Quick one (sorry it’s gloomy). I am so spent. Living with complex PTSD, depression and anxiety is just wearing me down at the moment. I’m mentally wrecked from all the work I need to do on myself and for myself just to be able to function. I know how important it is, and I do all the stuff I need to do (meds, therapy, good diet and exercise, etc etc). I am just so drained and wish I could stop thinking so much. I wish I could just live, and “get on with it” without always being so aware of what I have to do.

Also… perimenopause… I think it’s got a hand on the steering wheel too.

This really is just a big whinge. Sorry, folks. Thanks for reading if you did, hope you are doing OK

There was a writer that wrote "Suffering is wishing things were other than what they are." I think about that a lot.

It's ok, whinging is alright, we all do it at time or another. I'm in serious shit too and too tired to care if someone I know recognize me.

Thank you, and it's ok, I've never been on very smooth sail. I'm quite used to be on rough patches, but it's getting the best of me. I try to cheer people when I can, and whine when I can't. MRW I remember what I used to think that my life would be in the future. (and honestly, the whole humanity)

Sometimes I just want to give up and make something that'd get me committed, just give up for a while, without having to keep trying. But I also know it wouldn't really feel like a break. It's just so exhausting.

It really is exhausting, isn’t it. We just need some respite at times like this.

Being committed is not the break you think it is
