Poll of the Day > I feel trapped.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Feel like when I had cancer, or the three weeks between diagnosis and the start of treatment, was a good time for me to just go off the grid and no one would blame me. Then I went through all that shit and figured that had to be my literal rock bottom and that life was only up from there. But as the years pass things just don't get better no matter what I do or how I try to improve.

The moral of the story is this world sucks. Don't know if you saw my post a few months ago but I went through a lot of stuff as well. And the truth is, you have to find something that makes you happy and cling to that. It will not find you, but you will know once you discover it.

Well you can keep trying different ways to examine and understand your behaviors so you can change them. Therapy of any kind can help immensely with that.

Or you can decide to love yourself for who you are, flaws and all.

Happiness is mostly a function of having good friendships with other people. Although, it certainly gets pretty hard to meet new friends when you get older, so it is easy to get trapped in a bad situation.

Some people with nothing are happy.

Some people with everything are miserable.

Happiness is perspective.

A lot of small things can contribute to your overall mood as well. Getting a little exercise, being around nature or animals, tidying up around the house. All excellent tools to combat sad feelings in my experience.

This thread makes me want to get over my anxiety. So time to go to bed instead of wasting time for no reason on my phone.

Have you tried a hobby? Mindfulness works wonders for me and my mental health. This includes going for walks/hikes and meditation for me but you could try other things. Happy mind, happy life.
