Falling to Pieces, put me together

[PhreakGyrl]

This is my first post to any forum and just found this site. I have read some of the posts and feel empathy but yet I cannot respond because I can't even help myself.

Brief summary: coming out of abusive relationship, pending divorce, 4 beautiful kids, house flooded, car flooded. Basically homeless, jobless, and carless. Good news: just got a vehicle. Don't feel I have completely hit rock bottom because I haven't checked myself into a crisis unit again.

I have a therapist, a psychiatrist, and on meds, and yet all I want to do is drown myself in alcohol to make it all go away. I sit here and cry as I type this not knowing at this point how my life will get any better. All I want is guidance at this point. Please help me, I am losing grip on reality.

I think you're doing well. You seem to have some semblance of perspective, which is amazing for someone with depression, and you don't seem hopeless. We all have our struggles and our demons, be comfortable being uncomfortable and don't run from the pain. I hope you're ok and will get better. Instead of drinking, tell us, tell me more.

Hello!

Responding to other peoples thoughts can be a rather daunting task but in the myriad of people who hang there hat here some times its high likely hood that you will find someone you find you can relate to more so if you share what your going through and how it affects you it may even be cathartic.

There's almost always someone in the chat-room which can be a good place to go if you just want someone to listen or give you some encouraging advice/support.
