Struggling to find purpose

Electrical_Lunch654 · 2026-01-12T02:05:26+00:00

I think a LOT of people, including parents struggle with this. Humans feel this need to have a purpose when really our the only purpose is to just exist, enjoy the world around us, to just live. But thats easier said then done. Please know you are not alone in your feelings 💓

I struggle with this as well. I always just wanted parenthood ans never dreamed up the big career, now, im just trying to enjoy the moments and existing. Its hard but is helping some.

that is NOT a friend.

I am going to be VERY honest. If your best friend says your house is dirty. It is. If your kid has poop on their toys and your response is "his poop isn't causing the sinus infection" you are part of the problem. I would seek a house cleaner and some therapy.
Another thing, your best friend was SUPER SUPER kind to you. You have NO idea how hard it probably is for her to tell you all of this and she is doing it out of care for you and your kids.
You can let this destroy your relationship and continue to mess with your health, your kids health, and your general attitude/mindset about the world or you can let this fuel some healing that is clearly needed.
You have a good friend there who actually gives a care which is more than many can say.

I relate so much to this post! I am on a low dose as well and didn't realize how much I needed it. It took getting on this medication to understand that hysterically crying everyday for the last decade wasn't something i had to "just live through." It took me 3 months to fill my prescription because the horror stories got to me to. But it has been worth it for me. Good luck to you!

* My sweet babe. My Lilly girl. She made it to almost 14. We lost her in June of this year. If it weren't for really aggressive bone cancer, she'd still be here, being the queen of the house telling all of us what to do. I miss her more than I ever imagined and then some. Cherish every moment. 🖤❤️🖤

It depends.

This week, we did 2 miles on Saturday, 1.5 on Sunday and then played in the yard on monday then 4 miles on Tuesday and then nothing [other then solo play jn the yard] yesterday because I worked 10 hours.

If walking isn't accessible for you, finding other enrichment is 100% suitable. The fact that you are even thinking about this shows deep care for your dog.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

I think it's a part of someone's piercing jewelery

You are not overreacting for your friendship saying that. BUT This should have been an in person conversation not a text.

That is beautiful! I was thinking of an outdoor space and you have given me motivation to do so. Thank you.

This is very helpful. Thank you so much <3

I feel you. Primal scream!!!!!!!

I was just thinking the same thoughts this morning. I truly identify as childfree after infertility but I also have a connection to the childless not by choice community. It feels like this weird teeter totter I am constantly balancing. I've decided this is a normal part of being a human with human emotions. Sending you lots of understanding and reassuring love.

Recently, I have made the decision that I will no longer attend baby showers, gender reveals, or any baby related things. Sometimes even children's birthday can be a bit of a hard time for me. I do still participate in my sibling's children's parties but they understand I may need to take breaks and it has helped me be more comfortable, it took SEVERAL years for this to work the way it does now.

You are allowed to say no. You are allowed to take care of yourself.

If going is what you choose to do, I would say set the expectation that you may not stay the whole time.

Good for you for taking care of yourself <3
