Numerous problems with no immediate solutions, am strong but don’t feel tough enough for this life which seems to become harder and harder (no self-harm intent, can’t leave loved ones), just tired of struggling and could do with an understanding hug, empathy to anyone else finding life an uphill battle

Just sneaking in here.... I relate deeply to much of your post. Have been going steeply uphill for far too long now, 'tis exhausting but necessary. How are yoou feeling now? Do you have any friends or family supporting you at all?
Big hug from here for now ;-)

Sending you a very big hug and all the love and luck in the world. May your path become easier to walk.

Solidarity and empathy from me xxx

Count me in. It’s the utter grind of more problems than solutions. Burden upon burden. Knowing there is a better way but not being brave enough, secure enough, confident enough enough to try.

I get you - everything is so hard at the moment and I'm tired. Just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other, is what I keep telling myself.

Thanks everyone, sorry to those suffering, having to always walk uphill is exhausting, physically and mentally depleting, I do have some support thank you PP but try not to impose or express just how hard it all is and although talking and sharing can help, ultimately it’s me who has to work through the problems x

Yes, solidarity.
I just think, “What is the point?”
I have loved one’s, so not going to do anything, but I am tired, things have been too hard for years and I reckon if I was diagnosed with something that needed life saving treatment, I’d chose death and refuse the treatment.

Can we restart this post again? I’m finding life really difficult at the mo. Struggling big time and just want some solidarity.

grandiflora1 · 11/01/2026 14:29

It would be great to hear from others

grandiflora1 · 11/01/2026 14:30

Bump

OP, I'm sorry to hear you are finding life difficult right now. Have you thought about talking to your GP? The MIND website is also good for information. I have been in a dark place and despite not wanting to take it, for me, medication was the only thing to lift me up enough to be able to take steps to feel better.

Hey grandiflora, hugs and solidarity from me.

It feels like everywhere you look, everything is only going in one direction - downhill! It's hard to find the wherewithal to be positive at the moment.
