If you had to be honest in this exact moment, no mask, no filter, what word or sentence would describe how you feel?

sadness and regret
@Jewelmoon17
💜💕
Jewel, l have spent countless hours regretting past stupid decisions. And it always increases my sadness. Always! I am amazed to here a person say, "l have no regrets in life". I have hundreds, maybe thousands? Maybe some people can instantly put bad experiences behind them and never consider them again. Problem is, if you never consider them, you won't grow from them and keep repeating them. Pondering your life choices is great up to a point! But if you just chew on them with no break, they can break you! We are nine of us perfect. Even the person with no regrets has hurt people in their lives, they simply don't give a rip! So they are never sad since they regrets nothing. I would rather be like you, than that other person devoid of normal empathy for others! Love you!
My life could be much worse than it is...however if I could have anything right now, I'd get a new body. A healthy one. To transplant my brain (or maybe just me) into...then I'd throw the worthless chronic meat-bag I inhabit now into the nearest forest. Let wild animals eat it & scatter the bones.
@slowdecline48
I really am so sorry that you are in so much constant pain 💜💕
@Amanda84 'Preciate the thought. There are other members here in much worse shape than me...I feel sorry for them but--not sure if I should say this--at the same time, I'm glad that I'm not in their place. Like right now I'm lying down because my main condition is giving me a headache, my guts are a bit touchy today & I'm trying to let my right knee heal, at least a little bit (I reopened a scab by accident two nights ago. 🤪)...yeah. Today is not a good day.
Even so, I've been physically rather active this year. More than I have in many years. And I'm almost 50 & still not grossly overweight (it's a serious problem in the United States...🎼"the Land of the Fried, the Home of the Weighed"🎶).
So I really shouldn't complain that much, all things considered.
I feel you slowdecline, l feel you. You are funny! I would throw my old one into the forest too as a paraplegic. Haha
@warmheartedHuman836 You're paraplegic? 😳 Holy cr∆p!... See, this is why I try not to b***h about my conditions most of the time. A place like 7Cups can give a certain perspective... Sure I have problems, but I can still walk.
(I do use a cane, however)
How long have you been in a wheelchair? Is it electric or do you push the wheels?
Decline, a push chair. Super light weight sports type of chair. After 44 years being a paraplegic is east-peasy. I stayed skinny and muscular and move easily. My disability is pain, not the chair. I have realized nobody can fix this spinal cord pain. I take Gabapentin for it and it helps some. Don't feel bad for saying you're having a bad day. People in here have way more problems than l do. I don't judge someone's level of hardships next to mine! Never! You speak your mind always! Physical pain is easier than emotional pain. I've had both, ifvl had to choose one or the other, l would take physical! But maybe that's just me? Ha
I’m tired and exhausted, and some days it feels like everything is heavy. Still, I want to keep fighting. I want a purpose, however small, and to take tiny steps forward every day. I may move slowly, but I don’t want to give up on living. Thank you to everyone here for sharing — it helps more than you might think.
@DaveCzapel
Never give up, it is possible for things to change 💜💕
@Amanda84 Absolutely, we can change at any point in our lives, as long as we're dedicated to it and want it bad enough!
@mlwhit83
@Amanda84
Thank you both, that really means a lot to me. I know change is possible, and hearing your encouragement gives me extra strength to keep going. I’ll hold on to that reminder and keep fighting, step by step. Grateful to have crossed paths with you here. 💜🙏
@DaveCzapel I'm glad to have met you today as well!
Dave, great attitude! That is always the way forward, small steps! Rarely comes in giant leaps! Hugs
@warmheartedHuman836
small steps all the way — thanks for the encouragement
Sad,hopeless but also hopeful..
@Soonstar
💜💕
Soonstar, so honest! Thank goodness for hope. Remember in the movie. The Shawshank Redemption, hope is not a bad thing but maybe the best of things. Sometimes, things do change for the better!!! Hugs
Lonely & sick of trying. But I feel like one last genuine chance is worth trying for.
@intellectualJar5716
💕💜
You should never give up!
Intellectual, absolutely one last genuine chance can be the thing that changes a life. Keep fighting! Hugs
I just want to be loved so bad, that's all I want. It feels like life wasn't made for me. I can't handle anything it throws at me. I feel alone and abandoned. I feel ugly from the inside out. I gave everything I had to be loved. I did everything I thought I had to do to receive grace and safety. But it was never enough. Now I'm nothing.
@Josef05 I'm sorry you went through such a horrible experience when you were young into your years now. But you have to learn to love yourself before anyone else can love you and before you can love another. You need to find yourself and heal from the trauma that caused you to feel this way in the first place. I know it's hard. Trust me, I've had nothing but toxic friendships & relationships my entire life, but I know what I bring to the table and know how I am in relationships, which is why I continue to stay single, so I can focus on myself and what I need to do for myself, not for what others can do for me. You need to know and see your own self-worth and love yourself entirely, all the way around. When you start doing things for yourself, your energy and views will change in the world. You can't lean on anyone to love you as it's only a temp fix for a long term situation. You really need to do your own work on yourself to find yourself anywhere in this world, especially with others.
Alone, unnoticed, left out
@Amanda84 exhausted
