Sleeping well isn’t always easy. For many people, rest becomes a quiet battle — something we long for but that slips away between thoughts, emotions, and accumulated exhaustion.
Still, rest remains one of the most important acts of self-care we have.
💛 Resting doesn’t make you weak. It helps you stay standing.
💛 Sleep isn’t wasted time. It’s how we recover what the day took from us.
💛 A good night can completely change how we face the next morning.
If sleeping well feels hard today, you’re not alone.
Many here understand what it’s like to deal with restless nights, a racing mind, tension in the body, or the challenge of disconnecting after an overwhelming day.
So here’s a gentle reminder, from heart to heart:
✨ Give yourself permission to rest.
✨ Give yourself permission to pause.
✨ Give yourself permission to not push your body beyond what it can give.
Your rest is part of your healing.
Your sleep is part of your well-being.
Your peace deserves space, too.
And if tonight isn’t perfect, don’t punish yourself.
Tomorrow offers a new chance to try again with compassion.
In this community, we celebrate even the small wins:
going to bed a little earlier, turning off screens on time, creating a moment of calm before sleep.
Every one of those steps counts. Every one of them matters.
Tonight I’m sending you softness and hoping you find a quiet pocket of peace to rest. 🌙🤍 #Depresion #ansiety
These issues stem from the chronic, prolonged, and often interpersonal nature of the trauma (e.g., childhood abuse or neglect), which occurs during critical developmental periods, fundamentally disrupting the formation of a stable, positive sense of self. #PTSD #CPTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depresion

As hard as it can be to “alive” in my body on days when my chronic pain is YELLING at me. I must remind myself I create the world I live in. Even if it is a day where laying in bed and making it down the steps to eat are my greatest achievements, I am blessed. I still get to experience the small joys in life. I can feel the sun on my skin with the curtains open while I stretch in bed. I can see the joy in my dogs face when I sit up and make eye contact. These things help me when the depression and laundry seem to be fighting for my attention.
Living with Life-Long Suicidal Depression since at least 4-years-old (mid 1970s); and Migraine Headaches that have been regular (at least 1 to 2 times a week [more weeks now are turning in to at least 2 days] since the mid 1990s) and many other health problems that are on and off weekly or monthly; Extra Debt that I was pressed in to; which can cause me to lose the house, SSDI so it is hard to earn extra money to get out of Debt; and with Life-Long Suicidal Depression, in addition to the Major Pains, I really have been desiring more to be able to go Home to be with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I would greatly appreciate any feed back.

#sad #Depresion #ADHD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder is it possible to feel emptiness and sadness forever? I have taken and done what seems like everything possible for myself to become a better person and have a happy life. I'm relatively healthy. My husband is a good provider. I just can’t seem to find joy in anything anymore. I get bored with hobbies very fast. I'm not too crafty. I used to love hiking and exploring where I live. Now it's just boring and repetitive.
I'll be 39 in November and I just feel like this is going to be how I feel forever: Sad. Angry. Depressed.
MOST of the time, I’m not even “present “
But trapped in my mind
battling for my life.
I had a brilliant week, I finally could breathe a bit better but it seems that when I say I’m better something bad is always happening.
Last week I rant up about my home problems, tonight being at work I received a call from my dad telling me that my grandma cannot breathe.
Instant anxiety attack.
I’ve been to office talked with my shift manager and at break, I’ve met with my dad outside the workplace saying he’s gonna go home because she cannot breathe and to lend him some money.
I’ve talked with her at phone, it was disturbing for me., struggling to breathe, to say anything, I felt her pain, I can’t describe but it hurt me so much.
I went back,inside, booked emergency holiday, stayed till 2 and after went home.
I have an airplane to go home in 3h, hopefully she will not pass till than 😞
Like I told to my boss, I cant do it, it is so hard for me, knowing that she’s not feeling alright is killing me.
She grew me till i was 16-17, i cant she s like a Mom FOR me.
I’ve tried everything to try to calm down, I can’t, I had another anxiety attack ☹️
I don’t know what I’m gonna do because after I had my trauma at work, I don’t think I can go through grief 😖😭😭
