Re: I haven't got the will to live
Hi @EgaleWhale
I totally understand not having the will to live. I have been in that place often, especially the last two days.
Please know that we are here for you if you need to chat or just sit. I make a great cuppa! Would you like to join me for one?

Re: I haven't got the will to live
That is a very difficult position to be in @EgaleWhale and have been there many times myself before. On those days it really is about connecting with people - just as you have already done here and that is a very courageous thing to do. It also says to me that by reaching out there is a small (maybe extremely small) part of you that wants support at this time and need people around to help you walk through today. That is not to say those thoughts or feelings will go away but hopefully knowing there are people with you, listening and sitting with you will help a little. When I felt that way it was those people that continued to support me, encourage me. listen and generally just be there that made all the difference - it did not happen overnight though but the patience and support from so many members, mods and the community managers here helped me to both hang on and find the support I needed. It is a horrible position to be in but we can only take it a moment at a time, find some things that bring us a little joy and get through the best we can. Hugs and hugs @EgaleWhale

Re: I haven't got the will to live
In such situations, sometimes I use an impossible happy thought. Something that could never be done but what be the most stupendous, good-time, life-affirming thing.
That (or they) can keep you going while you get yourself more ready for the possible ones (in the world of probabilities). And, it helps remind, what really makes you desire, to want, to live (and how to live best (for you)).

Re: I haven't got the will to live
Thank you for your reply. I woke up & I'm thinking about impossible happy thoughts & possibilities in my day & what is possible.
