I am going through *a lot* of really unpleasant stuff right now, and I am feeling very fragile. I do not know what to do with myself, so I guess it'll be just existing for a while.

@fribster @samebchase thank you for reaching out. :) This will pass too at some point. · 5 months ago

@melyanna, I really hope things improve for you soon. Totally get the speck of dust thing BTW. Sometimes it is indeed comforting to look up at the night sky and feel like a very small but important part of something unimaginably large. Though we are small and fleeting, nothing in the Universe would be the same if we were not exactly where and what we are. · 5 months ago

hi.. I really hope you’ll find your way out of this soon… sincere best wishes! · 5 months ago

that sounds rough. hope you feel better soon! · 5 months ago

@ashnar thank you. Now existing is a bit painful at the moment, but I try reminding myself I am a tiny speck of dust on a tiny speck of dust in the middle (not even at the centre) of a massively old Universe. Tiny and temporary. I know it does not sound comforting to many people, but it does to me. · 5 months ago

@tinfoiler thank you. I hope the dark intrusive thoughts will get quieter once the irritant goes away (I like how you phrased it). · 5 months ago

just existing for a while sounds like a good plan.

(that comes off sounding weird, but it's not meant to. You don't owe anyone anything, so just being is all you have to.... Be.) · 5 months ago

Trust me, it gets better on the other side, even if it takes a while for it to. Once the irritant is removed, you'll begin to recover. It's okay to be feeling this way right now. I used to think I wouldn't make it to today, and here I am, 11 days past the due date.

It may go against your every instinct, your every prior and line of logic, but sometimes you have to believe in miracles. As long as you're still living, you have not reached the true bottom. · 5 months ago

@userfxnet thank you. I really appreciate your words. I wish there was an "off" switch for my feelings. · 5 months ago

@psyko thank you. And yes, finding things that fulfil me and bring me some joy is really hard right now, and difficult to explain to those around me (thankfully, it means they are well... or better anyways). · 5 months ago

I recently realised that ‘It's OK not to be well’, it's something natural that sometimes our environment is not able to understand. The best thing to do is to take time for yourself, to do things that really fulfil you (although unfortunately when you are unwell nothing fulfils you), to isolate yourself from the world to find yourself, people who appreciate you will understand your silence. And if you feel like shouting do it, there is nothing wrong with that 🙂 · 5 months ago

I hope these things that are piling up let up and ease off of you :< feeling a lot of that too these days, you got this. Stay strong, stay blessed. ☮️ · 5 months ago
