Empathy Only Check in

I just need to check in that I’m still here. I’m fighting to stay here. My mind or depression or whatever is inside of me that makes me feel this way wants me to give in. Constantly feels like a tennis match and I am in the middle of the court getting hit in the head from both sides. I have to remind myself that there are a lot of people out there fighting the same thing. Thank you to those who are still here, still fighting.

i appreciate your sharing with this check-in. It sounds like you are having a very difficult time, and i am glad you are able to continue fighting to stay here even though it's so difficult. To me, your perseverance is very strong. i am sorry you are going through this.

This is good, I'm glad to hear this.
It's good that you're checking in. One of the most difficult things, maybe the most difficult thing about participating on SF is keeping track of people. Some people will post on SF every few weeks or months, and it's hard to tell if someone's absence from the forums is meaningful or not. There's also a steady stream of new posts and new members, so it's very easy to just loose track of someone.

I recall posting on another thread that getting support on SF is like floating in the water at night after a ship has sunk, with lots of other people doing the same. The SF lifeboats are out there, but it's necessary to keep calling out for the help you need until you get it.

Glad to read that you are fighting, and to let you know we are still pulling for you here anytime you need to check in.
