Hi @Mno & Jenn - I am still living and still healthy but recently I have been feeling overwhelmed. I am struggling with a few big, complex projects at work, which are taking a lot of coordination and communication and it is very taxing for me, mentally and emotionally.
Honestly the last few weeks (months?) have been a struggle for me, at a few levels, both professional and personal. There are moments of satisfaction and achievement, for sure, but I am struggling with a feeling of “not wanting to do ____” - fill in the blank - just this restless, dispirited feeling of not wanting to be involved.
Ironically it’s probably exactly the opposite which is advisable. This is a time I should reach out for connection, sympathy, and support.
You are friends of mine here and I value your perceptiveness and your courage. I’m grateful you took the time to reach out here. It it like being invited back to the fire after going too far in the woods Thank you for reaching out here!
Strange how I feel much the same atm. Recognise the feeling of not wanting to be involved -in anything really. Thanks for checking in. Gives me the feeling I’m not alone too.
Not being collectively weary / fatigued from the world and all this would be a bit of a miracle I think. It feels like a huge time of transition and change and hopefully growth. Be gentle with yourself and where you are at. The not knowing place / the needing to be more within rather than without / the place of being weary…all solid places to gather our selves and strength or simply rest our weary nervous systems. It is okay to just be.
Hey Ethan!! Thank you so much for thinking of me, I’m finally getting back here and back in the swing of things. I’m sorry I didn’t get back with you sooner. Life has been crazy over here and am so glad to be back. Miss you, the music and everyone on here! Thanks for the well wishes. 300 days AF so I’m doing well in that regard. Now, let’s jam! Haha!
I JUST returned from taking a hiatus and I just read your post and this is how I’ve felt as well. Today I am 300 days AF which is HUGE, but the last few months have been very trying and difficult for me, but I have not caved, I have stayed strong to not drink.
Anyhoo, I just wanted to say welcome back to you as well. I’ve been in a funk to put it lightly, but hope to drag myself back into the light and living!
Hey @MrsOdh I haven’t seen you post in a while. Remembered earlier that last I saw you post there was that situation with the social workers. I hope that’s all been cleared up and you’re doing well! I miss seeing all of your fun outfits.
Hey sweet I’m still her unfortunately my daseise is got me chasing my own tail once again, I wonder if il ever get out of it. X this is by no means a poor me poor me message, I fight each day for it to be a better day than yesterday. I have by no means given up the fight 100%
Got some new “kicks” today and thinking of you Courtney. @Dragonflygirl82
I miss my sistah from another mother. I know you pop in every once and awhile. Love your selfies. But I just miss you on the regular.
Keep taking care of yourself and being you. You’re amazing.
