I was at an AA meeting once and someone asked me why do I struggle? He was a real idiot. I told him I had to struggle because I had an illness. He said he did too and he didn’t feel the need to struggle. I walked away.

Well, because in the long run, giving up is harder than to keep pushing forward.

I love how people on this site seem to never give up hope and manage to remain positive too.

I tend not to post much as I have been really depressed since moving in with my elderly father and I don’t want to be a “Negative Nancy” and bring the mood down. (I hope there aren’t any Nancy’s on this site that take offense).

I don’t think it would bring people’s mood down

Many of us can probably relate and feel less alone.

But if you don’t feel comfortable to then that’s okay.

Quitters never win and I really like winning.

Almost as much as I like ankles.

I am always really close to giving up, but sometimes I think the reason for that is that I have to be on the edge to give myself something to fight for.

No means perfect

Will be working on more self-care moving forwards

Working less hours is on the cards at the moment, but that’s not me giving up - I want more time for myself back, as I don’t really need the amount of money I am paid

I’m so glad you don’t feel like giving up. That’s very good news. I was a little worried.

@Sarah What @Zoe says is right. Posting about one’s bad days is good thing for forum. It makes us differentiate from mainstream social media where everyone’s posts are geared towards showing off.

Makes one realize we are not only person struggling.

Why don’t we all just meet somewhere and give up together, en masse.

There’s a story called Quitters Inc. by Stephen King. It’s brilliant but kind of scary.

Just throwing that out there since this thread reminds me of that.
