Knock it off!
You leave you will upset a lot of people who care about you.
Stop beating yourself up. There is no need for it.

Who are you when not drinking? Who can you become by not drinking?
I can write pages that will tell you what kind of worm I was in my past but I would rather tell you who I see in the mirror today.
I see you saying the same... I am worth it. I am a nice person.

You are worth it. You are a nice person.
Together with the help and support of others... You can get past this.

You are cared about and loved by many so please stop beating yourself up over this.

Are you drinking right now? If not, then you're stronger than you think. If you are, can you put it down? Dump it. Go outside for a while. Breathe.

Least, you need to call the Samaritans or go to an ER.

You need help.

Least, you worry me. Sometimes people have adverse reactions to medication. Maybe you should call your doctor and telling him how you are feeling. I understand you have a lot going on and are justified in feeling upset right now, but sometimes certain meds with some people's chemistry can intensify instead of diminish feelings of depression and hopelessness. Least it makes me sad that you can't get more support from your family, and I do hope you are finding some comfort here at SR. There are quite a few people here who care about you. You are a human being, and in heaven we are made to be perfect but not here on earth. You are allowed to make mistakes and it doesn't mean you don't deserve to be here.

"You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."

This comes from The Desiderata by Max Ehrmann(?). If you haven't read the whole thing, you might want to look it up. I've found a great deal of comfort in those words over the years. I'm going to be praying for you a lot Least. Don't disappear on us.

Praying for you Least

Praying that you come back here to tell us you're ok. Praying for you to work your way out of this. You matter to us. I don't understand why things happen the way they do, either - why sometimes this world seems such a cruel place, but I made the decision to live and work towards a better day instead of focusing on all the negative things. You know things never stay the same forever, there has to be a brighter day for you, but you'll never see it if you give up now. I'm so worried because this week you sound much less hopeful - there has to be a reason & a solution. You are loved and cared about here, please don't stop posting.

I am so sorry you are going through this ((((Least)))). This is all I can think of right now to give to you. Please give it a chance my friend. You are not alone, I promise with all my heart.

Much Love sent to you girl. XOXO

My Decision


I have a decision to make--
what will I do?
I'll humbly bow my head,
dear Father, and bring it to You.

I know You'll show me
the thing that is right,
It may be tomorrow
or it may be tonight.

I want to serve You
and do Your will,
I would like to go boldly
but I'm timid still.

I'm not afraid,
that's what I say,
But what if I
choose the wrong way?

You've promised to lead me
and I know it is true,
But how Blessed LORD,
will I know it is You?

I trust You to show me
and rid me of doubt,
Keep me and lead me
and make it work out.

I feel calmer now,
I know You are here,
You'll show me the pathway,
each step will be clear.

Forgive me for wanting
to see far ahead,
And help me follow You
each moment instead.

Thanks for Your strength
and Your wisdom too,
And for teaching me daily
that I can trust You.

I know that the moment
my decision is due,
That you'll tell me plainly
what I should do.

By Bob Hefner

Well.....you learned another way that it doesn't work.....as I hear so many here say, members with much more wisdom than I, what are you going to do different?
