How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Lane]

Like a loser, I tried hard to make a nice Christmas and my kids, except for my "good" son shit all over it.

I hope things get better, I'm so anxious

 

[puffymilk]

What's going on @puffymilk? Please say only if you're comfortable. I hope today is a better day

I'm too overwhelmed to tell the story but thanks so much Lane

I felt like dinner was awkward yesterday, so I kept on trying to keep conversation light like a dummy. My daughter was acting like a royal witch. I sent my other daughter a note saying something to the effect of, really wanting to see her fr the new year. I did get a generic response, but 2 pics of the baby. Its looking like she really doesn't want anything to do with me. Im mentally preparing myself.

Sorry that's the case with your daughter, but it sounds like your doing everything you can. Why was dinner awkward?

Just seen your response @Lane to why dinner was awkward - your not a loser, your a caring kind person, it's great you wanted to make good of Christmas.

I'm down to one packet of crisps, small piece of christmas cake and one ice cream lolly - may have to venture out to the local shop tomorrow for supplies.

Excited to set up my new iPad.

Lonely. Just trying to keep a low profile and keep my unhealthy needs to myself so I don’t hurt anyone.

I'm sorry you're feeling lonely. You don't have to keep anything to yourself here. I hope you'll say more about it if you'd like to.

Sending hugs if you would like hugs

I'm sorry it was like that. You're welcome to say more about what happened if you'd like to.

Like I'm needing a huge change for 2026. Clearly. Either go forward on the surface or down into the sand of the beach

Very low and depressed. All I have to keep me here is my dad. I can't harm myself because of him. When he goes I think I will follow.

Still struggling with "body shut down" mode. It is making it very difficult to do anything. i was stuck on the floor for about 20 mins till i got some help into a chair. i don't understand why the pain and weakness has hit so hard and little to no warning.

My one son was acting up and my daughter's father is afraid that anything he says, my daughter will jump all over him. Kids! how are you @Inastorm?

Sorry tohear how depressed you are @Pebble mouse. For manyyears I said that once my mother passes, I would follow. I think that's the depression talking. She did pass and I'm still here, dealing with the everyday bullshit

Thank you @Inastorm , I'll try to keep that in mind

Dreading another year.

I think it was in one of those end of the yeart great advice thingies in the news, how one thing a person could change about themselves is to consider what it'd feel like without the problems. This makes me want to snarl: shit advice like that is for people without serious problems. Anyway, I'm in one of those adrift times, I'm dealing but not very well with myself at present. I don't want to practice self-compassion for these various issues, I need to feel better.

I hope that you find that bit of something making you say I see a reason that will keep me around, I can still be there for other folks and things where I can help.

Extremely shook up. I'm physically alright but was just in a car wreck. Cop drove me home. It was the other driver's fault.
