nleeh Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 lala, I've been there a few times, not so much the drinking part but attaching the butt to the couch and wanting to be alone. People can give you ideas on how to get up and take your life back but until your ready you probably won't heed them. But, at your request for help I'll add my own as a starter. Take a walk in your neighborhood or drive to a local neighborhood and bring an empty bag along and pick up all the garbage laying around. Do that every day for a week straight, two if you must or longer. You will be surprised at how uplifting it is to get out of yourself and you may meet people along the way and also be doing a public service. If that idea is a definate NO to you then look for an organization that needs volunteer help or offer to help a friend, a relative, a neighbor. Nothing works better to help yourself get out of a funk than helping others. Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have lost control of my life. I drink way too much, I veg on the couch more nights than not and I have found that I would rather be at home alone than be with friends. help. You've done something good, acknowledging that you have a problem and you need help. Now, take it a step further and talk to your Dr, seek counselling because it sounds like you're depressed and the drinking isn't helping. Has something happened in your life to make you feel this way? Stressed out from school or work? Problems with family, or in a relationship? I hope you feel better. Link to post Share on other sites
Author lala13 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm not sure why I feel the way that I do now. I usually am such an outgoing person, but for the past few months, I feel like being around other people is entirely too taxing. I leave work and want to come home and shut off the phone to be alone. I tend to try and workout, only do it for a couple of minutes and then I sit with a glass of wine. Before I know it, it's 11:00 and I've finished the bottle. I want to be ok again. I even started on anti-depressants about three months ago, but I feel like I'm in a fog and still just dead - not depressed or sad - just dead. My brain is blank and I can't find happiness in anything anymore. I used to write and paint, but I can't even do that anymore. Thank you all for answering. I just need a direction to start on. I guess going to the doctor is the first thing. Maybe even therapy. I don't like who I am now. I used to be together and happy. I want to be that again. I need to be me again. Ugh. Thank you all.
