in All Encompassing Trip
How is everyone doing? I've had some pretty tough times lately with whatever bullsh*t happens in life. 

"We will get by. We will survive."

How's everyone?? Maybe say a word here and know that it will be okay. You have a community of support to back you. No political threads please. Purely emotional support.

    I'm good. Always tune into music and tune out everything else.
    The best thing a friend told me is life is unfair and sucks sometimes.
    Can't go over or under it. Have to go through it.
    Some dumb sh.t like that. :) :(

    It's all ok

    Solid advice there. You just have to push through it. And music makes everything better. ❤️

    Meh 100% counts!!! I'm an avid listener on Calm.com. The meditations, travel and sleep stories help me through the dark times. They have a meditation dedicated to feeling "Meh". It's totally fine to feel "Meh".

    Pretty sure ev said that at fenway once. It's also from a kids book "going on a bear hunt". my dad told me "I don't have an original thought in my head".

    Not easy and that needs to be ok I guess. ❤️

    Ha! I thought I remembered that saying from a book I used to read my daughter. It's true and thanks for that. I'm really going through it right now. I need all the sayings, positive vibes, children's morals, etc I can get. Original thoughts are far and few anyway.  All good lol!! Thanks for your words. And just a reminder that it's okay not to be okay...

    Also, a wise woman told me, the best advice is no advice. 
    Sorry you are down in the dumps. Read something too that without the crown of thorns there would be no Easter. Could have been a fortune cookie. :/


    F it all sometimes ❤️ 
  • hauntingfamiliarhauntingfamiliar Wilmington, NC Posts: 10,315
    F*ck it all for sure... sometimes. 

    Yes the wise women knew that sometimes you just need to lend an ear.

    I'll be okay. I didn't mean to turn this around on me. 

    How is everyone feeling? We All need a little support every now and then. 
  • LoujoeLoujoe Posts: 11,600
    Heck. At the moment I feel pretty good. Spent quality time with people I love. Special and try not to take it for granted. Enough about me! 
    Nice thread

    Hey man hang in there.  Know there are people out there that care about you and want and need you here.  That goes for everyone in this thread. 

    Myself going through a health issue the last few weeks that’s been not great and really inconvenient.  But while it has sucked it’s not anything that is Life threatening or anything that should cause any long term severe issues.  So I take solace in that.  Had caused me to miss two weeks of work and to cancel a beach vacation which has bummed me out. Trying to stay positive 

    When I’m down I like to get outside and take a nice long walk listening to music and my thoughts.

    I have been in better places at the moment. But it's not complicated. No matter what life throws you. Just try to stay positive. Appreciate what you have. No matter your situation.

    I’m def down emotionally but it’s more about me feeling terrible with what’s happening to my fellow immigrants! All I can do is seek them out so I can help them by doing them favors, like going to the store for them believe it they are afraid to venture out.

    Hang in there my man. There are many things going on in our country right now that can bring you down. If anything, those situations should help you recognize how blessed you are. You worked for it! 
  • hauntingfamiliarhauntingfamiliar Wilmington, NC Posts: 10,315
     Yes, I agree that getting out into nature and walking is one of the best ways to unwind and let your mind relax.  Sending good thoughts and vibes to everyone here and hoping you have a good start to your week. ✌️💜✨️

    I'm actually doing great, and it's occasionally tough to deal with.

    Got through a heart attack in January, clean bill of health a couple of weeks ago. Healthier than I've been in a very long time.

    Gave my notice to my boss yesterday. Leaving a stressful job, that didn't have a future, for a great opportunity at an old employer.

    So things are trending up, but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I can't help it. I've always been that way. Is the light at the end of the tunnel a freight train?

    I'm happy that things are going well, and I know that's what I need to focus on. And I wish I could bottle the positivity and send it to any of you, or anyone else, that needs it.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    So happy to hear ☺️ 🙌 about your clean bill of health. Health problems are scary. Especially when we've managed to live all these years without too many. Leaving a stressful job is probably the very best thing you could do to help your mental health which directly feeds your physical health. That's awesome! Best wishes and hippie vibes ;)   (((((()))))))) ✨️ ❤️ 💕 🙏 to you.

    Can we do a Phish version too?  Mike Gordon gets all nasally and cool sounding on the 2 minute, 22 seconds mark. Hopefully this posts. I can't ever seem to post links anymore.
