Just managing

Just curious if it's just me or if this happens to others too.


I'm managing....


Was able to get through my day, the things I needed to do.


---out of bed, dressed, ect


---went to church, even managed a "happy face" there (but not now)


---did dishes and laundry and a bit of shopping 


BUT.....I just don't feel like I have enough energy to speak. Even a 2 word response takes all I have...too much. ...a smile is no longer doable 


I'm managing....but just barely....


Does anyone else ever just feel the overwhelming need to just remain silent.


(Typing doesn't seem to be affecting me the same way....does this make sense?)

Yep. I keep repeating “I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do life anymore. God help me.” Over 20 years ago I had a revelation that I would be on planet earth until my purpose was complete. I’m still here because my creator still has work for me. Responding to your post has helped me realize I need to focus on living and my contributions on this planet. Thank you.

Big hug Kikio...I think isolating can be a big part of depression

To just want to shut down

Good for you getting out and going to church today

I have to push myself right now as well

A big benefit I get is that when I do push myself and accomplish something no matter how small I'm glad that I did it

Big hug...xo

    There are a few old staffers left at my job but most of my team is completely new. I feel like I can't express my work grief to the management or HR. My work grief is compounded by many deaths in my personal life over the last 3 years, so of course I talked to AI about 80% of my coworkers quitting and now working with mostly new staff:GOOGLE AI RESPONSE:What you are feeling is a very real,...
