Holding on to hope

It's been a rough two weeks...my moods have been all over the place. I've been feeling so low...no hope...and then a glimer today. I'm glad I'm hanging on. I just got a job.

It's hard to find reasons to keep going on, and even though I feel horrible much of the time I keep trying...even when trying is the last thing I want to do.

This is the hardest time of my life without a doubt...facing my problems sober...forcing myself to reach out for help, even when I don't care.

I hope this message keeps someone else hanging on. It's hard to remember that life circumstances always change or have the potential to change.

Hey...I hear you.

I too am struggling with depression...moods so low it's a struggle to pick myself up.
I'll keep hanging on if you will...what will you throw me?....

Hey, congratulations on getting a new job! That is superb!

People here care, it's quite miraculous how much encouragement and support we find here at SR. I hope your low points start climbing and you get more glimmers of hope. And your post did keep me hanging on, and you are right, there is always the potential for change.

Hang in there!

Soph (i have no idea what this drive smiley is, just thought it was funny!!)

Im with you Bam. Reaching out for anything is hard for me but I'll reach out and give you a big big hug. Im good at hugs and yes, you just reminded me that life circumstances do change, and Im working on it too, so we can both hang on, ok.

Keep hanging on. That's all I can say and judging from your post there, it would seem you're doing a good job of it. Each day will be better than the last if you keep trying--and that's motivation in and of itself!
