Struggling to stay vegan

[Daphneduck123]

So its been about 10 years that I've been vegan and I'm facing some kind of mental and physical weakness... has anyone else reached this point? I thought I was just being a wuss and I could push through it but eventually I couldn't and have been eating fish and dairy. The sadness is that I have failed my goal to stay vegan forever. I feel endlessly bad about this. However I'm not permanently eating fish and dairy just sometimes when I feel really weak again but maybe it's about feeling bad about life as well. Maybe if more people cared that I am vegan then I wouldn't experience this weakness and I also think that people think they have to be needlessly strong and I wonder if people didnt feel that way there would be less violence and the world would be a better place. If fruit and vegetables could be grown more readily worldwide then there wouldnt be a threat of starvation. I do hope this is addressed somehow. I just worry about what kind of people are out there if they just cant be bothered to grow veggies and fruit.

I am sorry you are having a hard time of it right now. Maybe just take it day by day and focus on what you can do just for that day. It is difficult to swim against the tide, as they say, and sometimes, looking at the big picture can be daunting. I try to think about only what I can do, and it eases my mind to know that I am helping to reduce animal suffering.

If you are feeling weak physically, maybe get an appointment with your doctor and have them do a blood test to see if you're low on anything vitamin- and mineral-wise.
