Hope you have a great few days off - so you have anything planned?

Hi! I am not planning to respond to my ex at all. His text was sent after 11pm and seemed so random.
I had this Monday off and I packed a full day of errands and so I left home around 10am and returned home at 10pm. My next day off is a friday later in the month and I haven’t planned anything but it may include unpacking summer clothing!

Still struggling though.
Anyway, I just took some meds and watching some youtube video of someone’s vacation trip /review, and it was entertaining and relaxing- until my screen popped a message from my ex fiancé.
I last saw him in Feb, and last heard from him 2 months ago after he sent a text saying he can’t see me anymore. That was all he wrote and I didn’t bother to reply. Now tonight out of the blue he texts me to ask how I have been. I don’t want to reply. He had responsibilities and chose to abandon me instead of upholding to try to fix problems he caused to my life. Things are not the greatest for me but past couple days have had some ups- he doesn’t deserve the piece of mind to know that I am managing at the moment despite everything.

I'm struggling too, panda. I cried to Jennifer on the phone today. She is one of the few I feel comfortable sharing my weaknesses with.

Lisa,
I hope tomorrow is a better day! I’m glad your Jennifer is a comfort.
Guess what- I’m watching The Accountant.
It’s good- I’m 40 minutes in.

Bad, bad day today. I fell apart.
Felt so incredibly worthless. A total failure.

Lisa, I am sorry you are going through a rough time.
You are not a failure, but I have some days where I feel badly about my life, regrets about past decisions, bitterness over things I had no control over, and just a sense of hopelessness. I feel for you and wish you peace and better days.

Hey all, is it okay if I jump in? I'm new to the forum, very much not new to depression and anxiety. Its a unique kind of hurdle when our own minds turn against us... I need to wage a war with my brain to accomplish so many seemingly simple things and nutrition and fitness have not been at the top of my list. But I know they need to be, because my physical health is intricately tied to my mental health and I can't ignore either of them any longer if I want to stop feeling to awful all the time.

Probably for the best! After 11 I'd wonder if it was a drunk text... Hope you manage to unpack your summer clothes soon! It's great when you find lovely clothes you forgot you had

I just...there are things I have done....do...
I blame myself for not being able to work a full time job. It always affects my current financial situation.

I've done so many things wrong. It's amazing I didn't totally screw Jennifer up.
I forget she's my daughter and not my friend. I need to find another outlet/s.

I'm fuzzy-headed today. I'm tired.
I have a knee appointment at 3:40 pm. I'm about to take off for that.
I just wanted to tell you my therapist called me and we talked. I'm calmer but I feel like a zombie.
I see her tomorrow.

I hope the knee appointment went well. That’s good about the therapist.
Rest well tonight
