@amiablePeace77
The best thing in my life is my partner.
The biggest struggle is legislated poverty due to having a disability and the inability to function well enough to find financial relief. Abuse at home plus the inability to afford market rent for a bachelor apartment with my entire disability per month makes life feel like hopeless struggle. The winter kills.
May the political will to keep everyone alive overcome the greed of those with power.
@Zeraphim
I'm glad that you have someone for support in your partner and also hope you find the support you need here on the site. Much has to be improved in this world and improving conditions for people with disabilities is surely one of the very important things!
@Zeraphim
Zera,
I don't know what to say, so may I just sit with you?

@amiablePeace77 There certainly are many ups and downs. One up is the relaxation of the holidays. Also spending time with family. A down is having to go back to school after the break. Another struggle is with finding motivation.
@alicetang07
Returning to school after holidays can feel hard for many students. It can help to reflect on what motivated you to go to the school you're attending, how does this education help you to achieve your goals for the future?
@amiablePeace77 the best thing in my life is the winter .... 😀 i know its difficult but waking up every morning and sipping some hot tea with sandwich is the best feeling of life ... i love the cold ... my hand remains warm all the time but when they gets cold ... i becomes happy ....
@politeShip1560
Your hot tea and sandwich seem to be a great motivator to get out of bed ! I can well relate because just thinking about a nice healthy breakfast makes me want to leave bed too!
Btw. what do you mean when your hands get cold ... you become happy? Is it the anticipation of another hot tea? 😃
@amiablePeace77 i mean where i live summers are longer then winters .. so when it gets cold ... i am happy ... and i tend to leave my hands to get cold to get a feel of the winter...
is it weird ? 😳
@politeShip1560
Ah I see! You're very creative in bringing back good memories 👍 I guess as long as your hands will not freeze it's okay 😀

@amiablePeace77 My little dog and reading
@gbrenna
Dogs can be amazing helpers to get through the worst in life.
The best thing in my life right now are my friends! I'm so thankful I have their time, attention, kindness, friendship, and love!
@onwardforevenmore
Nice that you're surrounded by caring people, they are precious!
@amiablePeace77 The best thing in my life right now is my relationship with my family and focus on myself. The biggest struggle right now for me is fear of my life after I graduate, stressing my path to being successful.
@DanielFiechter
I think many students feel worried or scared about the future after graduation, you are not alone. Often high self expectations cause fear. Have you tried to talk to someone in your family about it? It's impossible to think clearly and make good plans when you're anxious.
The best thing in my life right now is watching my kids bloom into the people they will become.
the biggest struggle I have is finding my place in the world.
@amygoetze
I can only imagine how proud you might be watching them blooming. We all want to belong somewhere, know where our place in the world is. Often this happens when we forget what our calling is or that it changed like when kids grow up and leave the home. What gives you meaning in life?
I don’t feel like I have much meaning in my life other thank my kids. I am getting divorced and lost my job. I do have friends I enjoy. I need to find a way to get back to being productive!
@amiablePeace77 The best thing in my life right now is that I'm sleeping better. I sleep longer, not a full 7-8 hours, but being able to sleep 4-5 hours straight us a game changer. I attribute this to the Vitamin K2 that I've been taking for my bones. It helps with calcium absorption and calcium helps sleep. I think this us why it helps.
@Amelia763
I'm glad that vitamin K2 helps you and you can sleep better now!
The best thing in my life right now is getting to hang out regularly with newer friends.
The thing I'm struggling with the most right now is unrelenting negative thoughts.
@cafedaydreams
I hope that spending time with your new friends will bring joy into your life and help you to get out of the negative thinking loop. Here are 2 links which might be helpful:
