I been sober for 1 month and 19 days and am still depressed and anxious am on medication but is only been 2 weeks so am waiting patiently for the zoloft to kick in and start working so I can get a little relief and is hard when u battling mental illness and trying to stay sober am under a lot of stress right now and my family don’t understand and me son think am just being lazy and don’t want to do nothing and that’s hurting my feelings because usually I would be drunk and doing everything’s without even thinking about it but since being sober my mind is much clear and I can think a little better but still I feel like my brain is foggy am just tired of always feeling like something is wrong with me all the time and I hate feeling like this daily and am just praying for better day’s am going to keep my faith and keep fighting this battle because on have God in my side please pray for me and send encouragement words of hope to keep fighting thank u in advance

You are strong and congrats on your 1 month 19 days sobriety! When you feel overwhelmed, take things one day, one hour, one minute at a time.

I hope you feel some accomplishment for making it this far.

Drink water , take short walks and deep breaths. Even if it’s just inside your home. Sending you encouragement and care and hugs.

Congratulations on your sobriety. One of the worst parts of a mental illness is people can't see it. They don't realize how hard it is just to get out of bed. I remember one time I had convinced myself to get up and sweep my kitchen floor (which is pretty small) I didn't even get half way through before it became too much; both physically and mentally too hard. It's not laziness. It's an inability to function, because we have an illness. Don't listen to what others say. Do the best you can every day and remind yourself your sick not lazy or worthless. It's not forever, just for now.

Awww thank you, I just want to feel normal again my boyfriend talking about leaving me because of my anxiety and depression and that makes me more depressed and anxious

I get it. during my last episode my husband and I discussed a separation because being around each other was becoming toxic for the both of us. Unfortunately there's little you can do to make him stay. Just be sure you have support coming from someone else in case the hard to think about does happen you will need extra love and support from some one to help you through it.
