Please just remember one important thing that I’ve really come to realize over the past few years: your life doesn’t belong just to you. It belongs to everyone who loves you, everyone who’s life you touch.

Please know that life is worth living. It may be a series of peaks and valleys, and you may be in a valley right now. But there will be peaks again.

May God bless you brother. Stay strong.

This right here tells you that all is not lost. You may have made mistakes, but you are still a big cuddly bear/iron man hero to your daughter. As long as you have her love, everything else can be fixed with time. Yes, it is harder to correct mistakes than make them, but take things one at a time and things will get better. In the meantime, see someone who specializes in mental health and get yourself in the right frame of mind. It is never ever too late, friend.

That little girl needs her daddy. The importance of a loving father in a little girl’s life cannot be overstated. I can tell from your post you love your daughter. Use that love you have for her to give you the strength to get the help you need so you can be there for her.

We are all tired these days buddy. This world can/is a cruel place at times. You just have to fight and tell yourself today is going to be better than yesterday.

the only thing that cheered me up today is my daughter looking at me at dinner time saying I love u

Here is your motivation. It is your daughter.....You need to get the help you need not only for yourself, but for this little girl. There is ZERO shame in asking for help when you get to this point! ZERO!


Hope you can get it together bud and turn things around.

The fact that I see you’re online is a HUGE win. Lord made us as providers and protectors of our families, loss of job feels as though you’re failing(personal experience not judgement).
It’s a feeling, those pass, keep going and feelings will catch up. None of us is the sum of our mistakes, that’s a lie. PLEASE speak to someone trusted now as many have said. You’ve mentioned your daughter saying she loves you, she didn’t say I love your old job or things you get me she loves YOU.
My man, you’ve got anonymous people from all walks of life and different parts of the world telling and showing you love. Receive it.
I pray that God blesses, keeps and showers mercy on you and your family spiritually, emotionally and physically this day and all the MANY days of you/your life/lives.

May God keep you and hold you. May you understand that this is not the answer. Your daughter needs you to be there and you can.

It's time you answer some questions for everyone. These questions and answers can lead to clarity for all to help and a brighter future for you.

Where do you live?
How old are you?
Are you married?
If not, who do you live with?
What line of work did you lose your job in?
What type of wrongs in your past haunt you?
Do you drink? Any drugs you resort to?

Please look for help with friends and family.

I've lost 2 of my best friends in my life to suicide.

One of them posted here. His name was Snoozer.

I miss these guys every day of my life sir. Your absence in this world will not make it better for those that love and care for you.

No one is a bigger sack of shite than me. I’ve made numerous mistakes and often the same mistake over and over. I promise God that I won’t do X again, but sure as the sun im back to my mistakes. You’re right, suicide is the easy way out. For YOU! It’s the beginning of generational issues for everyone else though. Do you want ur daughter living a life of unnecessary guilt if u chose that ending? Do u want the rest of ur family to continually mourn? I heard once that suicide is like a terrorist bombing. Those closest to the one who kills him/herself are going to get destroyed.
I’m the worst human to ever exist, but the sun still comes up each morning. God still loves me. And if I can make it, anyone can make it.
Get help. Get God. He knows everything you have done but still loves you.
Don’t destroy ur life and those around u just bc ur tired of fighting.
And find some perspective. Go look at the patients at a children’s hospital. They’d give anything to be like u and me. Don’t throw it all away.

It may not be the best or first place he should go, but check out the bulk of the replies, tons of words of encouragement. That's a good thing.

Cmon brother. I know it’s tough but a lot of mistakes can turn into a lot more mistakes. Some you can’t take back. Do what’s right and turn it around now. Get help

My friend, I have been in a similar place. I don't know how YOU feel, but I felt what you describe. Weeks I would not look at myself in a mirror.
Thing about checking out us it's permanent. No way to undo it man. And the same way we make mistakes, we can stumble upon some good fortune. Life is a motherfricker. Hang tight. Always highs and lows, something better is coming.
Always.
I had to change my expectations, of what I am vs what I think I should be.
I hope you stay firm and patient.

Hang in there, man. As long as you and your daughter are physically healthy, that's already a huge win. Be grateful for it. I work with a couple of guys who have gone through hell with their kids' illnesses and disabilities.

Holidays are always a weird time. Hope everything looks up for you next year.

Where do you live?

If you're in the NOLA area let's get together and have a drink.

andersBlake you are loved, whether you know it or not. if you don't want to call a hotline, go here the chapel br and I guarantee you will be loved. Come Christmas Eve. i know this is an awkward way to communicate, but bring the fam... there's nothing you have done...nothing... that will stop the love of Christ for you. I'm living proof of that.

Please don’t. I know that feeling and those thoughts can be very intrusive. But don’t do it. Your daughter would grow up without you and you would miss so much. Fight for your life and please get help. It can get better.
