'What do I even do?' 'I have no idea how to feel.' 'I'm not even sure what day it is.' 'I'm scared.' 'What's the point?' 'I'm just sad.' If you've said any of these things in the past few days, I want to sure you how NOT alone you are. I feel it, too. Breathe. One step at a time.💜
I spent the first two days in bed. I finally worked today. I don’t know how I feel atm. I’m just numb.
If it's any consolation, I took yesterday off and spent a lot of the day trying to focus on anything that didn't make me feel like I was going to spin out, and it was pretty hard as well. Give yourself grace if you can, please.
I know I’m not alone.😞
Honestly, my husband and I retired two years ago and I have said some of those things every day since that happened.
Probably thought each of these repeatedly, the past three days or so. I feel like I'm gonna be killed in the near, inevitable future, so what's the point in having any goals or aspirations anymore?
Friend..... we have to keep living. I'm scared, too- to be sure. But they don't get the time we do have. They don't get our best. Nobody knows what tomorrow brings. We can't control that. But what we CAN control is what we do with today. And somehow, we've got to keep going.
I feel my life is never going to truly begin before it keeps destroyed. It feels like anything I'd want to do or act upon long term will just be ruined or taken from me before I ever get the chance to savor it. I feel like nothing I do will ever matter anymore. I don't know what to do...
We protect ourselves the best we can. We keep a wary eye out. We spread the word, educate. We help our friends. And we live our lives to the fullest. Be ourselves. Be proud. And Love.
My wife and I have both said that. We are doing what we can to lean on our community and allies. I’m just glad I got out of Missouri.
Jacqueline! Hiii! I'm glad you got out of there as well, and it's so good to see you here!
I’m so glad I jumped over to this site. So much better!!
Working on breathing. Trying to get back into tarot and meditation to stay calm by focusing my mind.
