SAD

Gloomy and cold today.

Watched a movie tonight. It was one I didn't know anything about until I was already involved in it and it turned out to be really sad. Probably should avoid those types in the future because now I'm really sad myself. Sad and tired and weary with the facts of my life. Have to keep on keeping on because my son Greg needs me here to support and care for him. He can't take care of himself and I'm not sure if anyone else would care for him properly. So I just keep going one day after the next.

I hear you :(
It takes effort just to exist but it is never wasted energy :)
I try to also avoid watching the news and even though I love music, a sad song can sometimes pull darkness closer than we want.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. But maybe someday life will be better and you'll be glad that you had to stick around for your son. And yeah, watching sad movies or TV shows is not a good idea right now. I also agree with the comment about sad songs. When I am REALLY down, I try to only watch comedies and feel-good movies, and listen to upbeat songs. It does help, a little.

Hope things get better for you soon.

I've learned that if I end up watching a movie that makes me sad or feel bad, that I need to follow with a funny movie to get my spirits back up. It's really hard to watch those sad movies when we aren't feeling great ourselves. Hugs GB

Know how you feel. Mainly I try to avoid sad movies and anything drama. No scary movies either. Just comedies or sitcoms. Life can be demanding and difficult and silly/funny movies and shows make it more tolerable.
