Be Honest 💕
If you had to be honest in this exact moment, no mask, no filter, what word or sentence would describe how you feel?
Hopefully for the future, humbled at all my blessings even if life isn't perfect as a paraplegic.

Tired, and better then I was, but still bad but better. Im also really hungry
@potatoesaregreat
I'm glad you are better than you were 💜 Go get yourself fed 😁
I'm lonely because I can't make any friends that stick for longer than a month. I'm embarrassed whenever I compare myself to other people. Others that surround me seem so charismatic, it's like you're in the patch where the grass is greener, unlike when you have social anxiety.
I'm also super broke...yay!!!
@LilMayer22
Ah please don't be embarrassed, we are all just fumbling our way through, I know it looks like other people have it all sorted, but some people are better at hiding it than others. Yes, I understand, being broke sucks , I hope today you have a good day. 💜💕
Mayer, finding one good friend is a feat in today's world. I became a paraplegic many years ago. I had dozens of friends at the time! Exactly 2 of them visited me in the hospital and remained friends. So finding a single great, true friend is tough. When you do, appreciate them! It will happen! Promise!
That's crazy, only two of them were real friends. I'm sorry about your change of situation, how did you became paraplegic, if you don't mind?
@Amanda84 I'm always honest, no matter what, no matter where, and no matter with whom. I never sugar coat anything. I'm good right now. I miss someone terribly, but otherwise, I'm good. I try not to dwell on mistakes or things that don't matter, or that I don't have any control over. I look at the positives in my life everyday, all the work I'm doing to make myself better, etc. Life is good!
@mlwhit83
Ah I'm glad life is good 😊 I hear ya, my bluntness can often get me in trouble but I say what I think, atleast people know I'm not fake 😁
@Amanda84 I'm the exact same way, which often gets me in trouble. ***, I've been kicked off many forums due to it....definitely blunt, assertive, and downright aggressive if needed be, but I don't sugarcoat anything and don't believe in it. I'm always 100% authentic. 😂
@mlwhit83
I'm very much the same way, some love and respect it, while others are let's just say less appreciative 😁 but the strength of this page lies in the fact that listeners are all so different and there's a fit for everyone 💜
@Amanda84 Yes, a lot of people can't handle me or my personality so much. I always felt like someone shouldn't ask if they can't handle my brutal honest answer. Why lie? Lol.
@mlwhit83
I agree, diplomacy is no fun 😂
@Amanda84 Yeah, I know that's right!
Whit, well said! Great attitude! Hugs
@warmheartedHuman836 Thank you, I'm completely unhinged! I feel so liberated being my complete authentic self! Never will be anything but! Never water yourself down for others.
I didn't even realize that this was an ongoing thread, I thought you and I were the only ones posting, lol. See, still a lot for me to learn about this place. I didn't realize there were another 58 pages to go, lmfao!
@mlwhit83
Ha, you'll get used to it, quite fast, I'm sure 😁
@Amanda84 Yeah, I'm a quick learner, especially when it comes to interesting things or anything health & mental health related.
Whit, l am new too, finding out the threads just carry on forever it seems! Ha
Some days like lately, it has been great. Things are finally going my way.
@starryCandy6123
Im genuinely so happy to hear that 💜💕
Nice to hear good news, starry!!!
Broken
Numb, depressed, abandoned, lonely... like i have no meaning in this world... nobody needs me or wants me there. That im not worthy of love or time of my loved ones. That something is wrong with me and I don't know what and I feel hopeless
@Amanda84 tired
@indigoHickory940
I hope you get the rest you needed 💜💕
Hickory. You and me both! Isn't that the natural condition of about everybody? Maybe it's just us two, but l think not! Rest! 🙃
Absolutely exhausted and kind of empty
@Daydreamingofyou
I'm sorry to hear that 💜💕
Daydreaming, so sorry. I feel that way often. Things will improve. Try to stay upbeat best you can, easy to write out, much harder to do! Hugs!
Daydreaming, you described my life too. Not every day, but a lot of them. I came to this place a week ago. A paraplegic in pain. Found no help for the physical pain. But saw people like you. Just struggling with life! So me trying to encourage people because l am old, has oddly cheered me up? My pain feels less important, less of a "thing" to endure! So help here found me in a way l wasn't looking for at all. I wanted a miracle post that would cure spinal cord pain (wishful thinking) but instead found a purpose to use my life experience to try at least to encourage those feeling exhausted and empty! Life is strange. I got no real help to lessen my physical pain, but emotionally l feel ten times better? I hope you find the same. People really do care here! For real!!
