i find myself driving aimlessly and wrecklessly tonight hoping that God will take it upon Himself to throw me into a tree so I don't have to do it myself. maybe if i just walked around for a while in a bad neighborhood someone will off me. i have never been this down before ever. if i took a bottle of over the counter sleeping pills would it work? i have no job, no money, no friends... no motivation to care anymore. i give it my all and i am tired of trying.

NO! Don't give into the demon thoughts. I promise I have been where you are, I am where you are. Until last night I had been 36 hrs without food or sleep and I was DESPERATE and that's what led me to this site. Yesterday I didn't get to chat with anyone but I got to read your stories and they inspired me to know that I am not ALONE and I can, by reaching out, be comforted and supported. When you cannot believe in yourself, let others believe in you. When you cannot carry yourself, let others carry you. You will get through this and be able to help others and feel good about yourself. Those that have suffered themselves can make the best councellers of others. You have much to offer. I'm here, call and we will hear you. xx

Sounds like one of those days when you wake up and you are submerge in mud. Can't see the light, all is ugly and cold.
Well.. you know life can be different so you are going to have to have faith on that. Take baby steps and move forward to crawl out of there. Start with this book it may help.
"The power of Now" Eckhart Tolle. Watch him online this monday at 6:00pm pacific time at oprah.com the discussions are very good. It may help.
Hand in there.. have faith, and move forward.

thank you yosem. i will definitely check that out. i often browse the self-help section at the bookstore, but with little money i am scared to waste it on a book that really doesn't help. it is nice to have some recommendations.

I just talked to my doctor about your same feelings. Things will get better. There is always some reason to live. We will eventually find it.
