How do you keep going?

@Tinywhisper11

It's important to remember that your struggles do not define you, and you are not a burden or a nuisance. You are a valuable and worthy individual who deserves love and care. It's okay to reach out for support and seek help when you need it.

It's also important to take care of your mental health and find ways to cope with difficult emotions. This can include practicing self-care, such as engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, talking to a therapist or counselor, and seeking out support from loved ones or support groups.

While it may feel like everything is going wrong, it's important to remember that life is full of ups and downs, and there are still opportunities for happiness and joy. It may take time and effort, but you can work towards building a life that brings you fulfillment and happiness, despite your challenges.

Remember, you are not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to support you.

How do I keep going? When I want to give up, I think about my family and friends. If I cannot keep going for my own sake, I keep going for their sake. I cannot be selfish.

Tiny, do you have loved ones, parents, siblings, anyone who loves you?

*big hugs* you are so strong, and I really admire your strength. You know, it's okay to not be okay. And there's no need to beat yourself up for it. Know you are never, ever, ever a burden or a nuisance, nor have you done something wrong.

I wish I could take it all away from you, you have a sweet heart and deserve none of this. I hope that writing here provides you with some relief. How's painting going? I know you struggle with doing it physically, but I hope it is bringing you some joy.

@Tinywhisper11. That's good you try to stay positive. It is hard to stay away from negative thoughts. Sometimes just talking online will help your mood. I'm sorry you feel like a burden but you are not and you are loved.

Everybody goes through trials. Nobody has the perfect life. I like to think everything will be worth it because at the end I will be in heaven where there is peace all the time.

I checked out a book at the library called Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic. I haven't read it yet but the author has no legs and no arms and looks like he's at peace with himself. Maybe reading it will help you.

@Tinywhisper11, do you use any social media, like Reddit, Twitter or ***? 😔

You can instead look at the situation objectively. You don't have to be happy or give up and be sad. Don't give in to sadness or try to pull in and cling to happiness, these things which are circumstantial in this case are temporary.

There is an entire world outside our minds, as you already know. True happiness is something you can't act like or "be" as a result of a given situation. It's contentment and inner satisfaction.

Objectively you are in a wheelchair and you need help. Look at the fact that you have people to help and look after you, some people don't have that. There are also people who are crippled mentally which is worse than physically. Bad things happen because there are good things that happen.

We all need help from other people in different ways, nobody is truly independent. Even if you lived alone in the woods you depend on the environment for your survival.

I don't know of the bad situations that happened. But remember... Some things are out of our control. It's nothing personal.

@TinyWhisper11

You have done nothing wrong. What happened to you is not your fault. It is unfortunate that these things happened to you, but I assure you... it has nothing to do with you.

You were simply a victim of circumstances... things beyond your control. Did you hear what I said, Tiny? You were**** a victim but no longer are you. The beautiful Tiny I know is a SURVIVOR! She may be missing pieces of her but, in my eyes, she is WHOLE. She is a whole beautiful person. She is strong, fierce, loving, kind, sweet, humorous, and brave.

You are nothing short of amazing, my friend. I love you! I admire your strength you possess. I love your wicked sense of humor. I love your openness. I love how you are not afraid to be yourself. I just love you. All of you.

You make so many people happy. You are a real inspiration. Tiny, I know things may seem unfair. You may question why you. But just know, you are an amazing person who has overcome the unthinkable and unimaginable. Please do not ever apologize for how you feel in times you do not feel your best. We can never put ourselves in your shoes to understand the pain you have gone through but we have compassion for you.

Personally, I think you have turned out amazing considering all that way taken away from you. You are strong and I am proud of you!

Hugs to the best Tiny there is! My Tiny! ♡ Xoxo.

@Tinywhisper11 You are so brave, and I am proud of you. Happiness should not be your task. Eagerly instilling in yourself the thought that "I want to be happy" is like a deadline, which makes you feel rushed and irritable. A wheelchair restricts your body but never your spirit. Your mind is free, if you are a person who does not resist reading, I hope you give it a try, maybe you will find what you need: peace, freedom, and happiness!

@Tinywhisper11 Hey hi, seems tough, wishing best for you.

And how do I keep going? Um, do you read webtoons? I like to read them, and at times I find them inspiring, for other times I remind myself the reasons I need to keep going and it's working for now.
