You need to see a professional. Your daughter's world will be better with her father in it.

Wake up each day and write down three things you are grateful for...it can be anything, a cup of coffee, warm house, etc. Find someplace to give of yourself, go to food bank or food line to give your time. Go see your therapist today!! People care about you, time you cared about yourself!!

Hang in there pal. The clouds will soon clear. More people love you than you will ever know and more will love you in the future. Fight everyday for survival and live to teach others how you overcame your demons. You can do this. You have to!

You need to tell your therapist this. You need to tell a friend this.

Sounds like you need inpatient therapy. You need to be pulled back down to earth off of that ledge (literally) and put on a medication and therapy regimen.

TT08, seek help. That's not a weakness. See a medical doctor who can prescribe depression pills. I have been taking them for 20 years.

Seek a counselor, too. If you are low on funds the United Way offers counseling for modest fees. You have to talk to someone who will listen. They can help.

Chin up,bud. Its rough but if you work at it,you'll turn this around.

You have to take ownership of your life, and reverse any and all bad habits, bad routines, everything. You have to develop good mentally and physically healthy routines. Diet, nutrition, exercise, healthy endeavors and interactions, enjoying life by doing positive and fun things.

Life can be hard but often it’s just a switch in your mind that you have to consciously switch to be better every day.

The good news is good habits can be hard to break just like bad ones.

1. Gym
2. Clean diet
3. No booze or drugs

I'm not saying that those will necessarily solve all of your problems, but I've never heard of them making things any worse. Nobody has ever looked back on sobriety and fitness and regretted it. Besides, the exercise will release chemicals that improve mood and sleep duration/quality.

Make a young friend and teach him how to fish. He/she will have great time and learn something. You will get outdoors and it will do you some good. Also, you will get joy from the experience...joy and hope are close cousins.

If your ex is as bad as you say, and I believe she is, your daughter is going to need at least one good parent. You owe it to her to have a good male influence in her life to counteract her mother and the inevitable carousel of losers she will go through over the next 20 years.

#1 - do you have enough income to pay ur bills?

If so,

#2 - go find a cause to help. Anything. Sit with old people. Volunteer at a teens shelter. Anything to where YOU are helping OTHERS.

Commit to doing that consistently- daily if you can. Weekly at least.

Regardless of your relationship with your ex, your daughter needs a father. Be there for her.

Man, no woman is worth ending your life over. I had a tough situation with my gf at the time earlier this year. Definitely some tough days and long nights but, the thought of suicide never entered my mind. As hard it was to act on it, I knew my best revenge would be to keep moving forward and living my best life. It took all of 8 months for her to message me saying she'd made a mistake and was miserable. Though I can't say I don't sometimes miss her, sending that GFY text back was incredibly satisfying.

Get up and get moving.

Add volunteering and doing something for someone who can't do it themselves...go to a soup kitchen, the local Ronald McDonald house, plenty of places. Get out of your own head and problems and keep moving forward.

If nothing else consider this...you have posted this on a message board that is noticeably cynical yet every poster has responded positively. Seriously that says something about people and our capacity to put aside our own issues when we find someone truly hurting. You say no one cares but you have a bunch of strangers on a message board more or less devoted to giving one another a hard time over college football offering their help and advice...you are not alone you just gotta get out of your own mind and keep moving forward.

This might help, but when I was dealing with depression it turns out I was vitamin D deficient. I used to be outside all of the time, but then when I started working and being in an office most of the day, several years later I wasn't getting enough vitamin D (which is why I think working all day in an office is no way to live. WFH is better IMO because I go outside more..

But check that VD situation out.

As for as people giving a shite about you. Don't let that determine your worth. You have a daughter coming. frick the ex-wife, but you have someone that was created from you about to enter the world. You got to be around to be the best dad possible for her. The relationship between you and your ex-wife doesn't matter. I am sure its going to be trying, but damn that has to be somewhat exciting right?
