"Do you ever? Or do you ever just randomly come over with waves of this sort of dissatisfaction with almost everything? Like you know how lucky you are to have what you have but can’t seem to feel happy? I’m not gonna lie, I get that sometimes. " I think feelings of nihilism are natural. Sometimes it's easy to feel a kind of 'whats the point' even when everything seems A ok And there's nothing wrong with having a cry if it's a way to get over something. I rarely do, but when my rescue dog died I cried like a twat, even though he was a palliative care case when I took him on | |||

"I’m lucky that I’m pretty resilient, I can let most things wash over me. And if something is destructive in my life I tend to move on from it. I’ve done that with jobs I don’t like and even when I’m bored of Fab! I appreciate though that not everyone is able to do that, and it’s tough. I absolutely understand the importance of looking after your mental health and making sure you open up about problems and don’t bottle them up, and what I’m about to say might sound cold and uncaring, but I do get the impression that these days people aren’t really built with much resilience and buckle at the slightest setback. I’m not sure our education system these days is properly preparing our youngsters for the harsh realities of life that they will encounter when they get out into the real world. I *know* that’s going to make me sound properly gammony, and that’s not my intention. Whatever you do don’t let things bottle up and be destructive and make sure you share your issues! I’m lucky that I have a good support network around me, again not everyone will be so lucky in that respect. " Basically, Dan, what I’m reading is, you’re built different Don’t worry you’re not a gammon, you’re just you. | |||

" I think there's a super tiny line between providing systemic support for people's mental health, and then just going overboard and not building that resilience as you say - Xeno | |||

"Do you ever? Or do you ever just randomly come over with waves of this sort of dissatisfaction with almost everything? Like you know how lucky you are to have what you have but can’t seem to feel happy? I’m not gonna lie, I get that sometimes. " No but I've felt and am actually alone..no one in this country except me only two UK numbers in my phone and nearest person who'd stop everything to just give me a hug us 5000 miles away. So I understand TRUE loneliness. I do t dwell on it. I chose this path so I just focus on things I can change or make better. It's hard but choosing what we spend or waste thoughts on is part of life and may not always be blissful living... | |||

And I hope you have people that try to understand it and you! | |||

" That’s sure to be the case with some, which is why I stressed the importance of not bottling feelings and seeking help and support. Sorry to hear about your situation and I hope you are doing well now xxx I was talking about those people (and I see it in my own family sometimes) that (for example) can’t comprehend not getting their own way all the time, or if someone challenges their views or opinions or politics etc. Whilst there may indeed be a more complex backstory to some of them, in many cases I genuinely do think it’s because they’ve simply never been told ‘no’.

"I'm very lucky with what I have, but I've realised that will never be a cure for my mental health. I'm just happy for the good moments and love I am blessed to have. I feel guilty sometimes for feeling so low when I'm surrounded by so much good and beautiful souls. I'm rambling here. Does that even make sense? It's just what I wanted to say when I read your post. Sending you a virtual hug. And better days. " You always make perfect sense to me weirdly. Even when you’re talking about butt stuff. | |||

"I find it really difficult to cry. My AD's have blocked that ability to release emotion through tears and it's frustrating as hell. " My AD's? what are those may I ask? For me, I tend to get to a point where I so badly want to cry and curl up in a ball that I just have a little weep and a shouty session with myself. And if anyone p##ses me off, whilst I am feeling like that then I tend to, not so much lash out at them but say something to upset them just because. | |||

I have people...they are called professionals. lol! Everyone else spazes out at me spazing out. I radically accept it. | |||
