Hi @Eden1919
I understand the despair and hopelessness you must be feeling right now and I understand that sometimes, it doesn't matter what others have to say, it still can't get rid of those overwhelming emotions. That's ok, you're ok, there is nothing wrong with you for feeling this way. Please just keep talking to us. @justanotherguy @Appleblossom @NatureLover We're all here for you, as well as the rest of the community. I'm so grateful these wonderful members have kept up the connection for you.
It looks as if you've had a really hard night, I'm so glad you've continued to reach out here and that @jazz has been able to offer you a more private connection. I've been offered this connection in the past and it saved my life.
I'm sorry I've been a little bit MIA for a few days, I too have been feeling a little bit overwhelmed by the small things surrounding the bigger more critical things that I literally can't get out of!
I'm looking around my room right now, at all the clutter piling up and it's annoying me, I haven't washed my hair in 5 days, because I ran out of shampoo and I'm procrastinating about ordering more. All because of the bigger more pressing things going on in my life, taking that energy away.
What I do know is, those small things don't matter right now. "Don't sweat the small stuff" and "It'll be there tomorrow" are 2 common affirmations I say to myself. Most days it's easier said than done, but when you start to believe it, it starts becoming true.
Do you have a close friend or family member that you can ask to help with the small things or someone you can stay with or have them stay with you for a while, just to have a safe physical connection, some nurturing perhaps? As adults, we forget that we need some nurturing too. It's ok to just need a hug and a meal brought to us sometimes while we fight to keep our heads above water.
I'm sending you some big hugs right now 🤗
