Ever Feel Like Giving Up?

[trying2movefwd]

My T was on vacation this week. I know therapy would have likely been helpful this week, but there is this part of me that is just tired of Therapy. She's really good. I am calm with her, she's really good at making sure that I am present,mindful, and grounded before I leave. I think my depression is just getting the best of me. *sigh*

I wish one of you could teleport to my house. My friends are busy a lot lately, they have a life. If I try to have a life it gets real close to causing my death :cry: I know this sounds stupid as it's not really my thing. I want someone to cry with me. But...I can rarely ever bring myself to cry in front of anyone.

Do I ever feel like giving up? All of the time! Most especually lately! This timeframe is very difficult for me, made impossible by others, navigating it alone and my therapist was out when it all first happened and i lost it and almost gave up several times.

You know what helped me make it? People on here. Talking about it with folks on here. Theres some very strong people on here and so many that i wish could teleport to me and be friends with me. It is so very hard to do this all alone so i know that feeling.

You will make it. Dont give up on therapy. You need it, right? It does get much harder before it gets better but it does get better, i promise! And i would never of said that 6 months ago!

We're here even if we arent physically there with you! We're teleported by the internet! :hug:

I am not currently in therapy because I can no longer afford it but I do know what it is to feel all alone and feel like giving up. All I can say is, what can you do that is healthy for yourself today to make today more comfortable? I am feeling like giving up today so I blew off my chores and am watching old movies. (not that great but is whats available) Never give up, we are here for you!

 

[trying2movefwd]

Thanks. I am glad you are. I just wish I had an inperson friend that could come over. This is the next best thing though.

I wish you had a friend there today for you too! Gentle hugs (trying2moveforward)

All the time. Every week on my way to see T...I think "this is stupid, I hate him, he can't make me talk...."

The reality backhands me and I come to my senses and realize that this what I want. FIGHT! Don't back down.

For sure. Most days.

There ain't no place for me in this world. Well. Then make one.
I'm tired. Then get some sleep, or get your ass up and be tired. Your choice, chica. Ain't no one with a gun to your head. Make a decision. Get up or lay down. But this sitting here being tired is just stupid.
My everything hurts. Yep. It does. Keep moving or get fixed what you can get fixed.
I want to give up. But I'm not going to.
I need to give up. Nope. What you need is to keep moving.
I can't do this anymore. And yet, you are.
Ain't working. Then do something different.

ad naseam.

Ever feel like giving up? Often or every day.

But it's the times I /don't/ feel like giving up that count, & are the ones to multiply.

Yeah, I have given up therapy for the time being. I don't see how talking any more will help and I'm finding my own ways of dealing. I still have to go back in the future for my eating but the other stuff I think I can cope on my own. I'm not dwelling anymore and just doing things I enjoy and eating healthy, taking supplements and that's better for me. Therapy isn't for everyone. I see no point telling strangers my memories any more.
