    Yeah unfortunately. When those days happen I just try to get through it and set some small goals for the day to make it go by faster until I feel better. Go for a walk, clean the house, do a project, do errands, workout, hobbies, etc.

    I've had them for almost twelve years. Nevertheless, I had a catharsis last December and I feel much better now. I can assure you that I thought there was no reason to keep on living for a very long time. But in the end, it got better. Also, I never used to believe the people who told me it would get better.

    If I, who I used to consider a lost case, could, everyone can. :slight_smile:

    Hugs and have a nice day!

    Thanks got the advice. I feel much better today and more accepting of my situation. I have a choice. Make the most of my situation and try and find some happiness or continue living a lie. The latter is not an option

    Thanks Hun. I've had a bit of a release today and faced a few demons. I can't lie to myself anymore and I need to make new friends, so I don't feel so alone all of the time.

    Yes, I've been there... and I'm still are sometimes. The point where I don't want to do anything more, that I want to give up beause the perspective of keep going without knowing if it worths is overwhelming.

    I've spent last year in that point. Working a lot, more and more, just to keep me active for not sinking completely in depression. But now I'm aware that, as you say, I have a choice. And I choose to keep going. Stopping is never an option. Although is easier, because it doesn't require to fight... but it will destroy me, for sure.

    Keep that in mind, and search for your own happiness. You deserve it!

    Thanks. Make sure you don't give up either. The bad times have outweighed the good times recently. Time for that to switch around.

    Dunno about yourself, but I'm gonna try and get some counselling

    You're welcome. :slight_smile: Thank you for being so generous and trust us to share the things that are bothering you with us. This is a perfect place to make friends, so feel free to post on my wall whenever you need. I'm absolutely sure that you'll make some friends in your real life too. Sometimes it's difficult to find someone who understand ourselves, but for such a sweetie person like you are, it'll be a piece of cake. ;-)

    Hi there! Counselling could help in that gaining insights, tools that allow you to work through things and turn the page as it were. It's great that you are wanting to reach out for the support.
