Every day. It wouldn't be fair on others for me to bring my past problems along.

@SW-User so you suffer alone 😕
SW-User
@ChloeYoung Yes, since my wife died completely :(

@SW-User i never know what to say to people when these awful things happen. if they are close all i can do is give them a cuddle
SW-User
@ChloeYoung I think that is the best thing you could do, you are really kind. it's another reason i don't talk about it to people because i don't want to make nice people feel uncomfortable.

@SW-User thank you. we can’t survive if we aren’t here for each other
SW-User
@ChloeYoung You are right about that. I like how you think. It's hard though. How do we tell others when we are going through really bad situations? Often most people just want to say hey hows things and then talk about fun stuff.

@SW-User life doesn’t always allow us to be happy all the time. when we support each other and help fix problems. there becomes more time for fun stuff
SW-User
@ChloeYoung Yeah, that's true, and then we can also hopefully move on and feel better.

@SW-User yup i always try to think of the nice things that happen during the day before i go to sleep

@ChloeYoung That's a really positive attitude to have, you must be a very happy person :)
