Lost Trying to Exist
Hello 💚,
I was diagnosed with major clinical depression, generalized anxiety now with social anxiety for trying to relate.
Two years covid isolation living alone with a powertripping roof banger giving me at least two anxiety attacks a day and night with a bleeding stomach, stole my social abilities. That is over 1700 anxiety attacks.
Now, for two years I have been sitting in my social group unable to relate --- amazingly, for the first time in life ever. It is like being dead while alive. The pains of trying to relate when my mind cannot put forth the words and actions to make interpersonal communication are killing me. Destroying from the inside out.
I have to isolate against my will to avoid these pains.
Please take off the kidd gloves if you think please you could reply.
Best of health 🧡.

Hard and even impossible as it may seem, I believe we are all given life challenges for the ways we still 💚 need for growth, coping and maturity.

Sussam olmuyo konuşsam hiç olmuyo inanın birinin omuzuna başımı yaslasam sabaha kadar ağlarım heralde
Translation from Turkish (Google translate)
"If I keep silent, it won't work. If I talk, it won't work. Believe me, if I lean my head on someone's shoulder, I would cry until the morning."
Ps…
I forgot to mention “square breathing” that helps relieve anxiety. It helps more than that!
@xpax Difficulty can enhance growth, though few of us enjoy the process. I'm in one of those challenging times right now and it's not doing great things to my level of depression and anxiety. My wife reminds me that we'll make it through this. I'm a fixer, so I'm having a hard time living with something I don't know how to fix. Having been through some rough times, I understand that life does go on. After being in a deep dark hole for several years and having climbed out of it and stayed out, I can focus better on what life can be in time. Some of us recover from the dark places more slowly than others. May we learn those lessons in patience more easily the next time.

Hello, I am in my 3rd week of covid still waiting to improve. My thirst is like I am in the desert with sand in my throat. I am exhausted from doing nothing. I love to cook, but I get dizzy when I stand up, so I am surviving on frozen dinners. Meals on Wheels might come next week, but who knows if that will happen. I never heard of Long Covid until I got Covid. I hope my letter makes you feel a little bit better. I don't know what to do either. I have read so many sad posts here of endless agony. I can only hope we both get better. I need to take another nap now because I am so tired all the time. You may write back if you would like to. Tell me something positive as I too have found it difficult to live with.
Thank you 🙏
Bless us both. “This too shall pass” but the lord only helps those that help themselves. We can’t do this alone. The nerve damage, arthritis and joint disease are wake-up calls for me. It hurts for me to keep walking and stretching but what’s the alternative?
I’m putting on warm clothes and heading outside. I will get back to you later
benylin all-in-one works 💚 great
You are loved
