Hey everyone. How are you all doing? I got 62 days clean and I'm going strong. Let's just hope I keep it that way. I have a couple things on my mind. I'm still very depressed. I can't afford to go see a therapist or go to the doctor. What should I do about that? Also anyone heard from Manon. I know she said she's going through something and didn't want to talk last time I got a hold of her months ago but I don't understand why she is pushing me so far away! Usually if I text or call her she will either respond or call me back. I don't want to bother her but not knowing if she is really OK is kind of driving me crazy. She would call me out on shit and make me live life on lifes terms and be real and help me calm down at 3 am if I'm having a panic attack. i miss my friend. i am so tempted to book a flight and go find her. 

Manon if you are reading this please let me know you are oK. That's all I ask.

Hey Liz  Blessings of this day...so good to hear from you....smile

Congratulations of 62 days that is great..I am sorry for your continuing battle with depression and it is a serious condition.Here are a couple of contacts you can try and see where and if there is help in your area..Also you may want to try your local Mental Health Clinic in your area.My son

,when he was strung out on junk but also suffered severe OCD,manic/depression/anti-social behavior and anger issues was able to get state based help

Try to GOOGLE these;        The Partnership for Prescription Assistance has a Free Clinic Finder if you type in your zipcode you will find clinics in your area.

 

*  The U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources also has a listing of free clinics in your area.  All you have to do is plug in your geographic location.  

 

*  The National Alliance on Mental Illness may also provide information of where to find treatment or mental health care in your area.  You may call them toll free at 1-800-950-NAMI or contact them through their web site                        

WE have not heard from Manon in a long time,but I believe when she is ready she'll drop in.I'm sure as I do WE all pray for her . For awhile I was getting email to buy products but im not sure what it was about.She may have started a business or something..Anyway God bless you...Stay clean and research help for your depression,that ain't no game.....Be blessed.......You have my number...smile

Welcome back. Going to meetings, working the steps with a sponsor, and getting involved in service has helped me deal with depression and other moods. Some people may need more than this, of course, but working the NA program doesn't cost any money.

Liz i suffer from depression also main thing for me is keeping busy and then not letting that depression take over which can be a fight. I guess recognizing it puts you one step in front of it.

I think my higher power knows what i need and i trust his guidance in my life just a few days ago I had a talk with him because, I have pretty much been out of work for about 2 weeks, but i really needed the rest since i've been going all summer. So the other day I talked with God and told him that this time off was getting rough, in the last 2 days I have been given a months worth of work in contracts with customers LOL,,,, ask an you shall receive :)

OH an BTW congrats on your new job

Hopefully manon is ok sounds like you need more support there at home but try deepening your dependency on a higher power, God in particular, because people are going to let you down a relationship with God you'll never get let down, thats only my experience.
