In time I hope to find my way through this tunnel of fear. I need to feel, and breathe. I need to concentrate on all that is good in life..even if the life does not seem to be my own. Despair has a way of making a deep whole deeper, and I can feel my nails scraping the side as i try to climb out.
My world is black...I need color...I need life. Is anyone else in this spot? What colors would you suggest? Why?
Oh, is black the color of death?

I'd recommend starting with a soft green. Comforting and healing.

Black is the color of death in Europe. But, ironically, most everywhere else considers it the color of potential. Like the richest earth.

I am right where you are at the moment. I think it is just that the light has gone out, and we have to find a new source of light. So to speak.

I am insane in my own way. I keep to myself most days. Thanks for the colors that were suggested....I just am not sure what I would like to feel at the moment.

for me, black is emptiness, a beginning, a place to start, a place to fill.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
