I feel you susan, every day seems like a roller coaster for me, either bad or good.. Stay strong and focus on stuff that you enjoy doing to relax. :slight_smile:

Hey Susan! Don’t give up, what do you think causes you to go back out? Something that really helped me was building a community in a 12 step program, or doing treatment/ even IOP offers a safe space to build coping mechanisms / work on any past trauma

Never throw in the towel. We aren't designed to do that. We are designed to reach out for help as you did here. Have you talked with a therapist about the depression?

You have a purpose, it’s just difficult to see when everything is messed up. Eventually, you’ll see - everything changes. I felt the same way.

Just have to dig out of the darkness. Trust me there is light on the other side. It will come but it will take sometime. I found that I needed to put myself first and work on me.
