Kelly - How are you doing? Do not do anything about those hopeless feelings just yet, we need you to talk to us. We want you to unload all those bad feelings. All the dark tunnel-visions where no light exists and you run and run and get nowhere fast, those feelings are real and legitimate. I know you have such a struggle right now, I've read your posts and my heart screams for you. It is so incredibly hard to see the future when you're in that dark place, I know. And it's close to impossible to imagine life lifting that heavy burden from inside your being. I cannot speak to you with my voice, I cannot hold you with my arms, but we are here and we care deeply about how you're feeling, how you're living right now.
You are not alone, we are here and we understand what a struggle it is to hold on. But you must, you need to reach out for that safety net, it rests on you. It is an additional responsibility, a burden, but it can't be avoided. You need to make that decision to reach out for the hands stretching towards you. You are precious, you are remarkably made, you are a soul, a spirit, a beautiful creation, whether anyone respects that or not. We have all felt the hopelessness, the failures, you are not alone, I promise you. And those feelings run down so deep, don't they? They are so real, you can feel them. Let those deep feelings go, let them escape, let them fall in an avalanche around you, so that you can help yourself.
Please take care, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know if you need more support, we really are listening.
