    What a horrible two days. Last night while out I heard a certain song and done me in all night. Someone here called it triggers. Just now my phone has caved in and while fixing it a load of old photos popped up in some buried folder on the SD card, didn't even know they were there. Worst thing about everything always been backed up.

    I wish I was brave enough to do something.

    What do you feel you're not brave enough to do?

    Crap day today. Up early then back to bed. Haven't eaten since Sunday.
    Only thing i had was orange juice and some strawberries. No wonder i have no energy.
    The flu is not helping either.

    Well how about going to your gp. It's hard but it's harder not to do something about it as you spiral in your own thoughts.

    There is no quick fix but posting on a message board won't help fix the issue (will alleviate some anxiety writing it down)!

    Sorry if that seems harsh but trust me speaking from experience :)

    There is nothing to fix. I've no interest in my life anymore. I'm not saying anything to garner attention or sympathy. The simple truth is I'm just waiting for the end. I've lost everything that that mattered, can't go back. It's done.

    You find new things that matter. Your train of thought is toxic. For example, what's your dream job?

    Don't have one. Even if I did it'd never happen.

    You can't go back but you can go forward. I'm trying to sort out my mess. Drinking way too much just to feel good, but health wise and financial wise it's stupid.
    Don't do anything stupid please. Take care.

    Let time pass. Please. I have lost count, and I am nearly 80, of the number of times I have felt as you are doing. When I looked at the clock and prayed that if I just held on, in half an hour it might be better. let time pass, eat, rest, go outside and breathe the air. No one is asking more than that. Just breathe. Please. breathe.

    I've let nearly a year pass and feel just as awful now as I did last July during death month as we'll call it... time heals all wounds? Time does F all. I hate those phrases people say... it's like mate calm down... you've lost a fiver, you didn't lose your fiance how'd you know? :pac:

    So stop keeping records! Let time go on passing. Enjoy music etc . Small pleasures. I did not say that time heals wounds. No way, but we get used to coping with being wounded. No one goes through life scar-less. As nothing anyone says is any use? I hear you and we are just trying to ... to be here for you.
