You Are Not Alone Circle
A world torn apart
I started this diary because I thought it may be theraputic. Recently, my whole world has been thrown into a full on roller coaster ride. My daughter institutionalized as well as her lying on me and my husband. I'm trying to look at all the positives like the fact that she admits to lying. She&he...
Hard Choices
The title of this group is so true. We aren’t alone. Yet it’s so easy to feel so deeply alone. I’m laying here. Exhausted. Tired of crying. Tired of breathing. Tired of feeling so lost, confused and alone. My mind knows the right choices. My heart aches. And the logical part of my mind says…
Surrounded by Insanity
Surrounded by craziness. That’s the simplest way to describe the people I feel stuck with so often. They will never go away. Well, I should say they won’t go away until I’m strong enough to make them. Yet, it amazes me the depths of the mental instability. So often I just sit here, silently liste...
Hello
Hi, I am new and just wanted to say hi. I written in an app diary, but I want to try on here. Maybe someone else went through what I am going through. I saw the title feeling alone and that is exactly how I feel. I will write in more detail soon. Thank you…
Introduction
I'm fairly new to this. I had one of these years ago like over 14 years ago. Writing helped me a lot in the past so, I decided to give it a try again. I think dealing with depression is difficult for everyone. I have good days and bad days. The non stop roller coaster…
Introduction
Hey everyone! It’s nice to see I’m not the only person using this as possible therapy haha. Just wanted to let anyone know that if they need to or want to talk to someone I’m more than glad to help, hopefully the same kindness comes back around.😊 i myself am in the same head space…
Respite Care, Back to Reality
Kids are good for the soul. They truly are. Damaged, broken kids are even better. I 100% believe this. No matter how bad I’m feeling. How rough it’s going. They give me purpose, drive, motivation. They fill these awful holes in my heart. They soothe the constant anxiety I feel lately. They occupy...
Another Day, Another Ramble
I’m tired but have more cleaning to do. So I’m smoking a cigarette instead. Makes sense. I spoke to Jessie a therapist I happen to really love and do a lot of work with briefly after my last post. I’d previously asked if seeing me was a conflict. Living in a rural area makes everything…
Thoughts of Death – lets just volunteer.
Life. It’s short. It’s wild. It’s crazy. Then it’s over. Just like that. If I’ve learned nothing it’s this. You never know when it’ll end. When one day it’ll just be finished. Yet, it’s only finished for you. So many others continue to breathe. Continue in the world that never stops spinning. I c...
A Sunday Full of Tears
Maybe Sundays should be called - Bawling hysterically Sunday’s until a full blown panic attack is in progress. Fitting name for them. It’s Sunday. I hate Sundays. Hate them. We are now reaching 10 months since Kira was murdered. Sunday morning she had no idea 12 hours later she’d be dead. 3 1/2 m...
