Thanks. Just rather not deal with this life anymore. I got sober for myself and have achieved nothing

I'd rather be dead

You’re in a very dark place right now. I know for a fact, because I’ve been there, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You can’t see it right now, but it’s there. If you can take baby steps toward it, you will eventually begin to see a little glow. It takes a lot of strength, courage, and faith to take these baby steps, but we are here to take them with you. We have been to depths of darkness. We know the way out. Take our hands and let us pull you out.

First let me mirror what Lee said. I have been where you are and there is a light coming. The use a cliche, it's always darkest before the dawn. Keep moving forward, the gains you have made may not appear to you now but they are there. I had a moment where I looked in fron of me and all I saw was the wall I had been pushing against, but when I looked behind I saw the miles I had put down.

Sometimes our gains are only visible in the rear view mirror

Your presence in this world matters. I think there are a lot of people here who can identify with feeling this way, now or in the past. We’ve clawed + fought our way back even when we thought we were in too deep.

We’re here to tell you that we’ll hold on to that hope for you while it’s so heavy.

Hydrate + nourish + rest your body. Even if that is the only the you can manage today just to make it to tomorrow.

Hearing the stories of others has always helped me. You can find a lot here: Blog – TWLOHA

I know it sounds cheesy but also check out the I AM - daily affirmations app:

I’m adding you so you can directly message me. Sometimes a physical release, whether it’s a long talk or cry or walk… whatever….can, even momentarily, unburden the mind. I’m here to listen.

I can relate, I don’t know why but the last few days I have been feeling like I’ve accomplished almost nothing. I don’t know why, and I don’t know why I feel so alone and unwanted by society.

It’s a tough place to be, but know that you are not alone. Please let us know how you’re doing.

I’m glad you told us!
These are feelings that pass, like waves that crash! I feel like there’s no way out, but there is.
How are you now?
Do you have a psychiatrist to call? I just had my meds rechecked because I was feeling hopeless.
The crisis line is hugely helpful-I called a couple months ago!
What’s your self-care like?
Outreach calls? I’m available to talk-I’ve been where you are.
