Life has a way of being terrible. I'm not even talking about it in a profound way–sometimes it's just bad. No further justification. Sometimes people tend to romanticize hardships like it'll make you a better person, it'll help you this and do that–but in the end, it just feels like you'd be better of not experiencing it at all (at least, in my opinion).

This is why I won't downplay what you're feeling as "normal". I empathize with you. The situation you are in is nowhere ideal and I can only hope for things to become better on your end.

We're all strangers on this forum fighting our own individual battles–this is cliche but know you're not alone.

I was in a somewhat similar state you are in and what really helped me was finding something to live for aka my pets. I go to work and earn money to feed them. I pay the rent so that they can live in a comfortable space. I go through daily panic attacks and social anxiety to come home to them alive and healthy.

You can start small. Get a plant, talk to the plant, and share your thoughts with the plant. I could never commit to it–but for some people, journals really help.

I wish you well Sarah. Lots of hugs and love.
