I'm really struggling right now just be okay in my own skin I hate where Iive I struggling taking care of the basics for myself and having to care for a "little" is challenging when I feel I cant even care for myself like I need to. I'm just stuck all up in my head at the moment.
Definitely been there, man. Got a sponsor? Any meetings where you are?
I like to run through a gratitude list and a quick three minute meditation or breathing space when I'm stuck in my head. Sounds like your problem is more serious though. Are you using right now? Do you have clean time?
Any day you don't pick up is a win. And all feelings will pass, even the bad ones.

You got this man. The hardest prison to escape is our mind. Sometimes you have to close your eyes to the surrounding long another to reset your thought patterns. Have you tried meditation?
Hold on and do the next right thing. Try to find gratitude in what you currently have because it can be a bit worst.

Like what was suggested gratitude —- of course—-but I get how hard that is in the thick of it all. Self care definitely falls off the table but you HAVE to make sure you’re taking care of yourself bc no one else will. The less you eat healthy & sleep the more exhausted you become & the harder it becomes to get back to feeling ok again. Start small, breathe, walk outside, make sure you’re sleeping 7-8 hours, drink lots of water, try to eat healthy Whole Foods, try as hard as you can it will help!!!
