Why I’m here

article image placeholderUploaded by @MindsetforMums
I thought one off. Anyway, this happened four nights in a row. Absolutely no sleep, going to work on zero sleep, having to get up to the kids. And this lasted for four months. Couldn't put my finger on it, just kept thinking I'd snap out of it. I have had, like, bouts of insomnia in the past, but never longer than a few days. Anyway, four months and I cracked and I went to the GP and they gave me sleeping tablets

And it's a big thing to admit that you haven't been feeling like yourself. I've had to admit that to myself as well, and it's sobering. So yeah, I really commend you for doing that and for sharing your voice on here. I'm excited to hear more

@r.o

What realization made you realize that? And what sort of things have you done to overcome it? I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Sorry I haven't replied earlier. I missed it

But I think I feel that way about everything else. Yeah, I guess when it's not about the core values and it's about I don't know, the byproducts that don't actually mean as much. That's where I struggle a lot. I get very existential and feel very nihilistic because I get into this mode of feeling like there are very few pure, beautiful things, which is so untrue. And I know that

You. I think I might be coming in the middle of a conversation, but from that snippet that I heard, I think, you know, the question why I'm here is definitely has got to be the number one question that a person has to ask themselves. And I think there's many different layers to it. There's? Why am I here? In a global sense? And that has macro ramifications. Then why am I here?

You. I really love what you said. It was just amazing how your tone and the way you started didn't wasn't synchronizing with what you said at the end but like hundred percent that you know, why'd you pick up the crayons in the first place. A child generally doesn't have this depression
