Struggling. :(

((( Ice_Fire )))), What are you going to do for yourself today? I do hope you can go for a walk today.

I am sorry you are struggling Rose. I wish I had some advice for you. Write about it more maybe?

Have a good day. :)

Thanks. Yes Safenow, I think I shall go for a walk later on to clear my head. Therapy session was so hard and I've failed my last exam. I wish I could go to the woods and just live there, in the peace and with the earth, even if only for a little while.

I used to do that when I was having a hard time being in the world. For me, it was the only to get my peace back.

I would pack my back pack, my sleeping bag, some matches, a hatchet, a rifle and some shells (just for protection), then head to the mountains. I'd stay until I felt ready to go back. Some times, it would only take a day or two, other times I'd stay for weeks. Maybe you should think about trying it.

Life can be so darn hard at times, it makes you wonder why you even came.

My thoughts exactly!

Walking and doing things outside is always the way I help myself too. Distracting is my best way of survival. I've tried other methods like mindfulness, but it doesn't work for me. Actual physical activities like exercise, cleaning, hiking, camping...things already mentioned above all have helped me as well.

Went for a walk after I got back from therapy. It helped. I actually liked that it was raining.

I've still managed not to do anything hurtful which I'm kind of pleased about.

I'm glad I got that tattoo last year above the scars, it does make me stop and think.

Safenow, it would be amazing to just go off and live in the forest. Just doesn't seem possible.
