Re: Lost???

Hey @ToLateWhy 

I'm hearing that it's really hard to find meaning right now while everything feels like it's falling apart.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this right now, all of these things could be challenging on their own, but to go through them all at once is so challenging and must be taking a lot of strength. What's been helping you get through day to day, even if it's just something small?

I'm glad that you've been able to reach out here and share a bit, we're here for you.

Re: Lost???

Hello @ToLateWhy and @j2mhall

I completely understand this feeling and it can be so incredibly all-consuming, can't it? It sounds like you're both really wanting things to change, but you're feeling somewhat stuck in your current experience. This often comes from existing in the world from survival-mode over a long period of time (which doesn't come from nowhere), so please know you are doing your best right now with a lot of internal challenge, and I am guessing, a lot of external challenges too. You both deserve compassion, softness, and slow shifts in the direction of change. It's okay to not have everything figured out right now and it's okay for this to take time. 

I understand you are finding yourself triggered a lot right now @ToLateWhy... I am wondering if you ever notice moments that are slightly more calm? If so, what are you doing in those moments?

@j2mhall, I can really hear your overwhelm, and like @Ru-bee said, it seems like you are deeply craving a sense of meaning right now. Just knowing you want this, shows me that it's possible. Do you recall the last time you felt more connected to yourself and others?

Let's start there. 

I am looking forward to your replies. 💛
