Heartache

Does anyone ever have the kind of depression where it feels like your heart is actually breaking? I don't know if it happens just when I'm upset about actual heartbreaking things or if it's all my issues, I've never really paid attention. But I'm hurting so bad right now that it feels like my heart is literally about to shatter into a million pieces.

Sure! And how I deal with it is give myself plenty of sleep...and then exercise. It helps mend, heal and make strong again the broken heart.

I just wish there were some sort of pain reliever for it. Ibuprofen for the heart. Nothing seems to ease it. I can't even find temporary relief, I don't do drugs, alcohol just makes it worse, I have no energy to exercise. So I cry, which doesn't help either. It's a very hopeless feeling.

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
