Trying To Put One Foot In Front Of The Other.....

[squireparty]

I have had a rough couple of days and I find myself just trying to put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. I'm not sure what has triggered this but I have been wanting to just disconnect and hide and not deal with anything the past few days. I have had obligations to fulfill and I really had to push myself but I did get done what I had to get done.

I'm just hoping this passes and things look a little brighter once again. I am grateful though to have this forum to post this on as I'm sure many here can relate to this.

My mantra the past few days has been "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming."

That there is amazing, despite feeling like you wanted to hide you managed to keep going and fulfill everything you needed to do.

It's hard but this phase will past. Are you currently in therapy?

Hi Squireparty,

That is a great mantra!

Be proud of yourself for not checking out and for moving forward. You really stepped up to the challenge.

Things will look brighter again as they do come around. I call what you did "fake it until you make it". Sometimes making ourselves go through the motions of living help the cycles to not be as deep or last as long.

Hope today is brighter.

Wow SquireParty! That is awesome. Not that you are wading through some thick mud, but that you are trying to press on and keep swimming. Right now I'm trying to do the same thing and I realize how difficult it can be. I'll have to think of you and your mantra and hopefully I can keep swimming too!

Thanks everyone! It seems as if I am going through a dark period right now but I am just putting one foot in front of the other.

To MagiLisu - no I am not in therapy at the moment. I don't have insurance but am thinking I can at least start therapy by going down to Mexico. I live about three and a half hours from a Mexican border town that as of yet has not had a cartel presence - or if it is there, it is very subdued and quiet and without the gore we so often hear of in Mexico. Many doctors and dentists are in this town, and I know there is English speaking therapy available. At least it would be an affordable start.

And to Britt.f7, here's a wish that you an keep swimming too.

right now but I am just putting one foot in front of the other.

At times that is all we can do, and baby steps at that.

I agree with what everyone said. I find that there are times when I am trudging through my days. But at least we are going forward in spite of everything. I wish you good luck.
