Sad musings

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure what to say other than I'm just on edge, cranky and sad at the same time. I'm aware of helplines, doctors, mental health plans, mindfulness, CBT, smiling mind app, distractions, doing things we love, etc, etc. I feel as though I've hit a wall...

I know that I want to make some sort of change or changes but I'm unsure of the nature of this change. A general feeling of unease. When you're deeply unhappy but you're not even 100% sure why.

Seriously, this all probably seems kind of vague and I'm not sure what I'm hoping to achieve here, and I know that no one has the answer except for me (whatever that is...throws hands up in frustration).

All I can say is I think life is difficult and often painful. It's the daily, in-between moments that I find the hardest. Sometimes I wonder if brief moments of reprieve is as good as it gets.

Hi friends,

As always, your support means the world to me and I'm truly grateful. I know that I say it in almost every other post but I feel it's important to express my gratitude. So once again, thank you 🙂

Butterfly Wings- your sitting with me and perching on my hand was very comforting. You have a very gentle presence. Made me a little teary in the best way possible ❤️❤️

Thanks, yep, my avatar is basically seashells and sand. Lol. Love you loads too xoxoxoxoxo

Quirky- your kind thoughts are much appreciated. Short and sweet post but packed with kindness 🙂

Wilma- oh you gentle soul...thank you so much for visiting especially as I know how difficult it can be for you to write on other people's threads. You're doing a mighty good job btw!!!

Also, the heartbroken emoji was perfect. I feel a bit like that too right now 💔

monkey_magic- your company is most welcome. My Misery Train has unlimited passenger capacity although be slightly scared that driving as I'm not qualified to drive trains sssshhhh....don't say that I didn't warn you 😉

Grateful heart,

Pepper xoxo

Hi pepper,
yea its definitely a great album by a great artist 🙂
haha i love how there are always so many ways to interpret different songs, everyone has their own way.

how have you been doing? i hope you get to spend a bit of time outside the next few days as ive heard they are going to be quite warm and sunny!

Hi lovely people,

Butterfly Wings- your presence is always welcome and appreciated here 🙂 Thanks for keeping me company and back at you. Always ❤️❤️ xoxoxoxo

Cesca- agreed about how it's all open to interpretation 🙂 I think that is what makes it so special.

Ah nice weather is always a plus. Thanks, I'm plodding along. Feel a bit disillusioned and have lost my faith in a lot of things. You're very kind to ask- appreciate it.

Warm thoughts,

Pepper xoxo

hi pepper,

definitely agree
sorry youve lost faith, to be honest im in the same boat. hoping to find some more in the next few days as its hard to keep going with not much hope left. but todays a new day 🙂

feeling any better this morning?

Thanks Cesca 🙂

I appreciate you checking in on me.

I hope you feel a little more settled over the next few days too.

It means a lot when you visit especially when I know you have your own struggles too.

Kind thoughts,

Pepper xoxo
