Dang, I'm glad I didn't go with my original response of that whenever I've hit rock bottom, I look at those pics of Sampson at Celebration Station that were posted and realize I'm not at rock bottom.

I am too lazy to try hard enough to hit rock bottom

Try doing something different. Anything. Like the smallest thing. It's the act of doing something that helps. Close the computer. Go outside. Just lay on the ground. Whatever. Go talk to a bartender. Go to the library. Call an old friend. Go to the bookstore, coffee shop, whatever. Anything. Run! Kick! Jumping jacks!
Sure, you have to push yourself to do it. You usually don't want to do anything but that just makes things worse. Something tiny will get the ball rolling. You can't figure it all out in one day, or two or hell, years but you have to get started so you aren't just wallowing anymore.

Woke up one day on the northside of Chicago and it was all gone man. Thought about it all for about 72 hours to be honest.
I stayed alive back then because my grandparents were still alive. How selfish would that have been?
Man... You have a son. We should all be so lucky. Nut up.

I can't find that pic anywhere or I'd give it to you again for the next time you're ab to jump off a cliff. Here's this for a replacement: Posted on 6/26/14 at 4:02 pm to GEAUXmedic

The last decade has been rock bottom. I struggle everyday not it do something I can't undo. The only reason I haven't done something stupid is because of my daughter, parents, and friends. I hate my life 99% of the time but I do it to myself

yeah, that's what you do.
I say you owe it to others because there is going to be a time when they need you.
you might not always get what you are looking for from others when you are struggling but a lot of times its just a personal struggle within yourself that you have to fix.
until you realize that, people's words mean nothing.

thanks
right now, not "rock bottom" (but who the frick knows at times)
I've been fortunate to have people support, so that's kind of a motivation. if i can fight through the issues, i sure hope to see others do it.
good input

I feel you man. I'm still in a pretty big rut bc of poor decisions. But we're both going to be huge success stories our next 28 years

I've been there two or three times, where I really contemplated saying "frick it" and giving up. If not for my kids, I probably would have. I'm thankful now that I have a beautiful woman who loves me. I've come to realize that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I can definitely understand why so many people takes their lives, though. This world ain't all it's cracked up to be sometimes.

Talk to a health care professional or perhaps clergy.You will establish this contact and have someone that is skilled in helping you to talk to when and if you need help. They can help you put things into perspective when the "seeing" isn't so easy.You are worthwhile to more people than you realize. Be good to yourself-you deserve it. Hang in there-things will be ok. Truly.

watch lone survivor... that movie is an inspiration.

Medic, I've been there man. I'm probably going through some of the most difficult challenges I've ever had right now so just know that you aren't alone. You have been given some really good advice in this thread. Let your son be your motivation and take it one day at a time. Try to live in the present moment and watch your thoughts and emotions as they come up. Realize that they don't represent reality. Cultivate positive habits like exercise and meditation and keep the substances to a minimum. Have faith and remember the worm always turns.

Yes. My children stopped me from giving up.
