Feeling Tired and Hopeless

When I feel like this, it’s time for self care. I take a shower, drink coffee and watch my favorite shows. I have started couponing. I start water fights with my 17 year old. I have to pull myself out of the darkness. There are some days it is impossible and I do let myself lay in bed and sleep. There are some days I can take a walk on the treadmill or clean the microwave. We don’t have to change the world. We just need to survive another day so that tmrw, we can say, we have survived another day. Find someone to invest in. I plan on couponing, getting thing for free and donating them to the homeless in memory of my Dad. Losing him has been the trigger for my depression and anxiety for the last 2 years, so I am going to do something to put that feeling into action. Chronic pain, it can be overwhelming. Physically and emotionally. Turn it around and put some action to counteract what you feel. Donate blood if you can, get on this app and encourage people, start a social media platform for people to go to. Find purpose. And when you are in the dark place, it’s okay to be there for a little while.

I feel this way too. Quite often. Hang in there.

Same. I just think of something or someone and I say to myself " I want to see what that turns into or I want to see my niece grow up" Just something to look forward to. I'm in a good place right now. But I swing in and out of those thoughts. I'm always happy I never acted on them. ❤

@somi I'm in Prozac and Ativan

Have you thought about an antidepressant, therapy? It helps. I've been on Paxil for 20 years. I don't feel like that anymore.

I feel like that everyday myself... I try to remind myself life is a journey not a destination. We went and got a dog he makes our journey a little less bleak..... Not to say that's the answer for everyone though.

Hang in there your not alone , i feel the same way . Day in and day out .. but everyday i get up and keep moving i do it for me iam the reason and you shod be too.. i suffer everyday with chronic pain , and anxiety its horrible but i keep moving .. kne day at a time like steviewonder said .. ❤️❤️.. where do you live what area?

I’ve been in your position many times also. I can’t see your profile, so I don’t know what it is you are dealing with health-wise, but I do know what a constant daily struggle to keep going feels like. Life really can be a struggle at times, especially when you throw in illness also. Whatever it is, it will get easier, even if the condition/illness does not go away, you will learn ways to deal with it, and it will become easier, I promise ❤️ take it one easy step at a time, you didn’t feel like this overnight, and you’re not going to feel better overnight. Give yourself time and compassion, you would do that for someone else, so you need to start doing it for yourself xxx I can share some ways that have helped me if you would like? Hang in there though, I promise you you won’t always feel like this 💕
