You are actually all quite strong. Most people don't face the difficulties you have had to face every single day. Who is stronger? The person walking through the park carrying nothing, or the person walking through the park having to carry a boulder?

Maybe not the best analogy. But you have faced more than most do and you are still you. Yes, it can be difficult, but that is also why we support each other. Because together we can help make the boulder lighter. The hope being that in time the boulder will weigh far less, or perhaps you'll be able to drop it entirely.

Aww, thank you guys, I just wanted to get across how I was thinking. Often I find an analogy easiest.

A good addition to the analogy I think from @Rosie_Scope, the boulder you are carrying is also often in a backpack, other people cannot see the weight you are carrying.

I think I've probably said this before or something similar but I honestly believe that because I have adhd that is why everything goes wrong throughout my life and it's me what needs to get a grip.

Just wished I was a better person.

I have adhd too but in my experience it's others ignorance and selfishness that is the issue not me or any of my conditions.

Good morning @Strawberry1 and @Agnia I hope you both have a good day. Take care.

Think I will call Samaritans later on today . Talk a few things through.

Strawberry1

Tried to have a nap . Mind won't switch off . Feeling so so so tired. Tried Samaritans it's ringing for too long. Feeling like a loser. I am so very very tired.

Bluebell21

Hi @Strawberry1 I am so sorry you were not able to get through to Samaritans. Perhaps keep trying. Please do not think you are a loser, you are not. Please take care of yourself.

Strawberry1

I appreciate the kindness @Bluebell21 , I hope you have had a reasonable day today. I'm too tired to talk unfortunately. I think I'm very stressed. You take care of yourself. Have a reasonable evening.

Strawberry1

I just don't know what's right and what's wrong anymore.

Bluebell21

I am sorry @Strawberry1 Please try to rest.
