I don't even really know where to start with this.   I've never really tried anything like this.   It's always been kind of bury everything deep down and just go about my day.    But things recently have kinda hit a point where I'm barely sleeping,  my adhd is far worse than it's ever been.   I just kind of want to waste away into nothing. 

I suffer from Night Terrors or something very similar to Night Terrors.  And they've become increasingly frequent in the past couple of months.    Tried to go to the gym and try and make some positive changes, for it to only make me feel worse.  In a marriage that might as well just be roommates.   I feel, like there's nothing left, feel like I'm holding onto something that doesn't exist anymore but it's a black hole that won't let me escape it.   And I can't figure out how to make it better either.  

Unpack time I guess...  I dunno.

This place was suggested by a friend.   So I dunno...  Maybe something here will help put things into perspective.

Hi Sephyri ♥ : )

First, I want to say that it's incredibly brave of you to share what you're going through. It's not easy to open up about our struggles, especially when we've been accustomed to burying them deep down. Your courage in taking this first step is a testament to your strength.

It's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed when everything seems to be piling up. Night terrors, ADHD symptoms worsening, and the sense of being stuck can make it feel like you're trapped in a dark place. It's okay to feel like you're struggling, and it's okay to admit that things are tough right now.

Remember, you don't have to face this alone. Reaching out for support, whether it's through 7 Cups or a professional, can make a significant difference. Sometimes, just having someone listen can lift a weight off your shoulders.

It's also important to recognize that making positive changes, like going to the gym, is a process. It's okay if it doesn't feel great right away. Every step you take towards caring for yourself is a victory, even if it doesn't always feel like one.

In times like these, finding small moments of light can be powerful. Whether it's a hobby you enjoy, a walk in nature, or even just a few minutes of mindfulness, these moments can help you reconnect with yourself and find a sense of peace.

It's okay to feel lost sometimes. Life's journey isn't always a straight path, and it's okay to take things one step at a time. Be gentle with yourself and acknowledge your efforts, no matter how small they might seem. Every effort counts, and every step forward is progress.

You have a unique strength within you, and even though it might feel hidden right now, it's still there. Hold onto hope, and know that brighter days are possible. You have the power to navigate through this, and you don't have to do it alone.

With warmth and understanding,

Hi Sephyri, 
I am so sorry you're going through such a hard time. 
You've been keeping up for so long, bottling up your feelings and issues, you must be such a strong person. And to my eyes you're even stronger now, since you've decided  to share this with us. 
I know it can be difficult to open up with our loved ones, even if they are the most suitable to help us. I hope here you'll find the courage to slowly open up and share your thoughts, as it surely will help you. 
Woyld you mind sharing a little bit more what's bothering you the most at the moment? What would you like to talk about? The night terrors? Feel free to let out whatever you feel should be the first thing out... 
Sending love!
