With life? Or sobriety?

Don't give up on either.

You've had positive posts in the past. So your feelings now are likely temporary. Don't do anything drastic. The pendulum is bound to swing the other way and you will be feeling better.

Don't make any drastic decisions when you're feeling so depressed.

Try to remember that the feelings will pass. Is there one thing you can do today to help yourself feel better? Take a breath and enjoy the day .

Hello,

You have posted lots of kind words to others on here, and those words may have made a huge difference to them in that moment. Life can sometimes cartch up with all of us. Try to think of something you love, even if it is a favorite trail, movie, show and start with that.

If you can get in to see a doctor/therapist today that may help as well.

You have made a difference to me by being part of this community, and I enjoy seeing you on here.

❤️ Delilah

Your life is definitely worth living! I guarantee those that love you feel the same way. They may be angry, they may feel disappointed, but I guarantee they see your life worth living.

What is something you can do nice for yourself, RIGHT THIS SECOND. Go outside if it's nice. Get some fresh air. Go to a support group, get some perspective. Pet an animal. Talk to us. We know your life is worth living. Now, you just need to see it as well!

When my daughter died two things kept me going. One, the certainty that things would get better and two, all I had to do was stay sober today.

Well things did get better although I still have some very dark days and today marks 2400 sober days.

Nobody ever said this sobriety stuff is easy but it can be done

Hi zigzagging. Let me echo what's already been said. Please seek out help if you need it. I've been where you are and, know it's not easy. You need to go on the faith that it will get better and, it will. It might take awhile but, it will. Please take care of yourself. You are important.

Zigzagging, hang in there until tomorrow. You know tomorrow can't be any worse. And who knows, maybe it will be better. In the mean time try to reach out to someone in your life or if you're in the US call, 1-800-273-8255. They can help you.

I have often felt the same way. I lost everything to alcoholism and can't even get a job because of my past. I think about suicide quite regularly. But, it's just thinking. My thoughts betray me. My circumstances are horrible right now but circumstances are temporary and can change.

Your life may suck now, but your circumstances can change too. I look at others who have been through much, much worse than me and they haven't given up. I'm not gonna give up.

Just keep on keeping on. You'll get through this.

Zigzag,

I am so sorry for the pain you are in.

Please go see a doctor or an ER.

I was there, many of us have been.

There is light even if you can't see it.

Medicine is amazing these days if you need it. I did.

We love you. Seems weird, but we do.

Love us back and get some help.

Hi Zigzaogging

I hope you'll check in to let us know how you feel today.

I'm sure there's nothing you haven't done that I haven't too - I felt like a disappointment to everyone too - but most of all to myself..

But I turned that around. Potential can be utilised.
Reputations can be rescued.

No one is beyond hope

D

Hi Zig, you really are worth it. Please reach out to the pros for help. We all get down at times and there's nothing wrong with asking for a little help. Your pups need you, the world needs you, and SR needs you. Sending some love your way!

Hey Zig, hang in there.

I see you're in Kent, so the Samaritans is a great resource to talk things out, it's also freephone from a landline - 116 123

A few years ago I was where you appear to be right now Zig. But I held on and things did get better--in fact, much better.

I believe they can get better for you too. If you haven't already done so, I strongly suggest you at least talk to your Dr. about how you're feeling.
