Depressed
Hi M,
This is hard there is no questioning that. If your feeling very depressed (which I am also) please seek help. Read about it and what you can do to make it better. My therapist wants to to take a class of my choosing. I decided on yoga and signing up this week.
This is very hard but you can do this!

Nothing is as important as we think it is while we are thinking about it. In other words, thoughts that are currently in our heads are naturally given excess weight on our emotions.
It makes us forget that how we feel today will change in the future. You've been happy before. You'll be happy again. Don't lose sight of that. It's easy to do when you get lost in the bad moment.
Be well.

Murrryah dig deep down and be strong. Things will get better and you need to believe that.
Seek help if this feeling is really bad. There is light in your future and it is worth fighting for.
Hang in there!

We in recovery have a vast amount of
information, resources to use to help
us achieve health and a good quality
of life to live to the best of our ability.
So many of us experience darkness in
our lives due to our illnesses. It's has
nothing to do with us being bad people
because we are not. We all have so many
awesome qualities within us that make
us fine, caring, loving people.
The illnesses within us is caused by
our own makeup within our bodies.
When we add toxins, poisons, drugs,
alcohol, all the bad stuff in there, it
affects our minds, bodies and souls.
Until we seek professional help from
our physicians, councilors, those doctors
that can look inside our bodies to see
what is causing those chemical imbalances
that make us feel bad, not think rationally,
feeling of despair, depression, anxiety, then
we will remain stuck in that illness.
The doctors are there to help each of
us for whatever ails us. Then we have
our recovery programs to teach us ways
to live each day without narcotic or habit
forming drugs and alcohol.
We, ALL of us have those resources
at our finger tips to reach for to help
us achieve a healthy quality of life.
If we don't know where to look or who
to ask then we come here to SR or friends,
or someone for help and suggestions to
guide us each step of the way as we
look for answers and the right folks to
help us.
We, ALL of us never have to go thru
lifes ups and downs alone in our lives
ever again. We are here for you.
JUST ASK and you will receive.

Mrrryah, there is some great advice above. You can make it through, and as Sharon points out, there are a lot of resources available for you.
From my recent experience, the depression is a direct result of the withdrawal. It is not easy, but only temporary. This is not how life will always be, but you must get through this period to get healed.
Look up PAWS, there are some great posts on here about it. Make yourself comfortable, or if you have the energy, get out and distract yourself. You can do this!

Mrrryah, I've been where you are before depression can be crushing.
Here are some things that have worked for me in no particular order:
-Exercising
-Eating healthy
-Talking to somebody
-Therapy
-Anti-depressants
-Hanging out with people I like
Just remember a lot of people care about you, please take good care of yourself.

Hi M,
You are going through a natural part of your recovery which all of us have gone through. You are not unique. Congrats on your courage to hold on . I hear you.. I have been there . It is tough...but believe me "this will pass too".
You are paying the price for sobriety. And comparing the amount of happiness and blessings you will gain by sobriety , this depression is not a big deal . You re buying a treasure so cheap . trust me

I am thinking of the movie "Starman", in which Karen Allen's character says something like we are at our best when things are at their worst. I hope you get out of the funk you are in and can have a better life. I look at your picture, if that is indeed you, and think what a beautiful woman you are. I bet you have a lot to offer in this life, and have a purpose for being here, as I believe we all do. Don't give up. Fight! (((HUGS)))
