I Forget How To Respect And Love Life

Have big time depression, wanting to drink/drug it away but I'm here. Nothing that comes does not go away. I really could use kind thoughts today. I think I just wrote a sad rock song. I think the great lyric there should be laughter after pain. Just posting I feel better. Thanks all. Skip the booze today. +

((Fitz)) - sorry you are feeling so low. I get those days, days when I don't want to get out of bed, days when I think about how it would be nice to just "numb" it all away.

I refuse to let those days last. Like you, I've worked hard for my clean/sober time. I'm still dealing with consequences of when I was using and I'll be damned if I'm going to do something to cause MORE bad consequences.

I stay close to SR, when I feel this way. I read the posts of those who have gone back out and realize it's just not worth it.

Lots of hugs and prayers,

Amy

Glad you're here, Fitz. Is there anything you like to do that helps ease the depression? A walk even? Sometimes I find a swing set - there's something carefree about swinging. I always feel better afterwards.

I've read some of your posts before - you strike me as being incredibly genuine. (hug)!

Hi Fitz. I feel a little down when the seasons change. Not sure why. I hope your mood lifts and you begin to feel hopeful again.

Depression for me seems to come from living either too much in the past or trying to live too far into the future , focus on the now .

Bestwishes, M

Yeah, you should skip it. It won't help. Why not tell us something you plan to do this weekend other than that?

Glad you feel better today. Must have been something in the air yesterday, I nearly drank. So happy neither one of us did. Take care.
