This is where I am at – a very dark and murky place. Everything is falling apart around me and I don’t know how to handle it. I am not handling it. Sometimes I want to give up, and that really scares me. I feel like the only thing keeping me grounded is my cat – she is my sanity and comfort – but she is a cat.
I need something else and I am afraid what will happen if I don’t get it. I know I need to ask for what I need, but I don’t know who to ask. I am not close with anyone right now.
Hello. I came to this site to look for ways to help my daughter and I read your post. I don’t know the right things to say, but my heart goes out to you. Your cat is a start-I am sure she loves you dearly. There is a list of counselors on this web page for each state-is that a possibility? I truly hope you keep searching for the light and I pray that things will get better for you. I don’t know how fast these things post but I will check back on here again tonight.
I came back and do not see a response-I will try again in a day or so. I hope today you are doing ok.
Hi,
Thanks for the concern. It means a lot!
I feel like I am trying to pick up the pieces of some of the events that occurred last week. I had many moments of vulnerability and I am trying not to beat myself up for how I acted or what I said to others. I don’t feel quite as overwhelmed or emotionally ‘raw’ (perhaps the laspse in judgement and SIing helped in the moment), but it still feels like I am trying to get somewhere by trying to run through mud.
I can totally relate to you. My life feels like its spinning out of control and im just trying to keep up with it. I actually just saw a picture on Pinterest a little bit ago and it really brought up my mood, since we cant post pictures, heres what it says “If you are reading this, you have survived your entire life up until this point. You have survived traumas, heartbreak, devestation, the different phases of life. Ahere you are. You go girl. Youre awesome”
And you know what? At some point or another we’ve all hit that low, but we kept going. And this time you can still keep going, because well.. the post said… youre awesome 🙂
Good luck and stay strong, you can get through this. <3
I know how you feel. That feeling of helplessness. I feel like my life is a tornado spinning and spinning and not giving me time just to breathe. I know one day there will be light to life. I know there is even though we experince terrible things. Keep your head up, stay strong, and just remember that you will survive this. 🙂
