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...
Oblivion, sounds good, yeah, right, if only, that's realy going to help your son, how do you think that's going to affect him? It sure as hell ain't going to make him feel any better.
We all have to hit rock bottom before we can start the long climb back up again, that's the hardest part but you CAN do it, sure you will slip back a few times but that will only make you more determined to try again, remember your not alone, at least your talking to folk on here and that's a big step, keep talking while there's dialog there is always hope my friend.
hang in there.
growing up with a depressed
mother, and unavailable father.
I can listen. I can apologize.
I can not go back and do it over. It is hard. My son is all the family I have, so I understand your loneliness.
Well, I have siblings, but they want nothing to do with me. Do not give up. We never know what might be right around the corner. Hang on.
Talk, write, keep in touch with others on DS. Hope I helped. If not, just ignore my blabbering. LOL
I'm sorry that you are going through this with your son; don't give up! He will need you, just be there for him when he does. You seem like you have been a good father, so he will come around. As a child of parents who gave up on her at a very early age, I just don't see u as the type to give up! Hope this helps a little.
