Jjb, I know how it is like to feel down. And I have been through the 'I feel like everything is doomed right from the start.' In fact, I am still going through it.
At some point in time, self preservation has to kick in. We may never be able to totally not slide into the valleys but we can find ways to get out from them.
Jjb, what helps you to get out from the valley? I find that a little of what V calls the white anger helps. I know I am not that bad a person. I know that I have things to offer to the world. Life svcks right now but I am going to make it svck less cuz no one else is going to do it for me.
What would help to make things svck less now for you? For me, it's getting a grip on my housing sitch. I may grow old and lonely but at least I'll grow old and lonely with a roof over my head.
You can call me Dory/ Grl.
As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"
It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
