I want to congratulate you on getting up and getting out today. I know it takes a lot of courage. I hope I can get up the courage to get out of here my self today.
Stay strong today. Remember, smoking will not making anything better.
We are here for you. It can be tough to make new friends; especially when you are going through a difficult time. New friends may have trouble understanding Depression. Have you tried in person support groups?
Well I actually got up at a decent time and I am headed out. I was up most of the night and didnt want to get up. I have the fear, hopeless stuff going on. I am mostly Lonely. Lonely sucks. I really have no one. If I reach out ( whine and cry ) People write back. How do you just have friends. 30 years work and family! Period! That was it, no friends, no hobbies, just work, worry, stress, resposibility. So Im good at being alone. Even when I do try to reach out I get rejected. I must upset people. Well time to head in to the big city. Might be a relapse day. Everthing sounds good today.
I don't really have anything helpful to say. But I did want to say I empathize with you. I can only imagine how tough things were for you this Christmas. I agree with Samantha that you seem to be focusing in getting better and getting the wheels spinning. Hang in there!
It sounds like you know what it is that you need to do, you are getting things in motion and getting the wheels spinning. Stay focused on what you need to do for yourself and take things one task at a time. What is your game plan for the next few weeks?
Thats what Im trying to learn. I grew up ACOA and my dad was a career soldier. We moved ALL the time, so I never had relationships growing up. Them in preteens self medicating began in one form or another. So I have a lot of growth going on, plus my quit. Im glad I posted too. None of my FB friends ever contact me first, so I was in anger and denial with everything and wasnt going to post or contact anyone first. That wont work here. LOL
It certainly is a long time Lance. Losing that relationship and your children would be incredibly hard for anyone. You are so strong to keep fighting and don't you forget that! I am glad I saw you posting today. I was thinking of you over the holidays and glad you are at least getting on the support groups!
You are right you did take care of them and now you need to take care of yourself before you can begin caring for others again. This may be hard but this may be what you need right now. How can you care for yourself now in ways you were unable to before?
I want to be back on the one I was on when I was doing good. Plus now Im going to meetings and getting plugged back in with my bus. and now im doing career placement testing. I miss having a routine with people I care for in it. But in those days I took care of them and never myself in the right ways. But still I miss my Wife and Kids, they are pretty wonderful. 25 years with my wife was a long time.
Nothing, Ive been just plain feeling sorry for myself. I havnt been working out or anything. Im planning to get a fresh start this week and getting back in to a routine. Its just been bad lately. The crappy part is this insnt the real me! I look different, sound different and everything. I jus need to pull through all this. It like a nightmare I cant wake up from.
