Hi everyone,
I haven’t been on for a while and once again it is when I am at my lowest. Life sucks sometimes, and sometimes I truely wonder what’s the point. But it is all just my negative self talk that makes it so bad. To all out there who are suffering, it is really hard sometimes but talking to someone and having an outlet can help.

Re: Hi everyone,
Hi @dhr53
Sounds live life has gotten pretty tough lately. Are you taking care of yourself? Eating, drinking, getting adequate rest/sleep, maintaining self-care?
These are things we often forget when we're down, but making small efforts can help a little.
It's good though that you recognise the negative self talk. Have you got a support person you can talk to about how things are?
Of course, you have us here in the forums if you want to talk about anything.

Re: Hi everyone,
I have had a few things happen. Mainly to my partner who is not well and hasn’t been for a couple of years. I feel very resentful. I do pretty much everything, domestically, financially, maintain everything, and looking after his health. So I am drinking way too much, to help me deal with all this. We are somewhat isolated, and I am so sick of travelling to do anything. He is happy being at home doing very little and I don’t know how to cope with this growing resentment.

Re: Hi everyone,
Hi @dhr53 Sorry things are tough in the partner dept.
@Sans911 has a good down to earth approach, but its still hard.
It can be good separating out the caring aspects of mood and the personal ones. So we dont lose our sense of self in the relationship.
Like @outlander I am on both sides of the forum as I care for my son and have too much Lived Experience of mental ilness... dry laugh ...
It is amazing that reaching out online does help and a wonderful community is evolving here.

Re: Hi everyone,
Life is hard...that's why I say it's like any other day - people talk about 'New Year'
and it's always in the media they go on and on but in reality life is about the same...
We are the same people with the same problems that haven't been resolved ......
I'm agoraphobic and anxiety
I hope no one asks me anything about what i 'did for New Years' or any rubbish like that when I go back to work on Friday
