Stuck and Lost: Finding Your Way

Your Struggles Are Valid

By clairePublished about a year ago 1 min read

At some point, we all feel lost and unsure of our direction in life. It can seem like everything we once excelled at is now going wrong. Despite our best efforts, we face repeated failures that make us question our abilities and self-worth. Everything feels heavy and dark, and our minds and hearts feel stuck.

During these times, we might experience deep self-doubt, questioning why we were born and what our purpose is. It's challenging to explain our pain, and we often feel misunderstood by others. We may try to put on a brave face and pretend to be happy, but inside, we worry about whether we deserve this life and if we are making the right choices.

Sometimes, it feels like the only option is to run away because home no longer feels comforting. We struggle to remember the last time we felt truly happy. These doubts and feelings can be overwhelming, making us want to give up.

However, it's important to remember that no pain is too small, and these feelings won’t last forever. Better days will come. Until then, take care of yourself. Even if others don’t fully understand your struggles, your feelings are valid and important.
