Aha it makes perfect sense now, that’s a cool mantra btw. I’m sick a dinosaur when it comes to ask these abbreviations 
Thankyou, I am proud, I never thought this possible. Oh me of little faith.

Day 21. Feeling lost and confused. How do I get the people around me to treat me normally once again? How do I get them to forget the drunk me? Feels like I have too much history.

Through action. Just keep doing what you’re doing, stay sober, walk the walk. It will come in time, trust me…and there will be some people who don’t move on, people who don’t let go of the “old you”, but that is their problem, not yours.
You’re doing great.

Day 437
As long as I can remember, there’s always been at least 2-3 days per week where, immediately upon waking, I am consumed by feelings of sadness, guilt, lack of direction, emptiness, and feelings of being very alone. That last one is the worst part, and probably the strongest. I don’t know where these feelings come from or why they arise, but this morning is one of those mornings. It just feels so awful. I have so much to be grateful for and yet these feelings just don’t let up when they come. How can you feel this way so regularly, when there is so much to be glad about? What else more could I possibly need?
I’ve written about these feelings before and I’m sorry for complaining and/or being a bit of a broken record. This is just the only place I have.
All I can do is wait and get over it. I feel like hiding.

I think the answer you just gave to Positrix applies to yourself too. Take action. Accept you are sad sometimes. Find out what you feel guilty for. Find yourself direction. Find out how to fill the emptiness. If you feel lonely engage in social activities. I know it’s easier said than done and I’m talking to myself here just as well. It’s the paradox of treating depression. The only real way to fight it is through positive action. But a typical element of being depressed is that you (me) find it very hard to do something, do something period, or to find pleasure in doing anything. Still it’s the only way. Do stuff. I don’t think that all we can do is wait till it’s over. Even though at times that can be a solution too. In a way doing nothing and waiting can be a form of action too. It’s just not the permanent solution. Success.
