Hurting

Life has been exceptionally painful lately.

No drink, and not planning on any.

Just feeling sad and lonely.. wanted to reach out to someone even if its just virtually.

(((newhope01)))). I am sorry that you are hurting. You never have to be lonely; I am here for you; SR is here for you. Yes, we are virtual but behind the virtuality, there IS reality and we care.

Are you able to do something nice for yourself today, even something as simple as a soothing warm bath?

newhope, is there anything we can do? Can you get out of the house for a walk or go to the library or coffee shop? Sometimes I just have to go out and be around other humans. You could go to the mall/shops and watch people. That's always interesting.

Thank you everyone for all your kindness and virtual hugs.

Right now I am at work and have made a point to make sure that every person I come in contact with is greeted with the utmost compassion and kindness. If I can change someone's day for the better, than today would have been a good day.

As for what is causing me stress, I am putting it on ignore for the moment. I just can't take it anymore.. at least for the moment.

I know it may sound lame and bit unhealthy, but right now, this is the only the place I can go for support. Feeling taken adavantage of and unappreciated. Seems like I can't do anything right.

Time for some green tea.

Virtual hugs from me to you.

I've been in the place where I feel like I can't do anything right and it stinks. Sometimes what works for me is to sit back in my chair, straighten my shoulders, close my eyes, take deep rhythmic breaths and smile to myself. Not a big toothy smile. A closed mouth smile that relaxes my face.
