The source of humor #Laugh #Humor #Misery #downinthedumps

Mark Twain said that the secret source of humor isn’t joy it’s sadness.. I should be killing it in stand up I’m so sad.. life is so brutally challenging I’m so ground down.. and having my semiannual oncologist visit isn’t helping the mood #cowdens #Caregiver #HealthCare #Work #Lonesome

Who else is lonely tonight?

It’s suddenly occurred to me that I haven’t seen any of my friends in a while, they are back in school and working. Meanwhile I’m stuck at home. I’ve also noticed my mom has been leaving a lot in the evenings to go to my sisters house. I’m not jealous, I just miss our long talks in the evenings. That being said I’m hoping a hot bath will bring me comfort. What has you feeling lonely tonight? #MitochondrialDisease #ChronicIllness #RareDisease #CheckInWithMe #Lonesome

Anxiety is so isolating

Hello I’m brand new to The Mighty. Someone suggested I check it out to find a sense of community - people who truly understand what it is like to struggle with generalized anxiety and depression. I have a wonderful husband and supportive dad and siblings but I also get the strong sense I’m draining on them. Which I completely understand as it would be draining to have someone who is struggling to find joy in everyday life around all the time. It is so hard to fake feeling ok. And I tend to be an open book so mostly “let it all hang out” which is hard for those around me. So I feel so alone. Making the anxiety and depression worse. Don’t have many friends locally. I spend my lonely days craving for human companionship but mostly not finding it.

Anyone on here in Oakland County MI? I’m in Rochester Hills. If anyone knows of support groups in my area or is close and wants human companionship, I’d be grateful #anxietysucks #Lonesome

Genuine

#MightyPoets #numbness #Lonesome

Going through
Coming through
Into my life

Forcefully, saying it was ok
Forget, that you’re already broken

Shot me awake !

A moment of truth
Whether is genuine or fake
A smile of your is futile

I’m trapping behind sorrow
