birthday too triggers my depression. It's depressing when someone wishes and it's depressing when someone doesn't.
Hi @dazzledblue123
I didnt realize how badly my birthday effects me until some years back; whenever my birthday week rolls around I get into this deep funk. When I turned off my birthday notification on FB and my world is quiet, I feel so at peace 😂 Its still off, and only a few people who matters remembers it. But even that triggers me sometimes.
@SailingFox
Hey I did the same thing. I took down my birthday from fb. Now only people who matter wish me and I understand even that gets too much sometimes. I wish the day to just somehow vanish from the calendar.
@dazzledblue123 omg same! 😂
