Re: Trying to be happy, isn’t working
Dear @Shaz51 @outlander @TAB @Anastasia @Emelia8 ,
This is just a general post. I struggle to be here everyday. This last week has been particularly heavy and hard. I am not sure how long I can continue feeling like this life should not be so difficult and sad. My depression seem s to be taking me over completely. I have no people left in my life. I value nothing . I do t know how to move. On from this state .
Peri

Dear @Peri ,
I'm sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
Many have been in a similar situation to you. You are not alone in this.
If you feel unsafe in any way, please reach out to crisis services:
Lifeline: 13 11 14
Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467
If in immediate danger: 000
You deserve to feel connection and belonging.
Take Care,
tyme

Re: Trying to be happy, isn’t working
Dear @Peri
I know what you mean 😔🌷🌻
I wish I had an answer or a solution to what you describe.
Sadly I dont. But you do have my understanding and you also have my genuine desire and hope for a better future. I'm sure it will come, its just a matter of time.
In the meatime - stay patient, stay hopeful, keep doing things you enjoy, keep busy, treat yourself, surround yourself with loved ones, begin something new, eat well, walk the dog/s, get adequate sleep. All the silly stuff we all know we are meant to do, but often dont. Sending lotsa love.
Emelia 🌷
