Dear RockyGirl,
I am so sorry that you are feeling this way today. Please try and reach out to someone who is close to you. I don't know what you are dealing with but I want you to know that someone is out here listening to you and caring.

What's going on RG? Not sure how we can help, but I know that sometimes we need to let others love us when we can't love ourselves. Maybe if you're a little more specific some of our members can share their experience?

Breathe........

Thanks,

It's just that everything seems to be getting to me just really small things...I mean usually my parents are very supportive and I love them to bits but they keep moaning about rent and since I was fired I haven't had the money to pay them rent...I am trying to get benefits but the benefit people are messing me around so much...

then I can't take care of my animals properly because I don't have the motivation or money for food for them so I am having to sell some which I really don't want to do...

I have my driving test (4th time) this Friday so I am apprehensive about that

my room is a crap hole and my energy levels and concentration are just nil at the moment but all I keep thinking is that i'll have to be forced into going back to work if the benefit people don't get their act together...there is a lot of other stuff too I am just so depressed at the moment and I don't know what to do!


thank you for listening

Aimee

You've got a lot on your plate Aimee. In recovery we do our best to stay focused on living in the moment, one day at a time, instead of looking ahead to the future and what hasn't happened yet. Sometimes that means taking life in the smallest of increments, one second at a time if necessary.

I just shared this with another member, it's helping me to not dwell on financial and work-related problems I'm currently stressing over......

Today's thought from Hazelden is:

Reflection for the Day


Before I came to The Program, I hadn't the faintest idea of what it was to "Live In The Now." I often became obsessed with the things that happened yesterday, last week, or even five years ago. Worse yet, many of my waking hours were spent clearing away the "wreckage of the future." "To me," Walt Whitman once wrote, "every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle." Can I truly believe that in my heart?

Today I Pray


Let me carry only the weight of 24 hours at one time, without the extra bulk of yesterday's regrets or tomorrow's anxieties. Let me breathe the blessings of each new day for itself, by itself, and keep my human burdens contained in daily perspective. May I learn the balance of soul that comes through keeping close to God.

Today I Will Remember

Don't borrow from tomorrow.

(((RG)))

It's easy for me to get overwhelmed. One thing goes wrong and everything I've been thinking about crashes down on me.

I deal with that by focusing what it is I can control right now and getting a working plan on how to deal with the rest.

Hang in there.

That's a good start Aimee! Maybe you could practice for your driving test too? Start with small, easy tasks. It'll get easier as time passes.
