I can totally relate and agree. I am almost 63, but have am young at heart. Have a life long history of illnesses which have consumed my entire physical/mental being, severe abuse, distrust, deception, no friends. I'm alone now and trying to manage the household, bills, work, etc, So overwhelming! I have a son in Pittsburg and 1 sister left in AZ. They are there for me but don't fully understand. Major depression, anxiety, OCD and phobias, Feel I'm silently going out of mind. I was in a very dark place a month ago...one that I've never known before. It was very frightening. Live or Die? So I prayed to God and my mother asking them to embrace me with their strength to pull myself out of whatever that was. Still struggling but in this moment in a better place.
I recite the serenity prayer ALL THE TIME and BREATHE.
I sympathize with you. Sending virtual hugs. God Bless.

❤️❤️Heartfelt concern coming your way! I think I know of the dark place you speak of. At least, I have my dark place, and it is very scary. I, too, use the Serenity Prayer all the time. I haven't used Private Messaging, but if you would like someone to share your darkness with who understands, I would be willing to do that. Please don't harm yourself. ❤️❤️

The serenity prayer helps me as well. I could never harm myself because my family depends upon me and it would devastate them. But it is hard dealing with pain that is unrelenting. Only people who go through it can understand how hard it is to distract yourself and just want to do anything. Thanks for your caring.
