I am not doing so good...

Right now.

I am failing at life and I am failing at functioning in any "normal" way.

Not looking for advice just a little encouragement maybe. I feel like I am drowning and no one around me notices or cares ..but I don't have very many people around me ..my husband and kids.


I am drowning.

Update**
Thank you everyone. I believe I was on the verge of a bonafide nervous breakdown yesterday. I have never had one before ...panic attacks/ anxiety attacks, yes..but this was different. It felt as if my body could explode at any moment.

I am not sure exactly how I prevented it from actually going down...but I did and I feel better today, just exhausted. Stress and anxiety cause some serious physical exhaustion that you can't imagine until you experience it.


I appreciate all of your kind words and care. I am trying to relax as much as possible today so i can start fresh tomorrow. ❤

@JaggedLittlePill I am glad you are doing better.
@JaggedLittlePill Just take care of yourself for once; women often get lost in the mother/wife roles.

Let’s go get a coffee and sit by the lake to watch the ducks.

@HypnoChode you have no idea how amazing that would actually be.

@JaggedLittlePill It sounds quite lovely to me also. So very relaxing.

I do meditation every morning. I repeat short positive mantras, finding positive qualities or conditions for myself..."I am kind, I am loved, nature makes me happy" etc...I would love to help you find three about yourself to repeat...it has really helped pick up my spirits, as has going into nature and just enjoying it...and looking for ways every day to experience some form of pleasure (not just sexual). Hang in there. We live in very traumatic times.

You’ve got this!!! Take it one day at a time…you’re stronger than you think, Jags 🤗💜

You are struggling, but you are keeping your head above the water long enough to breathe before the next wave hits....sometimes that's the best we can do, but there will be calmer times as well. Don't stop swimming, you're a fighter and you'll figure out a way to avoid drowning! ❤️
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@DragonFruit I don't like that feeling though. I would like an extended period of not having to tread water.
JLP...Wow...so sad to hear!

Do you need people to take notice, to talk with you, meet for coffee, hear you, encourage you, give you hugs?
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@SomeMichGuy all of the above, yes.
@JaggedLittlePill Were I near you, I'd offer.

But I can often chat M-Th other ways.

Hang in there girlfriend. Big hugs

I think we all go thru it at one point in our lives…maybe more. The responsibilities get to us and we just need a break.

Hope you find that breath of fresh air that keeps you goin.

I’m drowning also and I understand how you feel. You’re a smart lady and can make quite a difference in other’s lives with your wisdom. Maybe a camping trip or just a nice hike would help??
Hang in there. You were always a ray of sun hint on EP when I first joined. Seeing your name on here always makes me a bit happier.

I'm not that deep but I don't even have That many people around me
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@RoxClymer I have isolated nyself in a place where people tend to make those who don't fit a certain class or culture feel unwelcome.

I had many friends until I didn't.
RoxClymer · 41-45, M
@JaggedLittlePill I did the same, though Life kinda chose for me, it was either live on the streets in a location I love, or live isolated with a roof over my head
