Keep writing it out.

One thing to try is to turn your attention outward. Focus on others, or on the world around you. I have found that turning my attention to others and trying to generate compassion for the people around me can stop me from dwelling on how I am feeling.

I also try to write out a short gratitude list each day. Just 3 things that I am grateful for... Sometimes that helps me shift my focus to what I do have or what I do feel good about.

I hope you're able to find some peace today.

thank you both. its just that sometimes...I feel like doing these things aren't enough...:(

I listen to myself, my mind, my body. I try to give all of these things what they need. If i need to slow down for the day I do that. If I need to lay down for a while I do that. If I need to try and pick myself up then I try and do some of what makes me happy like watch a favorite tv show. I’m always looking for new ones they help pick me up. Maybe because I’m focusing on someone else’s world … and not so much on mine. I give myself the opportunity to give myself a break from what’s causing despair and try and deal with what’s causing it a little bit at a time. A day at a time. A minute at a time. I’m learning not to push push push those thoughts or actions. When I do I eventually end up overwhelmed because I’m pushing way too much. I hope this helps. Take things slow if you need to. And look for light, even if it’s a tiny bit at a time. I bet you can find something positive to live for and be grateful for.

can you focus on what you have? are you grateful for anything?
