Hi JJ, Ur obviously in a very dark place right now. I feel the exact same way when I'm at my lowest. Thoughts keep spinning around and around and it feels like an enormous whole in the very centre of ur being that seems impossible to fill, and sometimes it feels like a physical pain. I know how u fe...

Hi abuela, I think the only way to dig yourself out of this depression is to first understand why you feel so alone and in pain. The easy thing to do, (and I'm guilty of doing this myself), is to try to distract yourself from the pain by drinking, it's understandable, but totally ineffective as the ...

I'm sorry to hear u had issues with alcohol yourself. I think it's the worst drug out there because it's so readily available and socially acceptable. It can sneak up on you and get you before you even realise what's happening. Thanks again for your advice, that sounds like a good plan. I'll try tha...

Thanks for your reply and for your words of support. I really want to stop drinking so i guess that's a step in the right direction,. I've never wanted to stop before. i never thought of myself as someone who has a problem with alcohol, I mean I don't drink all the time, I'm not someone who has to h...

Musings (a poem)
Musings Snaking into my brain through my ears, my eyes, my mouth. Rushing and crushing and crashing and smashing, Pushing through the barriers and clawing until it finds purchase, There in the recesses, in the forgotten niches it grabs hold and digs in, Relentless now that it has found its safe have...

I have suffered with depression for as long as i can remember. When i was in school i would go to the bathroom and hide myself in a cubicle to eat my lunch because i didn't want to talk to anyone, i couldn't talk to anyone, but i didn't want people to see me sitting alone so i'd hide until it was ti...

Depression and alcohol ruining my life
I'm a deeply insecure person and live with feeling like I'm not good enough. This has caused me to make many mistakes in my life. I've picked up bad habits along the way in my attempts to cover up my self loathing. Alcohol is chief among these bad habits. When I socialise with friends I start the ev...

Hi Makeitstop, I can relate to what you are feeling. Depression is an everyday struggle. Some days are better, some days are worse, that's the nature of the beast. The only thing any of us can do is try to explain how we feel and hope someone somewhere will understand. I know it's hard trying to fin...

That was very good. The images it conjured up for me was a longing to become something elemental and unending. Like desiring death isn't necessarily a wish to be ended as much as it is a wish to escape the cell of the physical world and become pure energy. Or at least that's what I got from it. I li...

Greener Grass
I Look around and all I see
Is what could never be,
I cross the waters of my mind
For Greener Grass to see.
