"Sometimes the why is more important than the action."
@Matan this is a place to share your struggles. If these people didn't care they wouldn't keep coming back to encourage you. These are your friends, maybe even some feel like family. They love you and want what is good for you. Please don't give up. Steps are always hard when coming out of the darkness. I did not reach out to say that my situation or some other situation was worse than yours so buck up and go. I did reach out because I understand the darkness that is cold and damp and feels like your own skin. I know about the struggles that consume your own mind and weigh your body down. I want to give you hope. Try each day to say one positive thing about yourself. You work your body hard every day, but do you work your mind? Do you encourage yourself out of bed every day with positive words?

This can be a place where you bring your burden and lay it down for others to see. We can listen and help as much as we can. I am not a therapist, but I am a nurse. I don't just assist in healing the body. Sometimes it requires healing the heart, mind, and soul of a person for their body to heal as well. We are complex creatures and all of this is connected, to neglect one part is to let the other suffer.

I am not offering a magical potion or anything like that. I am offering a friend to walk the road with you.

Hi guys! Sorry for disappearing. I felt extremely embarrassed after posting.
Thanks for all your lovely and kind messages. I really appreciate it. You really feel like a family.

I wish I could say I'm okay, but I'm not. I'm alive and very not okay. Though I wouldn't even call that living. It's a vegetation...

I do still exercise, well kind of. I do yoga everyday. Force of habit I guess.

That's basically all in terms of update. I will probably disappear again now. See you guys soon. :revolving:

You are back!!!! :gotthis:

I would like to say that a person who does not struggle can reprimand you for your difficulties and not overcome them.


The rest of us who struggle with life, our circumstances, our people in life, and our selves will be right here encouraging you to take one more step and breathe one more breath.

You are stronger than you think you are. Look at you still here. Nice to see you again

You are loved more than you know. Those who rallied around you to show you support are still here to give you support.

Our minds can be our own worst critic. They condemn us for being human, though isn't that what we are? They remind us that we are not living up to some vague expectation.

Today remind yourself that you are loved and accepted. :hug: I hope you come back very soon. We missed you!
