Re: FACING THE DARKNESS
@Sophia1 Nature does seem to help. I think what our society has done to our environment and the ways we live there days, definitely doesn't help mental health. I don't have any pets right now. My ex husband took my two dogs when we separated and I don't think I've quite recovered. Having a pet certainly helps during the dark times. Do you have any pets?

Re: FACING THE DARKNESS
Hello @Tired1
What a pleasant surprise...such a quick response..
I live in the hills so am not short of trees...animals...hills...birdlife...
it is all around even in the cities if we look hard enough..
That would have been so very hard to be separated from your two dogs at the same time as your marriage...
Pets are so important...I have two cats now....had to say goodbye to one whom I refer to as my soul cat two years ago now...15years old...very ill..I still feel sad when I think of him...
I have had dogs in the past...had to say goodbye to last dog also ...15yrs old....tumours...very hard as I have to hold them and stay with them for a while after...
Have you been on the forums very long?

Re: FACING THE DARKNESS
hello to Saneforums
And hi to @Sophia1
I'm only logging in since January 30th
i'm glad you have a connection to nature @Sophia1
I'm not that close to nature but I try
i have a tip for those on Saneforums
take a slow and calm look at the blue sky
recognise and take in its beautiful blue colour
take in its beautiful blue colour
and say quietly to yourself
"Sending love to the blue sky, receiving love from the blue sky"
"Sending love to the blue sky, receiving love from the blue sky"
Or what about a plant with flowers like a rose bush
Look at the intricate and delicate beauty of the flowers or roses
Look at the intricate colour of the flowers and take in its beauty
and quietly say to yourself
"Sending love to the rose bush, receiving love from the rose bush"
"Sending love to the rose bush, receiving love from the rose bush"
Or what about a bird
Hear the birds beautiful singing and rejoice in it
Look at and take in the calm or tranquil manner of the bird
and quietly say to yourself
"Sending love to the bird, receiving love from the bird"
"Sending love to the bird, receiving love from the bird"
if you really mean it with a tranquil manner
you might have a moment of calm or peace
its still a work in progress for me but it helps a little bit which is better than nothing
thats my take on my slowly but surely increasing relationship with nature
i hope you've found my comments a little bit helpful
peace

Re: FACING THE DARKNESS
Hello to 'saneforums'
Its my first time logging in since 16th of March
Because i didn't feel welcome here
And i felt excluded from the 'saneforums' community
But anyway
I experience all consuming and overwhelming depression, sadness, grief and loss
Its like i am surrounded by dark luminous clouds
And i'm waiting for a ray of sunlight to break through and into being surrounded by the dark clouds
I hope there's a seed of hope and joy in my heart sometime soon
I miss past friendships and relationships
I grief the abortions these ladies confided to me
Its like i feel like i am going to die
The all consuming and overwhelming grief and loss and being surrounded by dark clouds
I hold on in hope
Even moment by moment just to survive each day
Do some of you guys feel the same

Re: FACING THE DARKNESS
Hi @Happyness
I really loved your previous post about appreciating nature.
I do stuff like that a lot.
I also like limestone formations:

Re: FACING THE DARKNESS
Hello 'Saneforums'
I haven't logged-in in many many months
But i'm finally back and posting
I feel so isolated
I feel so lonely
I feel so sad
I feel so depressed
I made about 22 phone calls this evening to people i know this evening but not one person answered the phone
I can't understand why no-one answers the phone
I can't understand why no-one answers the phone
I feel like i have been excluded by the online community
I feel like i have been excluded by people i know
I care a lot
I have a lot of love, care, kindness, compassion and empathy for people who are suffering and in pain
But maybe other people don't feel the same
Maybe other people don't appreciate that i care so much
Sending all of you love and hugs

What's the world come to

Hate speech is on the rise

What's the world come to

I hold onto love, beauty, peace, joy and hope
I hold onto love, beauty, peace, joy and hope
I hope you feel the same

Hoping for you love, beauty and peace
Hoping for you love, beauty and peace
Sending you peace

Sending you love
Sending you love
I hope you will respond
I hope you will respond
