what is the difference from being drunk and depressed and being sober and depressed? i just have the realization that there are things i will never have again in my life because of my age and it depresses the ever loving heck out of me. i realize that i will never have a family ever again, my kids have been taken and the system wont give them back to me. i realize now at 40 that women are not attracted to me as they once were back in my twenties so that is something else i will never have again. if i have to live every [B]BLEEPIN[/B] day alone i might as well be drunk, going to counseling and taking medication isnt going to help me. sitting on this website for years and years is not going to put a smile on my face, more like a frown. i also realize that i will never love myself, i dont know what it feels like, how am i suppose to know? sometimes i wonder what my purpose is in this BULL-ONEY life because i am sick of living alone. sitting here every day and doing nothing sober, id rather be drunk. at least i would be doing something, unproductive or not it is something. the only way i will ever have any sort of affection will be winning the lottery and buying women to talk with me. you can laugh at me for saying that all you want, but that is the true reality of society and if you dont think so then your living in a fantasy world.
In one direction you look, you see all that you have lost. But there is a direction from which your whole life is coming. If you are stuck on the past, you will not see your present. How it is now is not the way it is always going to be. There are choices you can make that will create differences. Are you willing for things to be different? Are you willing for there to be change? Because that is all it takes to get into action that will MAKE those changes.
Forty is not very old. Way too early to quit and sit. If you would like to talk more about this over the net, just reply. I am not hard to find.
I wish you peace for your heart.
