Hopes for 2025

JustBe

Hi,

As we go into 2025, for me it's a significant milestone since a traumatic event in my life, and because of this I am met with mixed feelings. 

I feel that I should be further ahead in my recovery, and I would have really liked to be helping others by now, and to have a life purpose. But along with the frustration comes the guilt for trying to carry on/moving on with my life. 

I know that I need to be kind to myself really. And I only discovered that I'm autistic a year ago, and that's a lot to deal with on it's own. 

My hopes for 2025 are to have/make good memories. And it would be really nice to finally have mutual love in my life.

What are your hopes for 2025 ? 

Best wishes for the new year people.

  • I just hope that I’ll be able to push through for a little longer. It sounds so pathetic, but I’m really scared that I’m going into a burnout again. I have it so much easier than so many others and still… A while ago, I really struggled for half a year or so. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and I don’t know if I would be able to push through something like that again. Sorry for complaining, it sounds so irrelevant in comparison to so many so much more difficult fates.

    What you’ve said doesn’t sound pathetic or irrelevant at all. Burnout can be incredibly overwhelming, and the fact that you’re recognising it and speaking about it shows a lot of self awareness and courage. Your struggles are valid, no matter how they compare to anyone else’s. Just because someone else might be facing different challenges doesn’t make yours any less important.

    You deserve support and care just as much as anyone else. If you’re feeling like burnout might be creeping in again, it might help to think about what got you through the last time, any small comforts, supports, or strategies that worked last time. And you’re definitely not complaining… you’re sharing how you feel, which is absolutely okay here, it’s one of the purposes of this community. Please know that you’re not alone, and there are people who understand and will help you through.
