Can't do this alone

barncat April 4th, 2020

Find myself gravitating back to 7 cups trying to make sense of the new normal. So many life changes in the last 2 years. Wondering if I have the "strength" to wade through this biggest hurdle of global pandemic. Feels like the rug has been pulled out from under me. Looking for balance and especially Patience.

OMG, rough weekend again. Why does life have to be so hard. If I simply ignore and pretend I am not bothered by what he says to me = then I guess there would be no drama. But that is how I have lived the past 25 years and the result is a lot of resentment and anger which manifests as depression. Not a good way to live. Please give me strength to move forward in this phase of my life.

@barncat I'm sorry the weekend was so rough. It's hard to just ignore things sometimes. Especially if it's been going on for so long. Like you said - it builds up. And it builds up on the inside and you're right - it not a good way to live. My therapist says that keeping quiet all the time to keep the peace is an act of self betrayal and yeah it keeps the peace on the outside but does nothing for your inner peace. Of course we can't just go around telling everyone off either. I think maybe it's one of those pick your battles things

Heavens, I need to keep myself way more busy to get out of my head. Spending too much time trying to figure out next move, why he says what he does etc etc. It is NOT my job to be an analyist. But at the same time, I want to understand what is happening. I really cannot take on this life challenge alone. The past three years have almost always been hell. So many losses, so many disappointments. Thank heavens for my irl friends, and everyone here in 7 cups.

When I started this thread it was because of the covid pandemic. So many changes and life struggles since then. And how true - no one can get through life alone. I am blessed with the 7 cups family - were always there, and still are. And many dear friends in my real life, thank heavens. Couldn't do it without each one of you.
