My mental state is in shambles and all I want to do is pick up some crack. 
I feel defeated. The depression is beyond my control and I need some guidance.

Take a deep breath! Is there NA groups near you?

Ask yourself how much that will actually help. Is there an NA meeting that you can make and be amongst friends?

They are all very far away I'm trying my best to remind myself that it won't help and it will only make things worse.
Play the tape all the way through to the end. Make a 10 item grateful list. Get to a recovery meeting of any kind. And sometimes it’s just a white knuckle… I will not pick up no matter what. I hope a female sees your post and reaches out.

I’ve been there & it’s a waist of money $ & I’m also diagnosed with severe depression & I just try to stay positive, have FAITH & believe in GOD or your higher power. Surround yourself with good people, try meetings & definitely a therapist to talk to & theres a lot of support groups on fb or on apps like this. Take one day (sometimes)one minute at a time & remember your very special & important to a lot of people….#staystrong

If you pick up, your mental state will be a lot worse when the high wears off. I know my mental health is in shambles the week after I relapse. If you need someone to talk to you can reach out

Absolutely, once the high is gone you will be in much worse shape than where you are now. Any group meeting would be a blessing for you.

I ended up using the other night. I'm starting all over again, but I almost feel better now that I did it. I feel as if I glorified the actual using part and now that I did it I realize there was no point. And I just need to start strong and keep moving forward. Thank you everyone for reaching out. Here's to day 2 of sobriety.
