What to do about our fragile existence #depressionmanagement

Watching this from a position of rock bottom, having lost everything with nothing else left to lose, this one hit hard. I can't thank you enough for recognising & acknowledging that for some of us this unfortunately is our reality & trying to accept that & rebuild from it can feel like an impossible task 💖

Been there, done that..and your right...felt like I worked my ass off for 50 years to end up with nothing, like it was a total waste of a lifetime.

I actually seprate people in two groups, the ones who have already experienced this and the ones who haven't. It IS different. Our view of life is different, our happiness is different and our sad is different, our choices and ways to live live are different. And I dont care if its selfish but I do think that us who have experienced it are more sane and grounded.

Still there and refuse to build until the waiting dismantlers have moved on.

My Polish father had this philosophy after the horrors of WWII, he appreciated what he had and was not in the least materialistic ❤

I'm going through this now. Been getting my soul and ass kicked for 4 years now. Life can be so slippery. I'm trying to rebuild but it's so tough. Take care of yourself. Keep savings somehow.
Think ahead.
Nothing is guaranteed.
Neither is anyone in your life. We all die.

I can barely get out of bed, BUT- 3 children and 4 grandchildren. 🙌

[paulabhatt]

Life itself is more valuable than anything one could ever gain in life 🙏💚

You definitely feel different, if You're still here on the other side of it. After one loses everything one ever cared about, nothing seems scary anymore. It definitely feels different.

Without eschewing a responsible degree of personal accountability, I have been recovering from this the past year and a half. Your videos help

I was my daughter’s carer for her entire life, when she died I experienced this. She was my everything and when her last breath faded I had nothing. I lost my child, my best friend, soul of my soul. I lost all human interaction because everyone I saw each week were nurses, therapists, and doctors and they were suddenly no longer needed. I lost my income, which was my government carers allowance, and my job, which was 24/7 medical care for my daughter. Nothing was left. I stopped eating. Finding anything to celebrate is hard, some days impossible. So i plant trees and feed birds in her honour. Those things will die too but they are all I have. It’s a relief that most people will never have to experience that darkness.

Bless you. Your words are genuinely a blessing to me!

That's why I feel so irritated when people act invincible, like they'll never get sick, disabled, lose their life savings, home, job, family. Everything can be taken away from you in a second and there's nothing you can do to prevent it. 99% of the matter is based on lottery-style luck-of-the-draw. Or unluck-of-the-draw, more like.

My girlfriend of 6 years broke with me a few days ago. I’m devastated. She was everything to me. I had built up so much with her and had so many plans for the future and she threw it all away. So, I unfortunately know what this guy is talking about. I feel like someone ripped my heart out and stomped on it. Anyways, I tried my best and I guess it wasn’t enough

I have loss both my parents, months apart in 2011. I lost my eldest sister at 61 years old in 2013. I lost my middle sister at 59 years old in 2015. I never got a chance to mourn anyone of them the way I felt I should. In 2020, I lost my sister-in-law on my husbands side of the family. In 2021, I lost my husband's brother. And in 2022, I lost my husband to suicide. Not one death from Covid. And now I am nursing my second eldest sister who is in hospice care at age 71. About eight special people in 12 to 13 years. I am at a loss. I can't even do a funeral service for my husband. I just cancelled it again. I have seen the darkness and soon I will be covered in it. I need help. Please. ♥️☘️

first hand experience: the fear of catastrophic financial and asset loss is infinitely worse than the actual financial and asset loss….
