Low

I feel so low right now. I know I fluctuate but at the minute this is really bad, even for me. I feel like my life has no purpose, that I am a useless human being, what’s the point in anything. 


I find myself having outer body experiences, looking at myself thinking there is no need for me in the entire world.

Big hug for you Book..... It reads like you're in a depression...... and that you should be seeing your doctor

Maybe a med tweak is in order?.....xo

peace to you Book, at times like these - even if it's not natural maybe go for a walk outside - or take care of a task - or reach out to someone you can greet with a "Good morning."
It might help just get you happier in the world. Peace.

I am sorry you are feeling this way. I know doing my housework makes me feel much better so I don't focus on the bad stuff that is going on right now. I feel low today too. Thanks for the post. It really makes me feel better that I am not alone.

Everyone has a purpose. Yes, I agree with SunCloud. You may be depressed. Try and think of the things you can do, and what you like to do. Maybe creative hobbies? I doubt you are useless. I think you are just a little down.

Thanks for sharing Book. At times, I feel this way too. Like what RealHeart said, it really makes me feel better that I am not alone. One thing I do, is to disassociate with people who would always rub me in the wrong way, May be going out with a good friend helps to ease your low mood ? Hope you would feel better soon.

You have a purpose, you are special, and you are meant to be here. When I feel that low I find one thing to connect to that is separate from myself: petting my dog, standing outside barefoot to feel the earth, watching the sunset. Nothing that takes much energy or thought, but somehow helps me to reconnect with the natural world around me. Prayers for strength and peace.

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
