... ashamed to live like this.

[Tears_n_TX]

Depression has crippled my life & I haven't been in a good place for so long. Years ago... many, many years ago, I became an Addict & subsequently lost everything. When I finally got sober, I thought things would magically get better, but they just got worse. They continue to get worse with each passing day, with no end in sight. I've lost my family... my friends gave up, too. My husband divorced me shortly after my mom died, so I feel utterly alone in this world. I've survived 2 suicide attempts in the past 2 years & I still think about that a lot. I lost my job & health insurance, so I can no longer afford treatment. It feels hopeless. In fact, I feel ashamed that I live like this. I'm hoping to find some like-minded individuals here who can offer hope, or even just lend an ear. Thanks for reading this.

Hey there, I'm glad you made it here. It sounds like you're hurting terribly right now, but you were able to get here and find others with similar struggles. Please don't be ashamed- you're not alone. I'll share free resources as I find them and we'll get through this. Nice to meet you, and I hope to see you around soon!

Hi Tears,

I wish things were better for you. I'm sorry that that hasn't happened for you. I'm here if you ever need to vent or maybe talk. Whatever you need.

You came here and you shared beautifully please do not feel such shame. You're actually showing love to yourself by even coming here and that's wonderful. Definitely can understand you are in a rough patch but first just take time to breathe and help your energy to focus and support yourself in this time of depression. Many online free resources have helped me including this site - and there should be clinics that can accommodate you during this time if you are looking for medicine too - start the search and the journey now and relief will hopefully come

To you even sooner than you expect it. Take care!
