Yes it did cheer me up! Just wish I read it sooner maybe I wouldn't have fallen depressed again. Writing in here does help me however. I have been in here for almost an hour and am noticing that this site makes me feel better. When I reply to a post or start a thread I notice in helping others I get my own crap out too. Its like I am helping myself but its for others. I am glad to see that it helps me. I don't want to be depressed I really don't like it at all. I unfortionatly got a taste of pleassure in life. A feel of what happiness really is. It took me thirty years to find this happiness and now its gone again. I pray to get it back. I have never in my life felt happiness like that. Sad to say I truely love my daughter but I did not even feel it then. There was love but there was still something inside me missing. A number of weeks ago I found that happiness that was missing in my life and I am struggling to find that again. Its like I was teased. Like I had happiness and then it was dangled in front of me then took away totally. Well I want it back so bad. Its such an empty feeling. Its sad it took me thirty years to get that feeling alot of people take advantage of. I just pray to God I get it back soon...

I am sorry to hear you have been struggling through snother depression....I know how tough it can be to see through to the light. Sending positive thoughts and warmest hugs of support your way.

I have been busy for sure! Yikes!! Some days I want to run and hide and scream..it is still all new to me living life on life's terms..doing the right thing no matter how I feel..but it is also so wonderful...I can hardly believe it some days! I have been asked to be a bigger part of the small school where my children go..so am looking forward to that..(except the panic attacks..pretty bad, but working through it no matter what) Kinda nervous the anxiety could interrupt everything, but am working the same principles for my anxiety as my addictive behaviours..and I manage. So, all in all I am very very blessed and really starting to live.

You are in my thoughts and prayers my friend..hang in there....I find I am so much stronger after each depression or stressful situation I work through sober and clean. What an awesome thing to be free! Even the worst days aren't so bad when we don't use......love it!

(((((((((((((Warmest Hugs)))))))))))))

2stop How long do you have clean? I ask this because of the anxiety. In the begining of recovery about five months in I got an attack so bad I was hospitolized. Five days later I return home. Lets see, about eight months later I have another attack. Not being hospitolized that time but put on adivan again. That med caused severe memory loss I mean days lost. I took myself off the adivan told the doc it made me forget to much. I would say another six months pass and I have a small stint with anxiety. However now I haven't had ant anxiety since. I am not sure if this serequel is stopping them or what but its been quite a while. I guess I was trying to see if you notice a pattern and also to let you know the longer you get into recovery the further the attacks and the shorter they last. So there is hope of you possible not getting them as much the more you stay clean. I too have also had friend going through the same thing that also don't have them as much. Something about using opiates and stopping I think. You used opiated? No? Heck I would think using anything would screw the body up.

Talk about memory loss..I don't know the date I stopped but it has been about 3 months I think(?)....I have surmised it was my body just chemically adjusting....and in time will fade..yep it was the ole opiates I was hooked on...my dad offered me some today..I told him to get away..NO! not even a small craving...no desire for it.that right there is a miracle! I do have faith it will pass...so am doing pretty well actually. Just knowing I do have a choice now, that I have the say in how I act and react to life..is just amazing to me. Every single day I reaffirm my commitment, focus more on what I do accomplish that what I don't..and remain grateful for my life. I get more excited every day about my life.

Thanks for sharing that with me though, it really does help knowing others have made it and the anxiety slowly went away.

I hope you continue to feel better Bubblzes. (((((((Hugs)))))))))

Thank you! Oh That dad of yours always wanted to get you stoned. Bad Dad Bad. Misery loves company is that it. Well you just tell him you are clean and want to stay that way and thats that. three months is a huge accomplishment. Keep up with it and you will be rewarded. Take it from me another strung out junkie who never thought I coulf put more then four hours together without the next fix. Each day a new begining. Each new begining a new day. Stick and stay. We can do this together. All of us.
