Gotta just gut it out Changed again. Wasn't looking for something here; or maybe was. What is amazing is the reaction of about a dozen or so strangers... or fellow people... in a short few minutes. Feeling like a drama queen. Gotta hang there; not easy. Sorry for being a pussy. Seriously, complete strangers encouraging me. Why? Really why? Don't ever discount your value of an encouraging sentence to a stranger. It can make a difference. It did tonight. I feel like a weak little bitch; but a grateful weak little bitch. Gotta sleep. But really thank you...everyone who jumped in before I could even set my phone down. You made a difference tonight. |
This is a blueberry pancake. I made this last weekend with a half dozen more. First time I have ever made these. My son wouldn't eat it, my daughter wouldn't eat it, my wife wouldn't eat it. I tried to, but I don't like blueberries, so I threw them out and made a dozen plain pancakes. My kids were thrilled and it only took ten minutes. Are you going to get upset about a blueberry pancake or are you going to take a few moments and fix the problem? |

IN, you going to loose your guns if you keep talking like that. OP you need to talk to someone, be it someone on here, an anonymous hotline or best a friend. I know the problem is all consuming right now, but it won't be permanent. Don't make it permanent. Calmer seas lie ahead, all you have to do is weather the storm for a little while. |

Life does suck. We as humans typically remember bad things far easier than the good.
I remember wanting to kill myself years ago. Hell, I almost did. That 3.5lb trigger felt like it was 20lbs. But something stopped me. Less than a week later some of the best things to ever happen to me happened. Hang in there. Things can only improve if you have truly hit rock bottom. |

Welcome back OP..now. take a minute and tell us about life...lets hear it...  Dammit but parenting is hard. No easy route. Too weak or too stubborn to give up. Thanks again for encouragement all!! |

I didn't read your post but glad you got good advice and quickly deleted it. There is so much to live for, so much to explore in this world. Maybe it's time for a change of scenery?
I don't know your circumstances -- just throwing a spitball here -- but I would suggest trying something new. A new path can work wonders. It did for me 30 years ago when I realized I was on the wrong road. I moved into the mountains out west and life radically changed for the better. I left everyone behind, especially friends who were dragging me down. ETA: Glad ARFCOM could be of service tonight. I now know that you have children so my advice above is moot. The principal remains the same though. Find something new and interesting to put in your life. |

Oh my gosh thank you for this reminder. It was from the Gospel and sermon this past Sunday. Quoted:

Then God probably really wants you to meditate on this verse. When things are going tough, look to the above first.. But also, if you need encouragement, or just to vent, there are many good folks here |
| At least you're not a flamboyently gay black guy in solitary in prison that desperately wants a cellmate but won't get one that is fighting a tough case and will probably see hard time in an environment that doesn't really welcome flamboyently gay black men that also frequently breaks down and cries whenever he doesn't get what he wants. Life really sucks for that guy. |

In my years, I have been up and down the waves more times than I like to remember, but I always kept going, I was not going to give into the failure, the pain and such is terrible, but I could never leave that thought with my family and friends that I gave up.
Each and every time it is a battle, but each and every win, is closer to the ultimate victory and I am going to be victorious in my life and OP I am sure you will also be victorious in your battles and ultimately the war will be won. Just keep fighting, onward and forward and never look back, you have the future in your bank and the past has been spent and you need to see what is on the other side of every single one of those hills! Just remember every day is worth it, and every challenge is a learning opportunity. Get some sleep, relax and ease your mind. We got your 6!
