I feel like I am facing impossible odds, addiction, ocd, depression, social phobia, isolation, chronic pain. I feel like it would be easy to continue on the path i’m on and just self destruct to death. But for some reason I can’t explain I feel an inner calling telling me to fight. It’s not hope, it’s anger. I’m pissed off at the way the world is and I don’t want to let it kill me. I know I will be greeted with unimaginable pain in taking this path. I know my own mind will turn on me again, convince me I will never make it, and make me physically mentally and emotionally feel drained to the point of barely being able to do anything. I know I will be temped by feelings of giving up, giving completely into my addiction, or suicide. I know any one of these things will destroy me and must be avoided. I am so sick of my life being on the line day after day. I am sick of not living a real life and instead just surviving. I may not win, but goddammit i’m going to give it hell or die trying. I know I need the help of others though to make it. Honestly what do I really have left to lose? Nothing, I have lost everything and I am sitting in a dark hole. I think the path is simple yet extremely difficult. Reconnect with who I really am, and reclaim my life.

Well I will tell you. I have had all the cards stacked up against me for most of my life too.. and for many years I suffered tremendously and contemplated suicide many times during that time. Well I can tell you > you Have the right attitude to say that you are going to FIGHT like hell to make it through your issues and live… I will tell you > if you hang on to that attitude and work towards making things better for yourself. Things will get much better for you. They have for me.
I suffered mental illness for a long time in my life, physical disabilities that were painful, social issues, financial issues and all kinds of other stuff. Well for years I wasn’t sure if I would make it through it all > but I did make it through it all and now my life is better then it ever has been and things are getting better for me all the time.
I still have big issues to face. but things are much better for me and I am happier NOW in life then I ever have been before > and I am 44 years of age now.
SO hang on man. You can make it through all of this stuff and come out with a much better life down the road and when you get there you will be glad that you didn’t give up.
Keep going in life > you will make it
