Hiding from surviving

Not sure what direction this is headed. The title was just a few words I was able to grab from my racing thoughts.

I have a bunch of things I want to put down here, but I fear I have already written them here before, probably multiple times.

What is surviving anyway? Is it waking up and breathing everyday? Even though everything on the inside is a complete shambles. Pretending that everything is okay? Or is it waking up everyday with the ambition to try and thrive at something/anything/everything?

I don’t know how to describe my life other than hiding from surviving. I thought that I wanted to get better but I believe my chance in time to do that has long since passed. Hiding to me mean’s trying to hide the intense pains (mental and physical) from everyone including myself. It means hiding my true desires and thoughts from all including me.

So if surviving is only just breathing and nothing else, maybe I could be classified as surviving. Not saying that I believe that.

I am stuck with continuing to hide since my issues continue to pile up and my body is failing more and more every day. My phobias are increasing and I am losing all interest in what little is left outside my home. I’m done “fighting” for anything other than what I have. Which isn’t anything.

So hiding from surviving must be a summation of my so called life.

I can hear the dispair in your words, hugs 💙. It is so hard to keep going on in life when it feels you’re stuck and not getting anywhere. Being all the time in survival mode means a lot of stress for the body and can make us feel disconnected from ourselves, others and the things we like.

I find that trying to find pleasure in the small things in life helps to find joy again. I know this might be said much easier than done but the more I do look for good things intentionally the better life becomes.

"Waking up everyday with the ambition to try and thrive at something/anything/everything" is life to me and that ambition gives hope.
