Are You Living or Surviving

[articx]

I am not sure, but I think I am surviving.

If it wasn't for my family, friends and my potential life partner I would have otherwise say I'm surviving.  My job really stresses me as well financial anxiety. But I'm surrounded by people who are very caring and attentive to me.

Right now honestly surviving. Need to make it change ASAP!!

Always surviving - striving to live!

retired and living

I like to think I am living. I try to make sure I have no regrets and try to spend as much time doing the things I like with my family even if it means giving up other things.

I am just surviving right now. There is just too much I have had to deal with lately and I hope for a turnaround soon.

   Both!

Things have been pretty good the past year so but there are still a few things in my life that are hard to deal with, so I'd say I am doing a both.

I am just surviving one day at a time, my life became a struggle many years ago and as far as I can see it will never get any better.

I'm living the best life I can.  Somethings I could chance and I'm working on that.

I'm surviving.  I'm going through severe depression with not being able to have children.  Hopefully the end is near.

Hope things get better.

I certainly hope that's not true!!! I hope things get better for everyone on here who is struggling. Because I myself have been browsing for ways to keep my head above water during potential tough times, I thought it was worth mentioning (what you all already may know) --- as far as finances, there's always churches that help people with rent and utilities, and state public assistance... Keep your chin up, guys.

I was reading in a devotional yesterday about living or surviving. If you're always running from something or to something you're surviving. As I look at my own life I feel as though I'm surviving. What are your thoughts?

This really intrigued me. It's an important and thought-provoking question for sure.... Surviving, definitely. And not very well because at the moment I'm mostly dependent on other people. I barely leave my room/the house as my anxiety builds, and I haven't done anything fun outside of the house at all this year.... Constantly nervous and tense.... Bleh. I hope that changes soon!!!! For everyone else, too --- we got to start living!

I identify with your post. I've had anxiety about my situation for a year now. It doesn't leave me dependent on others, but it puts me in the worst mood. A very blah place. I hope things change for you soon. :-)
