@NataliaOrtega
Hey Natalia. Sorry you're having a rough day. 
@lovelyllama13 <3 thanks
Extremely I'm not sure how i even managed to get out of bed or eat but I did.
@Laura I had a bit of a tough week last week; however I feel way better going into this week. I have also been listening to the song "bounce back" by Big Sean which has helped alot! I feel like I am getting back in the swing of things and bouncing back from being in a funk.
@cSmith02 I'm sorry to hear last week was hard for you :( But I'm very glad you've been doing better. Keep us updated:)
It wasn't. I called it zen day. I relaxed and got to focused on reading drawing yada yada. I suppose my posture and hunger caught on and as usual I am fighting NOT a TOTAL but prone to be guilt trip on how the day is over. I should have done this. I don't want to go to work and sweat tomorrow. What am I gonna wear? Man I should do laundry... and I can't just relax. Like why do I judge myself so hard or feel like I have to clean or pass ok for a job or do all the his meaningful stuff?
I feel so isolated and alone all the time. No one cares about me. I have worked hard at my self esteem but feel without any friends and support it is an impossible task.
My thought are of dying sometimes and know that no one would miss me anyway I survive each day but never live it. I feel completely detatched from everything all the time like i am in a xonstant daze. I wake up and feel so tired. I try but cannot face anything and have no joy any more.
@samanthajb38 We care and we're glad you're here. Please know you're not alone. You have a community here that has your back.

Yeah these past few days have been hard!:( I told my doctor how I have been feeling which was really hard and then my mom made me feel like it was wrong like an example would be her saying you got what you wanted now to see a psychiatrist and get meds it was said in such a mean way like what I am doing I so wrong reaching out for help! so now I feel like it was really bad to try and get help :( but now I am getting it by it feels so wrong to know my family isn't supporting me and is making me feel like it was a horrible thing to tell a doctor I'm just trying to hang in there even though their comments can be mean:( I just feel really down :(
@littleCup5877
It sounds like there may be a lack of undertstanding and defitnie negative connotations associated with help seeking. You did the right thing by seeking help. Sorry you have to endure this. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk.

Iam having a bit of a difficult day. I recently found a part time job, so I have to learn how to be more effective with my time. I am also juggling my studies, parenting, rebuilding my finances and staying sober. It's a lot to manage so I want to learn more effective time management skills. Thank you for the support.

@Lauratoday has been hard. I won't lie and do what i usually do and say 'it's fine' or 'it could be worse'. I'm lost. Confused. Scared even. Thinking that i am worthless. That my existence and matter is simply not needed. My life has no real joy. It has no proper excitement. Yet I can't complian as many have it much harder. Many struggle everyday. Worse than i do. Worse than I can imagine. I can sit and tell you my exact thoughts. I can tell you my struggles. Rant about my issues and uncertainties but in reality who's to say they won't return? Being stuck in an endless loop of constantly being aware that our existence is pointless and small. We are small. We make no difference. We are alone and lost. Smaller creatures in a world so big it is truly terrifying. Our work will be forgotten. My life will be forgotten so why bother to make it great when in years to come I will not be remembered. I will not be known. I want to make a difference but don't we all? So yes today may seem hard to me but today is small and insignificant. Today will be forgotten in a matter minutes. Today and the struggles that came with it will hopefully be left behind.
@purpleGlobe6066 Purple who says you can't feel that way just because others have it worse. We get that enough anyway right, b/c people can't see our mental illness they think the guy with the broken leg is I'll but not us b/c it's unseen. IDK about you but I feel that from those closest to me. People don't know what sick is until one is depressed so much the whole body aches, yea. Try do do just one little thing to "pamper" yourself. Me, I'm a man, give me a little good chocolate or cigar and and mindfulness and somehow I get that brief relief. Mind you I'm not trying to say problems go away, Lord do I wish. You hang in there b/c this older gentleman cares!
