Hey everyone, its been a year since I’ve been here. I’m back, more tired than I’ve ever been. Barely sleeping, although I lie in bed for hours and hours trying to drift off. Reading through all of your posts. You’re all phenomenal people, and thank you to all those who have so much compassion for others.
Worried for my friend who is suicidal and burdened by multiple mental illnesses. As for myself, I’m at a low point but I need to be there for certain people in my life.
Stay strong and take care, we’re here for you.

Days like today I get so tired, I wonder if this body is finally giving out. Nope, the painbot keeps chugging. Aww shucks featherling, I’m new to this whole gig, but on behalf of all my sleeping helpers we certainly appreciate your kind words. I feel very troubled for your friend; multiple mental illnesses compounded with the sheer craziness of this world is a recipe for disaster. Your continued sacrifice is commendable. I hope those people who count on you, one day come to appreciate it as much as we do. We can all only hope to become the greatest expression of love for those who depend on us.
Thank you for your words, they’re heartwarming in the best way and I really appreciate you taking your time to leave a reply. Yeah sometimes I wish my body would give out on me. There’s a real chance of that happening too, because I’m just as messed up physically as I am mentally. But I’m holding on here and I hope you’ll do the same 🙂
I’m in a similar state. I’m trying to numb myself out so I can take care of one person in my left who is in a real storm. I keep fighting. It’s what I do.
I wonder sometimes if what we do really helps the people who we worry about so much. My friend shows very little response to anything l, and I fear they’re too far gone for me to do anything. I agree though, keep fighting. There’s not much else we can do.
