Just had a good cry
Life hurts so much and has hurt me so much
But tomorrow is a new day

Hope you're ok and today better than yesterday

So I spoke to my mum the other night. She said all the old ladies at her retirement village are delighted I’m getting better and wish me all the best.

I’m actually quite cheered by this.

Went out last night
The cheery sounds of a Joy Division tribute band
Weird thing was I'm pretty sure this woman half my age was trying to pull me
But I couldn't even talk normally
I feel like I've been to the point of no return and that nothing will ever make me think that life is really worth it
I have burrowed out of holes like this before but at the moment it feels like it'll be tough to get out of this one

Have you pursued therapy and a local support community?

It can really help to anchor your thoughts closer to reality, which is that things are not that bad, your life is very much worth living, and there are people that want to help you through this dark period (including us on here).

You need to avail yourself of ways to call out your lying mind and not let it have complete control.

Please keep posting and checking in here. I wish I had more for you but given that we wouldn't know one another if we passed in the street, I've long enjoyed your posts on here. You've so much to say and give, the trick is to figure out what you can begin to "take" from life....and you certainly deserve all the good stuff

Just spent two days in bed
Thought I was going to be stuck there for weeks.
Feeling really bad
Managed to drag myself out as I have a ticket for a.Pink Floyd tribute show in Stockport and the thought of wasting cash was just unacceptable

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I’m still absolutely exhausted. I got out of hospital last Sunday all put back together but I’ve no desire to do much at the moment.

Mentally I feel quite delicate so I’m not even watching difficult tv like dramas. I think I need to take life day by day. Not put myself through much.

I have sent you a PM of a free site that works on smart TVs if you need more choice of content.

No need to rush it. Just enjoy (as much as possible) the time you get to rest and recover.

When I'm feeling down I like to watch comedy shows I've seen before. Something familiar and not taxing, that isn't going to surprise me with feelings I wasn't expecting.
