I'm so sorry you're having a hard time right now. Regardless of the reason why (not that there even needs to be one) struggling with those feelings is a heavy burden to bear and doing so doesn't mean you're ungrateful. Feeling isolated can be really scary when you're in a dark place, but as Humboldt said, you're not alone. Reaching out to this community is something good that you've done for yourself!

Something that was recommended to me for therapy is writing down concerns or thoughts as you have them, so that once you're there you're not on the spot and you can focus on what you were feeling that you need help with even if you're no longer in that state of mind. That way you can have the tools to deal with it if it happens again. For you maybe specifically addressing those assumptions might help.

Also doing little things for yourself, even if they seem pointless, or you have to break them up into small steps, like cracking open a window, or putting on music you like, can be helpful sometimes. Ultimately different things work for different people, so your mileage may vary, but I wish you the best and hope that things improve for you soon!

I'm so sorry that you're having such a rough time. You've been getting some good advice, but I'm not sure I have any answers myself. Perhaps you can find some way to reach out to another person who needs some kind of help. That is something that makes me feel better about myself.

Here are some cyber hugs to let you know that I'm thinking about you. You're certainly a valued member of this community.

Hmmmm. This post was made by SandyCreekAcres. I appear to be in my daughter's account here on the forum!! I did log her out when I started playing today. I just checked and I did indeed create horses as myself. I seem to have shifted from my account to hers when I came to the forum. That doesn't usually happen.

I want to echo annismyrph and say that it helps me, and it might not help you, but it helps me to clean my space, reorganize, shift furniture, just do something that has a tangible effect on my space. This often helps kick me out of the rut I'm in, often it's just going through my jewelry box or even scooping the cat boxes. Just little things that help me feel control again in my space.

Do you have a hobby you like to do? Like knitting or collecting rocks or reading books? Completing a project is very fulfilling, even if you don't know many or any crafts you can go on youtube and learn. Maybe you need a new creative obsession? :)

I’ve struggled with mental health since I was 9; I’m 30 now. Been on meds just as long. Therapy can help but medication management has changed my life. If you ever need to talk, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I know what it’s like because I’ve been there. *hugs*

nice it's really good to get away sometimes
