Life hits hard

Struggling Help
#1

Lately It’s been a real struggle, my best friend recent had a suicide attempt by pill overdose, thankfully it didn’t work yet now I am back in our hometown dealing with in and out of the hospital being here for her since no one else is around and it’s heavy on my heart…

So much stress and sadness and a blunt would certainly should good lately but I’m 7 days to my 6 months and I keep reminding myself of that.
Leaving nyc was part of keeping myself in check and yet here I am back here driving too much, not sleeping nor eating enough just to be here…

It’s hard af out here but I’m taking it moment by moment, one day at a time.

I just need to hold on until I can get her settled so I can go back home so I can distress off all this.

Prayers would be appreciated :raised_hands::fist::heart:

Sport you’re going thru this struggle. You just recently gave me some very solid advice on a post I made. It had a lot to do with trust and faith. You’ve come so far, now is the time to double down on your daily program of recovery.

High Angie, stay strong. It’s easier said then done but take care of yourself self as well. I can easily forget about my basic needs when a friend needs me. Eat regularly, rest and sleep, pray, talk to your support system. Try to have a positive mind set. My best friend was in ICU, he was battling really hard. I drank, I took pills. I only when visit him once in the hospital in 2 weeks. I only saw him once after he left. He passed 2 months later. I still deal with my regret at times. Your friend needs you to be sober.

Dang I’m sorry Chris… Thanks for the advice I’m surviving on coffee and black and milds and few hours a restless sleep but I’m trying… I will visit this woman everyday until I know she is in a better place of support, even if she’s cursing me out :joy:
