Don't Want To Deal With Life

BeHapppy118 posted:

Hello all,

What I was going to post got deleted on me somehow and I don't want to re-type all of it so I'll keep it short. I am not doing so well anymore because of something that happened. I feel sad, and like I don't want to deal with life today. I didn't want to get oit of bed this morning but I did anyway. I went out even though I did not feel like it. It made me feel a bit better I feel relaxed which is good, but I don't feel as good as I did. I just want to go to sleep and get up when this all passes. I will hang in there though.

I hope all of you are ok. Hugs to all.

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

hey behappy, well done on getting out of bed, going out and putting up a bit of a fight.
I am sorry today has been so crappy for you but again well done for seeing it will pass, keep fighting.
Do you want to share what happened to make you feel sad and make your day so bad, you don't have to but just to let you know we are here if you want to vent, we can listen to you
sending hugs to help you sleep

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily....... Zig Ziglar

Hey BeHappy, I am sorry you are feeling so sad. you have done good today by getting up and going out (i haven't gone out yet). It is not easy when you just want to curl up in bed and stay there until you feel happy again. I hope whatever happened does not keep you down too long - although i do know that is easier said than done. i have been trying forget things said/done lately (not working) and i just keep digging a deeper hole. i need to climb, but i dig instead.....

hang in there.

Thank you Chez! I know that the bad times can't go on forever. There are also other people in my life that can help me get through it and also all of you!
No, I don't think I want to share, but it's nice knowing that you are willing to listen.

I will take the hugs, I get enough sleep already!

I think I sleep too much! Hope you are doing well. Hugs back to you.

Also, your quote at the bottom, I smile to myself because it's different and kinda true. But for those of us that have trouble bathing... (ok, maybe me..) all I can do is smile and laugh.

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

Thanks, I'm all right...real tired and sluggish today...and leaving for a counseling appointment in less than a half an hour. Nervous but looking forward to seeing how it works out. Thanks for asking, how are you today?

BeHapppy118 replied to alaska_mommy's response:

You're welcome. Wow, I was supposed to go for a counseling appoinment too but I am not going today. I'm feeling the same as you, also pushing myself to do things. But I think it's wearing off though because I usually feel better in the late afternoon. Mornings are usually the hardest.. And thank YOU for asking!
I hope your appointment works out for you. At least you are going, now I feel like I should've went..

Good for you!

Well, we can't win them all! Sometimes you just need to rest, and that's ok too, just make another appointment for as soon as you can.
My appt went well, I think I'm going to like this lady, she seems to really understand what is going on. I hope as time goes on I can make some progress.

Yeah you are right. When I think that we can't win all the time, it helps me feel better in some sort of way. I am glad your appointment went well and you found someone who understands.
