I'm thinking about just walking away from it all. I was considering suicide, but I know what that would do to my family. I'm not sure how they would feel if I just disappeared. Things couldn't get much worse than they are. They say you can't run away from your problems, but to just take a freakin break would be nice! I'd rather be homeless and live on the street than to exist in the present situation. I'm emotionally and financially bunkrupt!

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...
I understand tho, have felt people would be better off without me, depression distorted my view.....stick around it will pass, all things pass, but if you disappear, you will be leaving others in a worse place
they love you, even if you can't see that right now
Sit down and have a long hard look at whats going on, and what you can do to sort some of these things out. Sometimes i find it good to stop and look at things and find ways to sort them out, to have some direction and plan of action can help.
I'm not trying to be funny, but if you are emotionally and financially bankrupt, you have absolutely nothing to lose, and the only way is up!
The first step to up might be recognising somthing positive in you life.
Tell me, what is the best thing in your life?
I myself am feeling down and shaken. I give you my deepest sympathy.
Could you take a break for a couple of weeks or months rather than walking away forever?
It's hard to stop long enough to care for ourselves some times. But, unless you are being physcially, emotionally or sexually abused, try not to make any rash decisions while at your lowest. Please seek professional help.
My Mom is my biggest problem, health and caretaker wise. I am trying my hardest to get through the process of having her put in a nursing home, but it takes so many forms and records. I hope I can last through this.
I know your pain. You are not alone, by any means. Hang in there - the alternative is so darn permanent.
I really wish there was a hotel to check in to when you want to "check out from life" but return when you think it is safe. There isn't one that I know of.
What about counselling? It does help. Just doesn't take care of it completely. You have to do the work. Ugh! I know!
Hugs to you and all of us in the grand struggle of life.
family is most important, not money or anything else...so if anything hang in there for your family until you start feeling better. why dont you go on a vacation? even if its just one day off from work doing something you enjoy?
