Really feeling it this year...could use some encouragement

OriginalirishOriginalirish
in General

I don't usually look for this sort of thing, but, per my therapist, I'm trying to be more proactive about self-care
and being open/communicative. This year is a difficult one for me and, honestly, I feel super lonely.
I know I'm not the only one, and there are others out there hurting too...but I could really use some kind words today.
Love ya'll, and happy Holidays 🎁

    Oddly enough, the worst events in my life always seem to happen in even-numbered years. So I agree, 2022 has been a rough one. Hold tight, it's almost done, and maybe next year will be a better one for us all.

    Take one step at a time regardless how long the journey is one step for 30days is better than none taken at all. Pace yourself and allow yourself to feel

    I don't know your specific situation, but as I have battled depression for years, I've learned some things.
    1 Spend some time outside every day. I know it's cold as Dickens, but sunlight is a natural mood booster.
    2 Be around people. Even if you feel alone, it's a little better than feeling alone when you literally are.
    3 Engage in a hobby. It's more than ok to try to distract yourself from pain and loneliness.
    4 No matter how depressed you get. Force yourself to continue good hygiene and self care. Letting that go just makes you feel worse.
    Hope this helps. If you want to talk, message me. 🙂
