I wish I was happy right now

Hi everyone, I wish I was happy right now and I have no clue why I am sad. I am safe which is good. I am having suicidal thoughts but I won’t act on them. I just need someone to message right now. To make me happy. I woke up sad this morning. I have been sad the whole morning which sucks. I hope that someone will see this post on the forums and can make me laugh and smile in someway. As I need to laugh and smile right now.

Hi Rose2021, 

 

I am sorry that you have been feeling sad and having some suicidal thoughts. And I am sorry that no one responded to your message on the forum over the weekend. I hope you know that Beyond Blue has a counselling service that you can call and also LifeLine you can always call 24/7 for crisis support. I have called these numbers a few times and I find it really helpful to have someone to talk to or to use the online chat if I don't feel like talking. It's nice to connect with someone right in that moment when I feel sad or overwhelmed. And I find that the connection with another person can help to ease the sadness.    

 

I can hear your longing to smile and laugh, and the hope that someone else on the forum can provide that. The thing is though, I don't know you at all so it is hard to know what would make you smile and laugh because everyone has a different sense of humour......  For me, it would be a silly cat video 🙄😅.... 

 

But, I can reach out and say that I read your message and I hope that you are okay and that you have support.

Hi Rose2021, 

I'm glad you're feeling better mentally. Sorry to hear you have a cold. I hope you get better soon and things continue to improve for you. 

 

Take Care,

Hello Rose2021

Relaxing in bed? Are you reading a book or listening to music, or doing something on your phone or tablet?

There are indeed some funny videos on Youtube. I usually go there to listen to audiobooks, & sometimes, I find music. I don't want to subscribe, but I get irritated with the ads. I find fewer ads in the audiobooks.

What things do you enjoy doing? If ithe weather is fine, would you enjoy getting out for a walk, maybe in a park, maybe near water, if there is any near you, & simply pending some time in nature? Earlier enough in the day, you could take a lunch break while out.

We have some fun word games here on BB, in the BB Social Zone, if you'd like to try. & there is a thread called 'Worst Joke Wednesday', for some jokes people have posted, too.

For a deeper happiness, I think the best things are things we do to care for ourselves. I'm finding it feels good deep inside to know I'm doing things like exercise, eating well, gettting my body clean (most especially after the exercising & hydrotherapy),then using my moisturising cream to soften my very dry skin. Sometimes it does feel good to have a snooze, but in general I try not to, because after having a snooze, I might be up too late into the night.

& such moods often are temporary, as are colds. When I have had a cold, a bowl of hot chicken soup feels very healing, tastes good & coincidently, lifts my mood, although it really works best if it's home-made chicken soup.

I am bored and I wish someone could email me. So I could have someone to be able to keep in touch with 

I am watching YouTube on my iPhone

Hello Rose2021

Unfortunately, BB does not encourage exchanging email addresses, so we cannot have such direct communication.

What sort of things do you watch on Youtube?

It's about dinner time. What are you having for dinner? For me, it's a garden salad, & an omelette with strawberries in it. Really, it tastes very nice.
