Thriving or Surviving?

Meghan Markle said that life is more than just surviving, you have to thrive, so are you surviving or thriving: physically, emotionally, mentally, in your relationships, finances etc?

I'm definitely not thriving, not even sure I'm quite as functional as to be classed as surviving but where there's life there's hope.

Same here. It’s the functionality (or lack thereof) that depresses me the most. @AntisocialTroll

@Carissimi I feel for you. It's tough but I try to remember I've made it back before so I know it's not impossible. Keep on keeping on and in time things will hopefully improve.

It’s been over a decade, and this “keep on keeping on” has become draining. I think I’m too old and too tired now. Of course, today I have to gird my loins again, and go do something that actually overwhelms me. My mind spins, and I can’t think straight when I become overwhelmed. It feels bad enough when I’m alone. When I have to deal with others, it’s almost debilitating. @AntisocialTroll

@Carissimi I can relate. I hope whatever the something is you have to do today goes easy for you.
