My first thought was, huzzah sir, how noble or something smarty pants. But in reality, I have fallen down the rabbit hole so many times and have had no one to help me climb out except me and I never quite make it to the top and I believe I’am emotionally bankrupt. I have a big old dose of anxiety, ADD or Bipolar, and depression and though I’ve never blamed my behavior on those aspects of my psyche, it challenges me to take life by the horns and climb above my crap. I just sit every day, reading and doing some housework. I truly wish you the best. I’m trying but I’m waiting for the big sleep. At least it’s going to be a different landscape and my daughter will be there to greet me.

I find your post very sad and I pray that you can find your way out of this rabbit hole. You have a lot to deal with. Do you share your feelings possibly with a close friend who will understand you? I hate to insult you but have you seen a psychiatrist? I'm 76 and through my younger years I saw maybe 5 or 6 of them and the talk did help somewhat. I'm told that antidepressants should also add talk therapy but I really didn't think at this age that I had anything else to talk about. Too much about me. I do pray that you find some help and it's not easy to climb above your crap and I'm not trying to be cute. Every day I watch too much TV and I am on my computer maybe 2 - 3 hours a day, sometimes playing word games which does relax me. I wish I had more encouraging words to give you. Please seek some help you sound very despondent. I hope that some others from this site will be able to help you out. Please take care of yourself. Nancy (Hug coming your way)

You are clearly a fighter and all your struggles make you a resource I totally empathize having the same long term struggles Reaching out and helping others is the best medicine for me It gets me out of my own miserable head and makes me feel of use I think the above gentleman does not understand debilitating depression
