I want life to end & don't know what to do. Been here?

I’ve always felt that the challenge is that we go through life very aware of our internal struggles, but only see the seemingly happy, content external appearance of most people. Maybe try to find a little bit of joy each day. Nothing dramatic, just something pleasant or uplifting.

@bbteach12 , welcome to the group. and yes life can be whatever you choose it to be . Of late i have had to change up my attitude and try to be more on the positive side of things and it is hard at 69 to just make changes all of a sudden but have a caregiver that is taking me out to do things when we have days that fit going someplace. She has this get up and change how you look at things and it will help. so far its a hit and miss kind of thinking things through b4 i cat on them. Recovering from TBI injury that was a tumor in the brain and has taken me two years to get to where i am now and can change things for the better. if you have someone with a better outlook on how things are going , maybe try to find a couple positive aspects and go with that. Have a blessed day and feel free to ask questions of me. i am still healing after a nasty brain surgery.

Hi Ginger,
I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for a long time. Even when things are the most difficult, getting out into nature for a long walk-without headphones or any distractions always brings me joy, and a reason to be thankful.

@bbteach12 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It sounds like you speak from experience. What types of little expressions of joy have you found give you the best moments?
