Hi Cheese. I know - some days are just S**t, and some days are even worse! From what I know of your story, you've lost your job, so been unemployed for a couple of months, you've lost connection with your children and you've lost connection with your friends, so you stay at home all day trying to escape by sleeping and isolation. What have I missed?

What exactly is the situation you want to get out of? Is it staying in bed? Is it being lonely? Is it not being supported/helped? Is it not having a job? Is it all of these? These may sound trivial, but it's very important to get these questions answered - what is it EXACTLY that you WANT? When we're depressed, we get overwhelmed by everything, so we end up being enveloped in this thick fog of despair. However, it's important to be able to compartmentalize the specific challenges and deal with them one-by-one. It's the 'You eat an elephant one bite at a time' scenario.

So, I would encourage you to be extremely specific in answering these questions. It will only be then that you will be able to move forward, assuming of course that you want to move forward (I've met people who don't) - nobody can make that decision and those choices for you.

Take care. TR

Hello. Thank you for your comments. I seem to be stuck in an odd place. I had a situation last may and lost my drivers license due to a dwi traffic stop. Since that time I have kind of hid myself from the world not wanting people to learn of my troubles. it cost a lot of money and was very hard to deal with. Now I have lost my job and that adds to my troubles. I try to apply for new jobs but I am unsure how to get around and be reliable to an employer, or how to even talk about my situation and still look valuable to them. Since may of last yr I used car services like uber and family help to get to work each day. My driving situation upsets me quite a bit and weather or not I should talk about it with people I do not wish for people to know about it. A week before the DWI I had purchased and older corvette for a lot of money and now that is weighing me down as I cannot sell it due to what I owe on it, I also had a leased car that I turned in and that was costly also. I feel like a failure and I am worried about my parents more than myself as they are old and worried about things and they need help and I am not able to help much. I had to move in with them and it is not a good thing. I am sure something will work out but I am under the thumb of others due needing to rely of them and It is too hard for me.

It sounds like you're struggling through life and you're looking for a way out. Please don't give up on yourself

Sometimes it helps to talk about it.. Do you possibly have a therapist or someone who you've met that's been in your situation. If you want to message me youre more than welcome. Though I haven't been through your situation I'm always here to talk.
much love <3

Thank you all for your help. I will do my best to not take up anyones time though. Thank you.

Hi Cheese- How are you now? I hope things are doing well today.
I hope you will not give up even though you cannot see a way. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Whatever happened in the past, I hope you will be able to move forward. Things may be difficult right now, I hope you will keep going knowing that there is hope. You will be in my prayers.

Keep us posted, you are not alone. Take care and God bless.

Hellp. I am still here. Not the best time Ive ever had though. I seem to be in a very bad spot. Cant find a job. Cant drive so I feel trapped amd it will just get worse I think. It is getting to be too hard for me.
