Thinking Of All Of Us

[Snowflake]

I am reading a lot of posts about depression and hopelessness tonight.I want to respond to everyone because I care about all of you-but I can't because I hate myself so much tonight as well. How can I help all of you when I can't even help myself??? I am soooooo sorry some of you are struggling severely. I hear you, and I inderstand!!!! But I am struggling too. Life sucks, PTSD sucks, depression sucks, loneliness sucks. I wish I could wave a wand and take it all away, I wish someone could, but no one can. Anyhow, I know I am not an important person here. I know I don't post often nor respond a lot, but I am someone who is struggling too - I am just having a hard time expressing it.

Anyhow-I am hoping all of us get through the night or day safely. I know I am not alone right now, feeling crappy, depressed and/or suicidal.

Thanks for listening

You are as important as anyone else. And the caring comes through in your post. Sometimes that's the best anyone can do... not know how to fix it, but just be there and understand.

Some may roll their eyes at this, but someone told me recently about a planetary alignment that is making a lot of people go off the deep end. It's supposed to be getting better soon. I'm not holding my breath, but just grasping at straws that there might be a transient reason for some of this.

Same thing I was going to say, you ARE important here !!! The one gift you gave us all is letting us know we are not alone tonight... that is what I need to hear. I need to know I am not the only one is a state of mind that keeps us stuck... so maybe, just maybe, we can get 'un stuck' together... stranger things have happened !!!
@sun seeker, I'm not rolling my eyes... I hope things get lined up soon as things are getting exhausting.

I am going to light a candle for all of us who are struggling tonight.

Snowflake, I'm glad you know you are not alone. I'm there a lot, too. Let us follow Sun Seeker's example and observe lighted candles, real or imagined. It doesn't matter. What matters is if we can see the flame. And if we can see a flame, we can be in fellowship with each other. We can be there for each other. And when we post about feeling lost, another one of us will respond and help to bring us back. That is what we are here for.

Snowflake, I am glad you are not feeling alone, and you are never alone here. I don't think it matters if you don't post or respond a lot, it is good to know that you are here. Most importantly, you are as important as anyone and everyone here. You matter! I know how hard it can be to reach out when feeling so crappy. I am glad that you shared this. I have trouble remembering everyone here and what they have shared (history/life scripts), but I have been here a few yrs and do remember several regular posters and feel close to some due to frequency.

You are never expected to do anything to help everyone else. I am more concerned that you say you hate yourself tonight. Please share more only if you feel up to it. I know how many on here care about others and we are here for others but can't fix anything but have an open heart and listening ears. Gently hugs to you.
