Intrusive thoughts, depression

On my 51st day and had to recover from the 7day charter on a yacht which made me work long hours. Slept enough but my mood dropped to the point I really wanted to open the bottle of baileys and just numb the negative emotions.
I have only temporary jobs just now so my employment situation is still uncertain. On the top of that the workplace which discriminated me before because of not speaking norwegian has quiestioned my health condition which has stopped the income from my sickleave for more than 3months. My case is still not solved, I’m almost broke and struggling with the positivity here. Plus I am again alone in the city I hate. I just really hope for a another job offer at the sea so I will keep myself busy, stop worrying and hating my life.

Big hugs my friend. I am so impressed at how well you are doing with 51 days (especially when working around so much alcohol on the yacht). I am sorry you are now back and feeling negatively. Are you able to talk with someone about this in real life (a therapist)?

I am sorry about your old job - they are total pricks! I do hope you win that case and soon.

Wishing you luck with your job hunt and hopefully will take you out of your city. Keep hope my friend. Just know life’s struggles are easier to manage with a clear sober mind.

Yes, I have my therapy session tomorrow so I’m going to talk about it with my therapist. And true- sober mind is the key. I know how I felt when I relapsed - cannot do this to myself again. Thank you for your kind words and support💞

Thank you. I was thinking to hit the gym again but my body still feels a bit tired😴 I should start with balanced diet and healthy food. Meditation, yoga maybe🤔 Glad I didn’t open that bottle even though I did not spend money on it. I should get rid of it as soon as I can.
