I’m With You
Try this...read some of my journal entries..... as you read, take note of the people who seem to comment on my journal on a regular basis...... now, go read some of their journals (these people, you'll see are working at recovery on a consistant basis)..... maybe you'll spot some stuff in this exercise that'll give you some ideas on how to get your own recovery better organized...... heck, maybe you'll even meet some new friends
Hug

Support Groups
Close Depression Supporters
I have been living with depression since I can remember. My earliest memory of feeling sad/depressed and just not good about myself is 5 years of age. I am now 47 and don't feel any different. I have attempted suicide multiple times in my lifetime. I was sexually abused 1st by my brother since my early years and then abuse began at age 11 with a family friend. My parents were never there for me and always considered me the bad one. When they found out about the abuse it was my fault.
Close Gambling Addiction & Recovery
I have been gambling on and off for 15 years now. Mostly on. I think I took two years off when I hit my first rock bottom. I see myself getting back to that rock bottom. Spending my bill money to go and gamble. My family is no way supportive of me. I won't even talk with them about it as they will just make me feel like a bad person. Basically I am alone in this. I want this horror movie to stop.
Treatments
- Distancing Considering
- I actually decided to move away from my current location (WA) to get away. I have a job where I am moving to (CA) and as far as I know, or care to find out, any gambling is hours away so this should help.
