I couldn't imagine how I could go on but obviously you have found a way up to this point. There are people that will feel abandoned and live their life with a piece missing if you go through with this brother. Live for them until you find the peace to live for you. Please. Praying for you.

Yes. And I'm being completely serious.

You have to find a healthy outlet.

I have before. When I was in my addiction and at my lowest point, I wanted to just end it all, especially my suffering.

But then, I thought how selfish that would be of me. My whole family would be questioning themselves the rest of their lives wondering what they could have done different.

It may seem the easier route to take, but it's not. You have to quit feeling sorry for yourself and fight like hell to make a better life for yourself and subsequently, your family.

I haven't read through this thread yet, but if you need someone to help you with some advice, from someone who has "wanted it all to go away before", email me at secondbreathent@gmail.com

It'll get better, but you can't do it with your current mindset.

I'm tired of trying to stay strong. I've tried for so long. It's always one thing after another. It never ends. I just don't have the strength left and I'm tired.

This is the truth. No matter how bad you think you may have it, I promise it's not as bad as you think and can get better.

Yes. Rather, oftentimes I wish this life was just a bad dream that we could wake up from.

But it's not all bad. All the pain we feel only serves to highlight the good in our lives. Don't lose sight of the good that is there. You have family, friends, who care about you.

We're not designed to stray strong alone.
We were never given the strength to bare life's problems by ourselves.

We were created to need God and thus Jesus.
That is where you find real healing. He will give you "peace that surpasses all understanding." That's contentment that no one can explain.

If you've tried yourself for so long with no success, why not try something different?

Gone on a retreat with people with your similar levels of trauma?

I know life can be a bitch, but also put things in perspective. I don't know your situation, and maybe something like this has happened to you, but they have kids out there fighting cancer. Parents losing their young kids every day to senseless acts or diseases every day. If one of those is your situation, then you need to be strong for others. I know it's hard, but reach down and it'll eventually get better.

If that's not your situation, then whatever it is will pass. It may not seem that way right now, but it will. I've lived it and now type to you as someone who is successful again in life after being addicted to H for years.

Reached out to family and friends?


I understand you are tired, many of us get tired. But 'giving up' just isn't in the cards.... look I'm sure you have been down before but have come across better times. Just ride the wave and try to hold on to those better times when they come and fashion a way to make them more frequent.


All bullshitting aside don't do anything stupid. And you know what I'm talking about. I dropped my email on the first page, feel free to email me to shoot the shite, especially if you start thinking crazy aight

I think of all the times I felt this way and I'm just thankful I never acted on it.

This is the truth.

Reach out to people close to you. The OT can't do too much to help you in real life unless we can contact you.

You need to reach out to friends and family. You may be embarrassed to now, but I guarantee you, they'd much rather you reach out to them, rather than acting on some irrational thought you may currently be having. They'd be happy you did.

Trying to decide whether to just shave it all off or not? Same here. Would be easier if it would all just go away on its own!

Try Tiger Balm or that stuff that Johnny Bench uses OR if those don't work, shoot Heroin.
