I just wanted to let you all know that based on what you post here, I genuinely admire that in each one of you.
TryinToGetBy, I feel exactly the same way, esp before I joined PC and wasn't participating in discussions.

This is where I am at right now... and just wanted to send it out into the community to see if this often happens to others?
You are not alone in this. When I'm struggling, I want so very much to offer support to others but I can't find the words that I think might be helpful or I'm just overwhelmed and can't find words at all.

Thank you for posting this, TryinToGetBy.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,

in open relaxation and letting go.

Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
