I feel broken

Hello everyone,


Recently I have been dealing with seperation from family and which I have turned to the bottle. I was out with friends and got incredibly too drunk and smoked marijuana. This is totally out of character and been having panic attacks. I decided that I will quite cold turkey. Now I'm facing massive anxiety with possible random drug testing at work. I understand that I shouldn't have done this. I'm so scared and filled with regret. I have had a rough past and can't seem to get my mind to focus. I feel so ashamed. Thank you for anyone who listens. Much love

If you go to your employer and explained what happened do you think that would help? Maybe if you showed that you truly know it was a mistake it would make a difference. I have no expirince with jobs or anything though so take that with a grain of salt. I'm sorry life has been hard for you I really hope life gets better for you soon. You did good by coming here and venting there's lots of helpful people on this site.

I know what it is like to feel broken. Sometimes I feel together and other times, especially when alone, I feel broken and unhopeful. Let's hope you won't be called to take a test for a while.

I'm here to tell you, your not broken, you just have misunderstandings about your world view which we all do at some point in our lives. Your perfectly fine. You are going through a tough time at the moment but the clouds will shift and blue blue sky will appear again.

Over my decades of recovery from child sex trafficking, I have come to welcome that broken feel as a sign that I am ready, willing and able to make the changes necessary to live a healthier, more balanced life. The changes are seldom as easy as a wish, but they are well worth the effort. Those moments of balanced serenity rock! ! !

You took an important step in reaching out here. May that step lead you to healing places. Welcome aboard. Vent freely. Vent often.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
