Been up since before 6am...just can't sleep-have so many negative thoughts that occur in the morning. I just want to cry, but, I've spent so much time crying and I'm just unable to release my tears. I've been told i"m not my feelings or thoughts, but, what are we then? Well, I thought I wouldn't cry, but, it's too late. I feel so alone and afraid. I've already taken my medication and I just feel so broken. I believe there's an online support group happening today, if I do it, it'll be my first. I hope everyone is doing better.

I know it is said a lot; however, I know how you feel. The times when your soul just can't cry anymore, and the pain boils down to a dull hum. I also understand how it feels to be afraid and alone. I still have these fears; however, I am finding ways to overcome them. Usually I try to focus on one simple task. Something so small that I know I will succeed. At least enough for to pat myself on the back. For example, you posted how you were feeling. It is a big step, and something to pat yourself on back for doing
. Just don't give in. I hope this helps in some way. As always post how you feel, and we will do our best to help you.
Sincerely,
Mr. Q

Hi Lala, it is night time in my part of the world. My knees are giving me the what for. You see I have MS and along with MS comes everything else to many to name. But some people just don't do mornings well at all. I know that there are things that you are good at, it is just that mornings is not the best time for you to try and do them. So in the mornings just breath......get yourself together, take time for you, be totally selfish, it's ok, just breath, things will work out just fine I promise, take care of you. Have a great night. sherry/smomdukes

Sherry, thank you so much for your thoughts. I am sorry to hear you have MS. My niece also has it and my heart goes out to her as it does to you. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I just found this website and I am so grateful. I am so grateful for people like you, who reach out to others in pain to share their experience and support.
Yes, breath. Thank you for validating that. I just met someone who has gone through similar things and is doing fairly well because he does yoga and works on his breathing. So he too, suggested being conscious of breath as you did. ;) I've really been practicing breathing and learning to trust the flow of Life. I'm now realizing that I'm not alone, more importantly that others suffer too and that maybe I could somehow be helpful to them if I get support. Again, thank you for reaching out to me.
I'm in California, where are you?

Mr. Q, Thank you so much for your response.;) I woke up the same way...but you're right, I can focus on one small thing today and accomplish it. I wish I didn't have this...these thoughts... and I so grateful that people like you who reach out to others and share your experience -I need that, our community needs that. Thank you for telling me not to give in-honestly, I don't know when it's okay to cry due to some circumstance (like my boyfriend and I of 2 1/2 years broke up in May and our friendship just seems non-existent and that hurts me because I still love him and want to be friends) and when I'm just feeling depressed and should push on. Maybe either way it's good to push on. Again, thank you and I hope YOU are feeling good. ;)
