Bad Day today - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

renee18 · 07-05-2006, 08:35 PM

Today I got up and I was depressed. I ate junk before work then I did not eat all day and then pig out when I got home. Yesterday I ate so much food I was punishing myself for doing that and because at work lately I have been really messing up and I am angry at myself for all that sh** I have been messing up and then other people get yelled at because of my mistakes. I hate that and it hurts me when it happens. I am not happy right now and all I want to do it hug someone but that wont happen tonight.

Shana maybe tomorrow will be a better day......

I know what it feels like to have a really crummy day and I just wanted to tell you what I always tell myself............it can only get better from here LOL

I went to my first NA Meeting today and finally told my really close friends and family about my problem. Life is looking much better for me today and I just wanted to send you my best and hope that tomorrow's a better day.

Shana,
I'm sorry to hear that yesterday was such an awful day for you and that you were depressed. I am just now coming out of a long, hard and deep depression, so I can understand to a point how you feel. You are so young and I remember going through all of that depression and being so, so, so hard on my self about everything, when I was young like you. I know that so much of this is hormonal and so much is just part of growing up. I wish that I would have known when I was your age about how powerful positive affirmations are. It feels silly when you first start trying to use them, but they really do help and after all, what have you got to lose by trying?! Everytime you say something negative about yourself in your head or outloud, you immediately replace it with the opposite statement that is positive, and you practice saying that to yourself. Did you know that it says in the Bible, that you ARE what you think?! So you will become what you tell yourself that you are, whether it be negative or positive. It is your daily choice what you want to be. These are just some things that I have learned and am still learning that are helping me and I wanted to share them with you. Go ahead and give it a try. I DARE YOU !!!!! LOL !!!!

OH Shana.... I wish I could be there ... right with you so I could give you that hug and many more if you needed !

Ditto to what Nina said above. Even if you tried those positive affirmations before...try again. I know how hard it is to believe in yourself when all you've heard most of your life is neg. but it's time to change that.

Don't keep punishing yourself for things, just go forward.

Thanks girls,

Today has been a better day for me for the most part just a little sick still from yesterday.

Thanksf or all the suport and things to try. I have tried the postive affirmations before and it helped a little. I am going to start doing that again. Good idea to pick up and go on with my life no matter what. I will be posting more and checking in more as I need too make time to do that and take care of myself

love
Shana
