Isolation and depression: Scared of the coming winter

I do find some days worse then others. I also have a rare muscle disease that makes it hard to move. I have to keep moving or it hurts to get up, then I have to start all over again to make then move. If I do too much then I can’t move. So I am struggling with this along with OCD, Germaphobic, panic attacks and anxiety. I am not lying when I say I know what your going through (I know you didn’t say that but sometimes people say it and they really don’t have any idea what the person is going through). I have learned that Life is short and I need to be able to function. I say things to myself to keep me going like... Kim your ok, Kim you can do this, Kim don’t be a wimp there are people worse then me. So these and others sayings I say when days are tough. I hope you can find your strength whether it be sayings, writing, or doing it just for you💕. I don’t know if any of this makes sense but hope you at least know you are not alone and that you are Strong 💪🏻💪🏻. Hang in there we are here for you.

@kimcvi @jamsie @marjou @artscaping Each of us has our own version of "oh, my goodness this is terrible". It may or may not be the same as our partner, or friend, neighbor, other family members. No one walks in our shoes/moccasins except us. We can have similar life situations but there is still the emotional/social/economic/mental differences that make us unique.
It is my thought that we come here to support each other, to cheer each other on, to offer a shoulder to lean on, an ear to vent to, an example of what worked for us. Never be afraid to share, for you never know who might be reading your words and realizing there is hope, or someone else who can relate to your situation. We have to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, do the hard work [whatever that means for each of us] and make the best of what we have in front of us. Will it always work, no, but we won't be able to say we didn't try.
Here's to each of us, our struggles, and our victories!
