If I wake up tomorrow morning

I'll just echo what others have said scuba. We are seeing these kinds of posts more often than pre pandemic. I don't know, but suspect there is a link there.

Stay strong and stay talking.
 
Hope you are ok this morning Scuba! I’ve been there and felt like there was no way things would improve, like I was too tired to care about even trying to carry on, but eventually things did improve for me and I’m sure they will for you! One foot in front of the other, and repeat!
 
Many of us are from perfect and have far from perfect lives I definitly include myself. I sometimes think I wish I was someone else at times, and I imagine posters on here having great lives, but some things are difficult to change in our lives and people will always be different and always have been throughout the ages.

I used to work with young people with major disabilities and I would think to myself they have been really unlucky in life, but it did make me reflect on my own life. Not that I should stop thinking about my own issues, but it made me think others have issues too. They also showed me coping strategies, such as using to full what we have. So if they had no eyes they have ways of getting round total sight loss or if they had no eyes and no hearing how they utilised touch more. On an emotional level If they felt no one would love them and how they could cope and manage that. In some ways it was good for me to work with them.

I have an ex work colleague who as worked with the Samaritans for well over 20 years, they can help some people when they get low. He is a very good guy and now he does training for the less experienced ones even though he is in his mid 70s. From what he has told they are a professional crew.
