[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 66780, member: 2211"] Sending along some more gentle hugs - wish we were all there to rally around you and give you some great 'family' hugs. Often, this is the only place to reach out. Aside from here, please try and force yourself out of your house. Simple, small things can lift your mood. A walk near a lake or beach or the woods. Just sitting outdoors and soaking up some sun can help. Look around at the world outside of your house and see that there are things to be grateful for. Finding at least one thing to be thankful for each day, even if its something as simple as your morning coffee or the sun rising over your heads, give thanks for those things. It is difficult to see past your own misery (and I'm not trying to dismiss it). You need to try and step outside of it and do things. Go to the library, a town event, a movie. If you have a local coffee cafe or something like that, go treat yourself to a relaxing 30 minutes just enjoying a cup on the patio or reading the paper or a book alone. You can go to a place of worship - during off hours - and just sit and enjoy the serenity and peace. What were your personal interests before exh and difficult child? Try to remember things you used to do that you enjoyed or fed your soul and try to find a way to recapture that. Was it photography? Drawing, painting? Was it cycling, aerobics, yoga? Feed yourself with activities that nurture YOU and only you. Getting out there and enjoying the other parts of your life helps the unenjoyable parts of your life become more bearable. And you will likely meet other people who can become a source of pleasure and support. I'll be thinking of you and hope that you take some brave steps to improve your overall being. Hugs~ [/QUOTE]
