I think I'm done.

As I lie here, tears rolling down my cheeks into my pillow, I have a really strong sense that I'm done now. I cannot take any more pain or suffering. My body and mind feel beaten and exhausted. I am so alone.

Aw! That's lovely! I'm glad you had a better day today MilkTray. Well done on making it into work. Celebrate the little achievements as they are just as important for getting through each day.

One step at a time - take care of yourself - you matter. Flowers

BonnesVacances · 21/01/2020 10:57

This is very true! You do matter. And even if you feel today that you don't matter to anyone yet, you will one day.

How was your day @MilkTray22 ? X

How was your day @MilkTray22?

MilkTray22 · 22/01/2020 21:23

Hello everyone! How nice to log on and have people asking about my day. You are all so kind and make me feel listened to. This might sound strange but it is honestly so comforting to me that there are people out there who don't even know me who are taking the time to comment on this thread and see how I am. I am doing okay! I have been to work again today and I am starting to eat normal meals again! Which is good as I had really really neglected myself. But I am telling myself that I am worth looking after x

You definitely are worth looking after xxxx

Flowers I’m glad you are taking care of yourself and feeling a little better.
Boredbumhead · 22/01/2020 21:45

Yes! Well done for eating some square meals. That's a really positive step.

Junie70 · 22/01/2020 21:50

If it is any consolation, we all have dark times in our lives.

It's easy to think that everyone else has a better and happier life than our own. But often they aren't.

Keep on keeping on. Every tiny step you take is a step forward Flowers

Glad you've started eating meals again & made it to work. Baby steps with everything & hope you start feeling better. ThanksThanks

How about a long hot bath, and a good film? Or maybe a good walk to get sine fresh air?
