Survive

28 October 2016

When people ask me how I’m doing, I think, ‘I’m just trying to survive.’ I don’t know what I say–probably ‘good’. Hah! Truly I’m just trying to survive. If I can maintain some basic level of mental and physical health, maybe I will make it to a time when I feel a little better. When I have energy for more. This is what I am doing now, what I can do:

Trying to stay relatively mentally and physcially healthy. That’s about it really.

Allow myself to feel moments of pleasure or happiness when they come.

Try not to wallow.

I don’t have the energy to waste on self-criticism.
