I am starting to think about ending it, I wouldn't have to deal with money , work problems , being alone. It seems the only way out, I have been on medication, and it help for about three weeks, but now I am having bouts of depression again, anxiety, chest pains. I hate that I lost my job of 23 years, and have to start over, lower job and pay. Dealing with people and there money problems, what problems you have money. What about people who can just meet the bills. Life changes SUCK. Just tired, aleast I am still sleeping. Hate to wake up.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
loosing your job after 23 years would make me very confussed and depressed. I am sorry that happened to you.

i might make you feel better and keep you from actually harming yourself

One of the quotes on the bottom of the chat page reads
"when you get to the end or your rope, tie a knot, and hold on"
Can't remember who said it but he was a very clever man.

I understand the pains.
I was laid off in May after 5.5 years with the company.
Working again, but at an hourly wage worth half what I was making.
And of course my bills didn't feel like reducing themselves so...week to week it's a game of dodge the call, mail the check, pray I can make it to payday without bouncing more than two checks.
in the meantime, my wife and i are splitting up, i'm selling the house, buying a new, smaller place.
i count every day how many pills i have left, knowing my health insurance doesn't kick in until the firt of the year at which time i'll be able to afford renewing my prescriptions.
SHIT.
it all wears at you.
Presses down on you.
just want to escape it all - think about a handful of ambient and some coconut rum, and then a nice long nap.
no more worries. no more fears. no more stress.
just sleep.
peaceful, dreamless sleep.
but it's not the answer. or rather, it's not a good answer.
we have to measure ourselves by the courage it takes to gdet through the days.
we have to think, as hard as it is, about those times when things turn around.
i know how hard it is to be positive, i know how hard it is to have faith, to be hopeful.
we all do.
but we've made it this far you and i, and think it would be nice to see how it all ends.
i like to think there is a lot of good stuff in store for me.
there's my son to watch grow up.
there are my parents to appreciate more and more as people.
there's my brother. my niece.
that new cactus that's supposed to bloom crazy pretty in the spring.
please be strong enough to remember the things that have brought you this far.
and please remember there are people who share your pain.
and are willing to take a little bit on themselves to help you through the low points.
