Anyone from the UK?

Meh. i don't think so. The vast majority of people live a life worth living and aren't fighting constantly. It's like walking through quicksand and I'm drowning.
That's an assumption. You have no idea what the vast majority of people are doing, thinking, or putting up with.

Just from my interactions on here, I know that more people than not, struggle mentally. To varying degrees and in different ways.

I'm not down playing how you feel. It's valid. And acknowledged. But don't make the mistake of thinking you're the only one.

Feeling like you're fighting every day is so demanding. It's no wonder you're feeling exhausted.

You're doing the right things by acknowledging it and talking about it. I know that doesn't make it easier.

Thanks.

No, I don't think I'm the only one. I know I'm not.

Na. Everyone is dealing with some sort of shit! The feeling that the grass is greener on the otherside cannot be more truer in this context
 
We're all with you, and will do what we can. Just. Keep doing what you're doing with the therapy and whatever. It WILL be OK. In the end.
I dont think it will be though. I'm just treading water and I'm gonna drown eventually... well.. not physically but metaphorically. It'll be some other way.

Nope. I believe you'll get a life line thrown to you.
And you aren't treading water. You're doing so much more than that. Be kind to yourself. If you're gonna beat yourself up, do it with a feather.

I’ve been there (what? the incredibly stable and happy Amanda you ask yourself). It can feel like there is absolutely no way you can get back to a semblance of “normality” but with the right support and medication you absolutely can - stick with it!

Really?

I think the vast majority are actually struggling in one way or another.

How we deal with our situations differs. Some people's brains make them bottle it all up until it explodes in violence. Others allow them to share (or overshare) easily.

There's no typical. There's no right. There's just what allows us to wake up the next morning and face whatever shit will be thrown at us.

Some of us have shit relationships. Some of us have no relationship and no prospect of one. Some of us have cancer. Some of us struggle to put food on the table. Some of us have police trouble.

Some of us have seemingly perfect lives, but still struggle to cope with the shit of just existing.

No one is typical. There is no normal. There is just surviving with varying degrees of happiness

Been fighting on and off since my early teens. Now 40 and worse than ever with more complex issues than ever and well... blurgh.
 
NC - just take it day by day. If that's too much, take it hour by hour. And if that's too much, take it minute by minute. You ARE winning already by still turning up to life.
I've seen the pictures of the gorgeous food you make.
Your pup adores you and is simply gorgeous.
You've got us lot here (my DMs are also always open for you).
You're a valued part of this thread (I don't really go on others so can't comment to those).
You matter.
