How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I feel like I want to cry, or even need to cry. There's a lot going on, some depression, but also concern, anxiety, frustration, loneliness
I can't cry, I blame medication. The dynamics of life, the highs and lows, are being chemically suppressed
I compare it to watching a movie in full color, but when it is processed though my brain/emotions, it's all gray and blurred
I'm not great at life without medication though, and it seems like my life is not that great with it, either
I sometimes think about going completely off my meds and either rising then or falling, or both

I missed this on Sunday, and send anti-lonely hugs if they help.
and whated to say @1Lefty that I know part of what you mean, and empathize. Somewhat, that is, because I refused the medication and have to deal with terribly low lows and out of control emotions which is hard and embarassing at times, and affects other people in my life. And I can't cry either. I've frozen that part.

Humbled. Although things are shit, I've had two things happen that have just knocked me sideways. Some of the people I reached out to came back to with offers of support, one (family) in terms of just being there and saying they loved me, one (a friend) with a financial offer to help me out, which I felt really grateful for but feel awkward about accepting though it would be a massive help. It's a relatively lot of money, at the same time it's a drop in the overall ocean. I don't know what to do. I feel very moved though 😢

It feels all the more relevant as there's no work available today. I forced myself to go to bed last night when there was work available, telling myself I needed to be fresh for the morning, but the cupboard was bare. Could have stayed up and worked instead of lying awake 🤦

Did get a few hours in this afternoon and have a paid call coming up, enough for one day.

Bit sad. I cancelled my sports subscription. I used to love watching the tennis but for the last few months it just hasn't felt the same and the US Open's been on for a week and I haven't watched any of it. Saved £21 a month. It's a luxury and I can't afford luxuries at the moment. Went to shop and spent £3.20, got a free bar of chocolate on the store card as it's my birthday month 😊

I WANT TO DIE RIGHT NOW. I HAVE A WAY TO KILL MYSELF. HOWEVER, I PROMISED MY PSYCHOLOGIST THAT I WILL BE SAFE UNTIL I SEE HER AGAIN. I SEE HER AGAIN TOMORROW AT 12 O'CLOCK NOON. I WILL TELL HER WHEN I SEE HER TOMORROW I WANT TO DIE AND THAT I HAVE TO DIE. I THINK ABOUT DYING CONSTANTLY. IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THERE IS NO HOPE FOR ME. I CAN NOT LIVE WITH MYSELF ANYMORE. WHY DOES SHE NOT UNDERSTAND THAT? WHY? IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND. MY LIFE IS INTOLERABLE.
I'm so sorry you're suffering so much, but suicide isn't going to get you to a good place. Have you thought of what potentially awaits you after death if you were to do that?

I feel okay, but I also think I should die soon. I’m not sure what to make of this. I’m not planning to do anything, or at least not consciously. I’m conflicted, I guess.
Having those thoughts is okay. Acting on them isn't okay. Please fight them? You're cared about, valued, respected, & needed! *sadhug*shake

Feel like all my days are the same. At least for the most part I don't mind getting up and going to work. Even this though can get tedious and monotonous.

Since my niece left, I haven't heard how she's doing. I do get a text every so often of her dog which I appreciate. I miss her company and I'm so glad that she's recovered, is working and has a place to live as a travelling nurse.

Yesterday I felt anxious and restless. My routines are boring. But I do my best. My fiance was here for 5 days and I'm so used to being alone but it was ok to have the company. I can see the change in our relationship over the past several years. He's getting older but still has energy, which is good. Hope everyone here is as well as can be. *console
