How do you tell how you're doing?

At some points I feel on top of the world.
At other times I find the idea of suicide boring & empty, yet life is not much of an alternative.

It feels like a winter night in my soul. At this point I'm numb & waiting for whatever happens at the end of whenever you get this cold.

A most difficult question. But the puzzle is the harder you try to answer it or the more pressing the need the more frustrating I find it.

So my trick is to check how physically I am and worry about the interior when later.

It doesn't really matter how I am doing - unless I know how I am doing and it is not good and so I need to talk to someone. That is my second trick, to know who to talk to if things get desperate. Find a service that is free and available 24 hours a day and put it in your phone now:)

The third trick is then to go and do things. Something that you have been putting off, something like a daily chore just anything to get moving. Walk around your home, just anything.

Good luck:)
