Not mentally feeling great

Recovery
#1

Not mentally feeling great. I have found myself feeling very out of it and lonely. I try to keep a smile on my face, but I'm doing it for people around me. I keep trying the fake it until you make it. But sometimes it's rough to get out of a funk. But im staying sober. I know everyday won't be good, but there has to be some good in everyday. I just have to find it and hold onto it.

I hear you. You got this. Try picking out one activity you genuinely enjoy doing and reward yourself this week with it. Right now I told myself if I make it through the week I’ll get a massage. Here if you need to talk.

I hear you. I suffer depression and anxiety. I been sober for 21 days and my anxiety has been bad. I was drinking to self medicate but, bad things happened and I lost everything including not having a place to stay. Luckily, my daughter took me in. Now, just waiting for an opening at the homeless shelter. I just got to have faith that everything will work out. Hang in there. Things will get better.

Hey Rita,

You and I have simular dual diagnosis and situations. Anxiety/depression, self medicating. I'm happy you have your daughter for support. I'm currently living in my car. All of this has to get better eventually, I hope.
