Desperate

[Dgango]

I have no friends. No job, no motivation. I used to check in to the psych-ward just for a change. Aside from the strip search it's ok.Im getting over a wicked car crash from 2 years ago. I feel like my time is up. Could someone please respond?

[Hidden]

Hi Dgango, do you have ptsd from the car crash 2 years ago?

[Dgango in reply to Hidden]

I don't remember the crash, but the 3 weeks in hospital were ugly. Drunk drivers don't get a lot of sympathy. I should be grateful no one else was hurt. Still drinking ( not driving)

[Hidden in reply to Dgango]

I see. Are you addicted to alcohol?

[Dgango in reply to Hidden]

Yes, resistant to treatment.

[Isinatra in reply to Dgango]

Have you tried AA? I’m a recovering alcoholic. Wasn’t able to seriously sober up until I was 53 after many discouraging attempts. AA saved my life. As long as you are alive, there is hope. ❤️🏄‍♀️

[Dgango in reply to Isinatra]

I have been in and out of AA for decades. Most I ever had was 3 and a half years. Have not gone to a meeting in 2 years.

[Isinatra in reply to Dgango]

Good to hear re your experience with AA. Maybe the next time it will stick.❤️🏄‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to Dgango]

I’m sorry to hear that. Addiction is a hell on earth & relapse is a part of recovery for many. I’m glad you’re no longer driving though. What injuries did you have from the car crash?

[Dgango in reply to Hidden]

Two broken collar bones, 2 broken ribs, 2 broken vertabrae, broke knee cap, broken heel, broken hip.

[Hidden in reply to Dgango]

Wow, that’s a lot. Welcome to the site. I hope you find what you’re looking for. Good luck.

[Hidden]

I could share with you my beliefs in God that help me when I'm desperate.

[Dgango in reply to Hidden]

Please do.

Hi there,

How is it going today? What is your strength? What is your favourite colour? How do you want love? How do you give love?

[Dgango in reply to Starlove]

My foot hurts bad. The beers aren't doing it for me. Love orange. I think my love receiver is broken. I give love to my cat.

[Starlove in reply to Dgango]

I am sorry you felt pain yesterday. Orange is a particular colour to enjoy, that is so unique and awesome! Some people do not give credit to this colour. I want to express my care and give you love by demonstrating how awesome you are even if we do not know each other.

[Isinatra]

Are you still in a lot of pain from the accident? Do you feel you might benefit from therapy (psychological)?❤️🏄‍♀️

[Dgango in reply to Isinatra]

My foot hurts alot . I was going to a therapist up until about a year ago. I guess I can find another one. Psychologically, I have so many issues, it's hard to know where to start .

[Isinatra in reply to Dgango]

If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, take a little positive step and seek out therapy again. The rest will unfold as it should. And you already know which path to take. Give life another chance. ❤️🏄‍♀️

Hey Dgango, from your op it seems like you're letting your negative thoughts spiral into hyperbole. I agree with Isinatra, if you're still here then there is still hope. Consider going back to AA. Consider getting a therapist to help with the negative thoughts or go back to your "toolbox" and deconstruct that destructive thinking.Prayers bro.

[Dgango in reply to SirGrits]

Hmmm I thought only shame spiralled. Just a joke. I will look at what I wrote and see what was hyperbole...mañana.

Hi, I understand your situation. About 3 years ago, I was making a left turn and a car crashed into me right behind me in the driver's side. Luckily I wasn't hurt but now I'm like a spooked horse, sometimes even riding in the passenger seat makes me nervous. I do drive my mom's car sometimes and I'm saving up for another used car that I might get in another month or two. I miss driving my own car, sometimes if I'm riding with my 78 year old mom, she wants to put on all this classical music and Frank Sinatra and I'm about to fall asleep here!!!! Really I should be the one driving her, I just get so nervous making left turns now.

Dear Googoo, even though We’re Strangers In the Night, I Get A Kick Out of You. But Come Rain or Come Shine, The Best Is Yet To Come. 😁❤️

[Hidden in reply to Isinatra]

Thank you!!!!!

[Isinatra in reply to Hidden]

😉👍🏼

[Dgango]

Thanks, I like the sound of small planes. My older brother was a pilot and would tell me about the planes we saw when I was a kid.

[Dgango]

Thanks, sorry I didn't reply sooner. Sir Grits' post made me mad. I guess he thought my post exaggerated my situation. Anyway, tell me about panic disorder. It sounds scary .

[Dgango]

No sweat. What did you do today?

[Dgango]

Wow, I can't even imagine myself with a baby. I guess I would have had to grow up and be responsible. Is valpo in Indiana?

[Dgango]

Cool! I have a baby too! Miss Kitty. My favorite friend.
