Hi my name is Steve and I am in recovery and sober but not feeling good I have been sober since march 25 2003 and have been on lexipro for the last 35 days . My problem is I am not feeling any better I have no ambition have been confused a lot it seems nothing matters and I feel like I have a head full of cotton.
my self esteme is really suffering and I am really getting depressed from being depressed if that makes sence.
I have allways been able to dream and set goals to obtain them but I am no longer able to do this I just want to be able to work for a better life but latlely all I am doing is breathing my part of the air,eating my part of the food,and lathargically walking around in the space I occupy.This sort of rootless existance is grining away at the very fabric of everything I have ever been about. So now I am broke and I am gonna end up getting kicked out of another house and I am sober for petes sake.How can I get out of this funk I have to do something fast I am loosing ground.Please if you have any suggestions let me know.Oh also I go to on average 2 to 3 meetings a day AA that is my family is having trouble with that and my wife is leaving me rotten notes and she is still drinking I have very little support from her she just tells me to snap out of it I am trying to believe me.
