It doesn't matter your age. Mental health effects everyone and is the farthest from forgiving when you have additional health issues. I am in the same boat, only you've been struggling for a few more years than me 😉 I'd be happy to have a private conversation as a stranger helping another stranger in need. I've been less hopeful than I usually am and I don't want to do it anymore. Some days are fine but others I'm just fed up. Its tiring having to take care of yourself and all of these things you didn't ask for, but everyone is here for a reason and I believe I came across this post because I was supposed to reach out. We are BOTH going to get thru this. Love, always.

Hi Jennifer, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling less hopeful these days than usual. It is tiring taking care of yourself. Being a patient requires both patience and perseverance, which is challenging when dealing with things you never asked for as you said.
Like you, I believe you came across this post for a reason and I'm glad you reached out to help a stranger in need. Thank you!
What helps you get through the moments when you're feeling fed up and just don't want to do it anymore?
Yes, my days are about the same or similar to yours. The boredom is the worst. If I could be useful then the mind needs the quiet boredom. Not being productive is a big killer. The mind must be fed the mind must be useful, alert, aware. Just studying a growing morning glory wrapping its tentacle around and around a trellis. Day after day. Helping it wind about to get to the top and the glory of a bloseming flower. Miracle of miracles.

Years ago people did not live as long as they do now. Perhaps this issue has not been addressed by the professionals in charge of this. How to continue to live with the pain without the stupid pain medicines that they have now. Either they do not take the pain away or they do so much harm to the body that they are assisting you in dying. Including becoming addicted to them. Why have we not furthered our knowledge in this area? Is it because there is so much money to be made with what is now on sale? Yes, going to the moon, Mars and other planets is good. So we can pollute them as well? Our priorities must be put in their proper place. Dreamers must be guided. I am just one person in this large universe but I want to help and do what is needed to work things out for all. I and many others need guidence.
