Feeling useless, unwanted
You aren’t allow. I’ve been down the past few days too. Good news is things always get better. Keep fighting the good fight.

I'm tired of fighting anything...
I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Maybe take a walk and work on a gratitude list, could help. Baby steps in battling depression work best for me, then build the momentum.

Jeremy, thanks for sharing. Your share reminds me of my early sobriety and using days/years. And now I’m grateful for my sobriety and all of the wonderful people in my life now.
So you are being of use right now! Thanks, truly🙏.
I feel that in my soul. Going through a divorce and remaining sober has got to be one of the hardest things I have and will ever do in my life. One hour at a time!

Lately when im feeling like that I just jump on a zoom meeting, it really does help to make me feel better and know your working towards something everyone’s always, welcoming and happy to have you there. Even if you don’t want to speak/share just hopping on and listening to others might help it does for me.

What?? What's the last part mean??
Feeling unwanted is tough, but you matter to people more than you realize.
I feel less depressed less useless and less unwanted when I’m in gratitude. When I reach out. When I go to meetings. When I pray and ask my HP to take this from me. Start living life don’t get stuck in the walls of your mind. It’s a dangerous place for an addict to be. Getting connected takes you getting out there and putting yourself in the middle! Don’t be scared could save your life.
Stick with the simple things when down - hydrate, eat well and rest, try to read something positive and imagine all the great things you’re going to be able to do when sober - don’t put any pressure on yourself - breathe
I meant by you sharing your experience and struggle, you are being of service to me and others that may be suffering with those feelings too.

Like a hug or a hand shake??
These are moments I have to ask my higher power to take these things .. as simple as asking for help ..talk with another member. I also find my reading over my inventory helps bring it to a place where I'm ready to have god remove the defects affecting me in these dark moments .. I myself struggle lately with my financial security and my wants to be a better father and partner. Sometimes I feel I'm not doing enough and somehow I can fix it with loans and other grandiose ideas. It's in these moments I have to ask God to remove this defect of financial security and ego so that I can be humble and aware that I am doing the best i can ..and that is good
