Did you ever experience something that gave you a complete boost, life reset and suddenly everything was right again?

I have and I need one of those moments right about now. Feel like I'm suffocating, drowning and numb. Like everyone and everything around me is sucking the life out of me.

I've had such a moment in my life before. It's like I became so bogged down that my mind finally just said "fuck it" and it was almost like a switch got turned on. I suppose it was just reaching that point of not caring anymore...felt like I had nothing to lose and there was nowhere to go but up at that point. I hope you can find the same mentality but without digging yourself any deeper.

@SW-User I feel I'm there now and it does scare me that I've reached that point of not caring about a lot of things and people.

@WhereGraceBegins I suppose you can take comfort in the fact that you know something is off. You want to feel differently. I'm no expert here but I think before you can go anywhere you have to forgive yourself...the flawed human being that you are. Then it's starting small and really just forcing it...accepting that it's going to be a fight and just getting it done. Setting some easy goals and getting a winning streak going. Have you at least made it out of bed today?

@SW-User out of bed? That's definitely not the problem. I'm up at 5:30 running around with the 3 kids and getting them off. Always busy. Not depressed in that sense.

@WhereGraceBegins Lol, was only teasing about you being non-functional

@SW-User I'm actually pretty upbeat. I hike almost daily and keep myself busy from morning til night. Just one of those phases we all go through I guess when it seems like every problem comes at you at once.

@WhereGraceBegins That's more relatable than I could explain...living through a bit of an avalanche myself here lately. Just working through what is actually within my control and doing my best to cope my way through that which is out of my hands.
