Hey guys, I am new to this app but so far its looking pretty good… It may actually help me keep in contact with others better. But really I was going to meetings about 2 times a day, I was loving them, I was feeling so great about myself… I was happy… then I do not know what happened. All I know is that I was down in bed with a HORRIBLE toothache, I finally got it pulled yesterday… but ever since the day I had the toothache and decided to skip out on that day of meetings, I haven’t been back?!? Started getting depressed again, started being really harsh to myself… IM STILL CLEAN but my mental health is slowly getting worse again I feel like… I do not like it, I mean I guess it could be from me being out of my medication??? I need to make an appointment with another therapist Monday… but ughhhhh, I hate this… anyway sorry for the rant… really just wanted to check this app out and see if I get any replies to my bitch session
The hardest part is getting that initial motivation for me. I suffer from alot of all or nothing thinking like i have to get back to 2x meetings a day which would seem like alot and i would be paralized to take action. What works for me is starting by doing a little. Try to make one meeting this weekend. Baby steps to get back on that path.
For me early on i had all kinds of emotions going on and feeling like i was struggling at one put just to get out of bed. For me it was just the change my mind n body was going through bc this was new. I’ve learned i will have ups n downs on this journey thats why i just have to take it one day at a time and not pick up a drink. As it was mentioned take baby steps get up get dressed n hit that one meeting n let everything else fall in place. Good to have you here n keep coming back.
First- Welcome to the forum! 
I’m very sorry you are struggling today. I am feeling similar. Just a really lonely day. I found a meeting and started going earlier this year but then took a trip back in May to see some family and I haven’t been back to the meeting. Your post is a reminder to me to get my ass back over there so thank you for posting how you are feeling today. I hope you start feeling a bit better soon and yes you should see your therapist. If you have been on meds you shouldn’t stop them because it can take a toll on your mental health as you are seeing today.
Welcome! This is a good place to visit for support, guidance, inspiration, And even if you just feel like venting. No judgements! Take a look around and see what speaks to you. Wish you well!
Welcome. Perhaps find an online meeting to start you back on the right track. Bring without your meds could also be affecting you. I know for me if o go off my meds or skip got a couple days I start to slip into the dark whole.
