Working on "wanting to live". It's hard to create desire within oneself when one has experienced intense sorrow.
Been trying the "do the thing, and desire comes after" for many things (baking, piano, skating, ..), but that hasn't really worked. What has seemed to work is connecting with people (crucial that they know how to connect back).

(I could just point to the number when I couldn't talk/listen)
- hurtuvac78 2y agoThanks for the link, I think this is helpful and the tips resonate with me. As I get older, the desires that "work" are very frequently the same ones as I had when I was a child.

- procflora 2y agoGris and Spiritfarer are two recent-ish ones I'm aware of, both were well thought of by my partner who works in grief care. :)
