Six Word Story #211

Six Word Story

Six Word Story:

Sometimes you just lose at life.

About This Six Word Story:

This six word story is written in response to Kevin’s No Theme Thursday Challenge and the image is from that post. I’ve been participating in this challenge for the last few weeks and love it. The images give me a starting point for my posts. If you haven’t read his NTT post yet, do check it out. And consider participating!

This SWS is about how I’ve been feeling recently. For the last few days I’ve been feeling like a loser and my anxiety and depression have been pretty bad. It happens, I guess. I’ve scheduled a meeting with my therapist and will start with medication again if I feel the need to. You know, sometimes life just gets a lot and it wears you down. Like, I feel like I don’t have any fight left anymore. But hopefully, that will pass and I’ll be back to feeling like myself soon. I think I just need to talk to my therapist and let it all out. It’s during these times I’m truly thankful for my blog because it gives me a n outlet and is the perfect distraction too. Just know, I am so grateful for all of you.

How has your week been? Any plans for the weekend? Let me know in the comments section below. And do share your own six word story/stories in the comments below that goes with this theme. Or just share a totally random SWS because why not! Or simply stop by and say hi!

Edit: I was editing an older post and accidentally republished it. If you got an email notification for it please ignore it! My apologies but I have a hard time with the block editor lol!

    I understand the feeling, but you are most definitely not a loser, Pooja. For what it’s worth, know that I, and many others I’m sure, value your friendship and support. Thank you. 😊

    I’m not doing much this weekend. Supposed to get a snow/rain/ice mix, so it’ll be mostly quiet here. Maybe some writing. 🤷‍♂️

    Hang in there!!!

    Hey Pooja, hang in there. You can do it!

    My week was pretty nice. I’m looking forward to the weekend to see my China friends and go to the movie, it’s called Perfect Days. I’m on the way out of minor depression episode, taking my meds and feeling grateful it’s almost over. The best part of being back to normal is that I have my appetite back. I couldn’t eat for a while, for me it’s completely unusual

    Incarcerated with friends, praying for death.

    This SWS came out of an odd conversation. We were working on something, and my friend said, we better be careful; if someone gets killed, we could end up in the same cell with life in prison. I responded and said; I like you, but if we had to spend the rest of our lives in an eight-by-ten cell, I would ask for the death penalty.

    I Hope you are feeling better.

    Smart, to get yourself to therapy when feeling like this. I started seeing my therapist over 4 years ago, and for the last two begin to wonder whether that’s enough time. But I stay because although I have dips in coping, knowing a visit with her is around the corner helps level things immensely. I’m glad writing is a helpful outlet. We benefit. <3

    I really like the idea of image prompts. It pings a different part of my brain that word prompts.
    Your SWS fits that one really well. The picture makes me think of “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller.

        You’re welcome! You’re right. I think there’s less overt direction with an image prompt and I think an image taps into emotions more directly than a prompt in writing. Maybe that’s what I like about them.
