I’ve tried hard for my entire life. I’ve been honest, working hard, nice to everyone. It did not get me anywhere. I am still trying. Hard. For what? I do not know. I will live to keep my cats and dogs safe and happy. When they are gone, is it Ok if I stop trying? I’m so tired.

Hi Meow,

Welcome, as Sophie said. There is much suffering in this world: this forum is full of people who have been, and/or are suffering. It never can take the place of face to face social contact but it is full of a lot of caring souls.

I’m here to be your friend in time of need even though it is just text. Do you want to talk a little about your life dear?

Hi Meow,

Just when I think no-one gets it, I jump on this forum and find a post such as yours. Relatable words for sure. I've tried and am tired too. Born tired, infact. When I think the thinks you're thinking I remember there's plenty of tired, tired dogs and cats out there that need us. Stick around.

Hi Meow. I understand where you are coming from.Ive battled all my life and I'm exhausted. I just love my cats. I'm losing faith in human beings. All I get is rejection after rejection. I've had enough, I just want to be with my cat. I prefer to be alone. Humans wear.me out.Chunty

Hello Dear Meow31...

A very warm and caring welcome to the forums..

I am so sorry your struggling so much with your life...

I can relate to your post, and often think the same as you...I have always been kind and caring to people..when I was well and younger..worked really hard..and only ended up on my own now...with mental health issues....It doesn’t seem very fair.....

I have 2 little dogs, that I love very much and they keep me going...No one will ever love them or care for them like I do..I can hear the live you have for your beautiful pets...

How many cats and dogs do you have Meow31? ..They do give us a lit of joy...

I started volunteering a few years ago with a well known charity shop one day a week...and that gives me a sense of purpose knowing I’m helping people that are in need...other then the 3 other girls I work with, I don’t have much to do with people....I have one very dear friend, and my neighbour who I visit or they visit me....

People haven’t been very kind to me over my life, and now I am more inclined to find some happy moments sitting in the sun, watching and listening to the different array of bird songs..

Please...don’t stop trying after your pets are gone...I know..I really do know how hard it is to continue... I try hard to believe that their is something better ahead...and some days their is....those are the days I treasure..and well worth fighting for...

If you feel up to talking here please do so...no pressure at all...We are here for you Meow31....You are not alone..

My kindest thoughts with my care..

Grandy..

Meow31 im sorry u feel that way. It's very hard when u try so hard, but u dont get anywhere or where u get is not that great compared to all the effort you have put. Then u feel like giving up because u don't feel like there is any point anymore. And that u are sick of trying. I think I understand how and why u feel this way. Talk to me anytime if you would like. I wish u all the best. It gets hard and tiring trying so much. Good luck.

A warm welcome to you Meow31

How beautiful this world would be if everyone we met was as honest, hard working and as nice as you. The world is just that little bit more beautiful because you are in it. It doesn't seem fair, how hard it has to be for the beautiful people who are desperate for others to be more sensitive.

It can definitely become depressing when it comes to how insensitive people can be, hey. When you can meet one after the other throughout your life, it can leave you thinking 'What's wrong with me? Why do I feel so much?' Then you can come here and suddenly find the kind of sensitive people you've been searching for. There are such beautiful deeply caring and deeply feeling people on the forums here who can relate to what the world can be like at times and how dark things can get. I'm so glad you came here. I hope we've managed to bring you a little bit of light.

Feel completely free to be yourself, Meow. Voice anything you wish to voice. Be you, no matter how that feels right now.

🙂

Hi Meow, I reallyy like your name. It is so cute. I guess thats because I simply adore cats and kittens. You still battling? Lifes pretty tough is,nt? You have to be so careful who you can trust. But you are able to pick up the vibes or energys people put out. Im pretty much on me own, just love my cat. She,s absolutely beautiful, and has got heaps of character. Tell you what they give out lots of uncondional love. She,s naughty but thats cool, I still love her. Anyway take care Meow Meow and drop us a line if you want to. Dont give up on youself though, remember you must look after yourself. All the best. Chunty

Hi Meow,

I understand how you feel, and I'm really sorry you feel this way. It really sucks when you try so hard, giving it all you've got, pouring your heart and soul into steering your life. Only for life to knock you back onto the same path before. You keep trying and trying, but it slowly chips your strength away to the point that life feels like it's on repeat, and you start to question what even is the point of trying. I'm glad you were able to find this forum and start a post on it. I'm always here for you to listen if you want to have a chat. Be strong, Meow!

I understand the tiredness. Depression can be exhausting. It takes a lot of strength to keep moving in the face of this exhaustion and think a lot of us - including you - deserve a lot of credit for persevering.

Hello Meow Meow, I repeat I love your name as I identify it with the love of kitty kats which I simply adore them as well. The Darlings are non judgemental, faithful and give lots of unconditional love. I dont trust humans much now.I have got one faithful priest who puts up with me and I still communicate with my ex boyfriend in Brisbane who adores cats and has a few of his own.Then Ive got my Darling pussycat Merryweather. I have recommencd a medication that is helping me sleep better and help me cope with BPD as well. Im very unhappy and am living in fear where my carer is concerned. One Catholic priest from Port Lincoln as totally rejected me when I was begging for help in a crisis. I apologised and begged his forgiveness because I was in desperation texting him in the middle of the night. Ive learnt my lesson, I dont do it to anyone anymore. So Meow Meow, just stick with your little Darling Kittys and pray and ask Jesus to send you one or two humans who will accept you forcwhat you are. Ii have learnt that there few tolerant humans in this earth. Some of them have got ulterior motives. Its unbelievable. Just stick to Jesus and your Kittys and you cant go wrong. You have to protect yourself because there are vipers around. God Bless You Chunty xx🐱😊
