The reason

Loner

The reason I will be posting this last post is to tell and inform those with depression how to fix it. You do not need a counsler you do not need to be here to find someone to figure out what is wrong with you or the solution to what you already know the answer is. You know what makes you happy fight for it and go for it no matter what do it, I try to everyday now that I lost my family to my drinking. I will not be able to go back home to them either because of others and their wants for my life. For that I am done with life, I finally found a part of my family tree in which was the best. Now I cannot return for what others think about my character. For that my family is lost... and for that reason alone I am done with life. I just want those out there to hear this, find what makes you happy and don't let anyone stop you from obtaining it, unless it breaks the law in any kind of way then i suggest to not go that route. Also if it is drugs and or alcohol I suggest not to go that route either. I found a place where I was happy and I ruined it by relapsing now I will not be happy again.... FIGHT FOR WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!!!! and find it!!!!

Taking your own advise is hard but you definitely should. You say you ruined it by relapsing. Why not fix it? get clean and go back to what makes you happy. You can't take back your mistakes but you can at least try to make it right.

Do you think anyone will listen if your advice is not good enough to use yourself? There is nothing that you can't regain a life from. Mistakes and relapses happen, humans are imperfect beings and always will be....so you pick up the pieces and you try again. Loved ones get hurt and it takes time to forgive, but eventually they do forgive....you have to allow that time, concentrate on fixing yourself and earn that forgiveness. But hurting your loved ones by killing yourself is not the answer.

Well, it is hard to be happy. Study say to be happy is to have a close relationship. It is really hard to to find a close relationship. Life is hard.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
