Overcoming???

Somewhere here I read a statement regarding looking at what we have overcome in life. I may still be breathing after all these years, but I cannot honestly say I overcame anything. Can’t even call it survival. I get more and more miserable every second I still breathe.

What is , might as well just say, fifty years of trauma and misery and wrong decisions? It is not perseverance. I’m inclined to say stupidity.

I have been to hundreds of different therapists and the last few I have seen have been a wash due to my inability to give a darn anymore. I have done so many different “exercises” and yes, some have helped (with some modifications) . Though most are of no help to me at all.

I have no desire for anything at all. I know therapy is a two way street and the path I am on is basically the width of a high wire cable, definitely a one way path. My “transmission” is broken, it is stuck in “granny” gear and no reverse.

I should stop rambling now, I am way off topic and my brain flickers are extreme right now.

Hey! I remember your posts from a few months ago. Welcome back.

It is always okay to have days where you vent and you remember what a big struggle it all is sometimes. But that frustration still does not cancel the fact that life is worth it.

I hope that things are now a bit better than when you posted. Sending lots of strength and peace.
