re: .

Dunno if it's good or bad when these threads are made an OP never responds to anything.

Seems like as the OT gets older, these threads have been more common.

I been there man. Just hang tough. Things get better little by little if you keep your faith and keep plowing

Hang in there brother, faith is one key thing. God says he will not give you a cross you cannot carry. This too shall pass.

Other things to concider and friends here have pointed out:

- Exercise (walking if nothging else)
- Diet, try lowering your carb intake and eliminate most sugars and processed foods
- Medication, I was so against this for so long until I was diagnosed with OCD (very bad intrusive thoughts) and I finally broke down and tried an SSRI which was a game changer for me. This may or may not be for you but worth the discussion
- Good sleep, all the above can have an effect on this so fix those and get better sleep. Your mental health will benefit from this alone.


Prayers to you my friend, hang in there. Problems are temporary.

go see your doc and get some "don't give a shite" meds.

1. You are not alone.
2. Watch what you tell people (good and bad. People judge no matter what).
3. Move you body, don't let it stagnate.
4. Plan something YOU look forward to. A trip. A sit on the couch all day at watch retarded TV, buy something you want.
5. Read the bible.
6. Distract yourself. Find something you are interested in and go down a rabbit hole researching it.
7. Do something you don't like to do. Clean the house, go for a 5 mile run. Whatever it is. Struggle is sometimes good for the soul. Especially when the struggle is over and you "accomplished" it.

Say brah, the formula isn’t hard, but it takes discipline.

Get to the gym. Work out. Create achievable goals in the gym. Keep working to achieve those goals.

Downsize. Figure out ways to reduce your footprint. Save. Make your finances a priority.

If you are drinking, stop. If you are using other substances, stop.

Meet women. Every no is closer to a yes. Talk to women in the grocery store. Talk to women at church. Talk to women wherever you are.

Hang out with your buddies. If you don’t have buddies, go to a cigar shop and meet some buddies. Or maybe the gym, meet some there.

Cats,

I think you can see that the OT cares and has been there. There are ups and downs in life. Be excited for the up that has not shown up.

1. If it’s a job find a new one.
2. If it’s financial read Dave Ramsey even though many don’t agree with him.
3. If it’s health do what you can to improve, diet, exercise
4. If it’s something else help others and you will see that you have it pretty good along with helping someone less fortunate.
5. Pick up a hobby you love

Thoughts and Prayers

I am going to give you a couple of books by an author that I suggest that you check out. His name is Gary Zukav and the books are The Seat of the Soul and Universal Human. Start with the first one. It will give you a lot of insight into deep psychological and emotional mechanisms of human beings and how they operate. Listen to some of his YouTube videos and keep an open mind. Just keep taking it one day at a time. Find out who you really are and what makes you tick.

I dont even want to post this because i know how the OT is, but i know theres some good people out there.
The last 3 years have been a nightmare for me. I have had nothing go my way. I've lost about everything and keep getting hurt over and over. Every time I feel like life might turn around, I get ran over by something else. I have kept my faith, but don't even know if I'm loved or cared about. I pray all day every day and don't get anywhere. Lately I'm either crying myself to sleep or just numb. I'm starting to be angry to the ones I love and co workers and can't stop myself from doing so. I tried counseling and it didnt work. If I wasn't a Christian, I honestly dont think I would be here right now.
I've honestly hit rock bottom and I don't know how to get out and I don't feel that I ever will.

Any advice would be appreciated
TIA

Firstly and very importantly know that you are 100% not the only person going through this right this second.

Always keep the faith. Prayer is great but action must follow.
