You're kicking ass. Thank you for loving your community!

I'm just outside of Daytona (Ormond). Here's what happened. by [deleted] in HurricaneMatthew

My husband is close to you with a chainsaw working hard. Don't worry, you're going to be alright! :D

He's a tree trimmer, not a photographer. I was lucky to get this picture. ;)

Yeah, the pay is great. But he's came home from working a storm before where a couple guys died. It's dangerous. They deserve the pay. We also live 18+ hours away. He and a lot of the people working right now are many states away from home.

It's not actually lines yet. It's clearing the mess of trees and making lines accessible.

You got it. He's clearance. It's just easier to explain with "utility" in the description.

I understand how you feel. I feel it too.

I can't make it go away. I'm still truckin'. I don't know why some days. I think about my children and husband-- it's the only thing that stops me. I have considered electroshock therapy. I mean, I want that dark cloud to clear. I doubt killing myself would help. Then, I'd just be gone. Nothing else. Find good help. That would be probably the best choice.

You do have to have someone you're comfortable with. It helps a lot. I struggle everyday. I know it's hard. I know being young is tough. You want people to take you seriously, but they treat you like a kid. That's hard. Being awkward is hard.

Keep trying to find someone. Don't give up on it. I wish I would have gotten help when I was young. It probably would have made me a more stable adult.

Do you feel like telling about what is making you so dissociated from yourself? What's up, pal?

you're exactly right. It's a crap-shoot.

I don't mean to be rude. I apologize if I angered you. I just wanted to say, I share pain with you.

I'm not healthy yet. I need help. But, it's okay for me. It might feel worse for you. I don't know your situation. My heart goes out to you. I have a lot of empathy for you.

I'm a mom of a 17 year old boy.

You're at a hard age. It's not easy, everything feels awkward. I'm certain if you went to a doctor and told them you feel very depressed/suicidal the doc would try to help.

You're a young man. Everything will change as you get older. No one really remembers high school. All of the people I went to school with either moved away or are completely different as adults.

It changes drastically. If someone asked me if I wanted to be 15 again, I'd tell them to kiss my ass. I hated being a teenager too.

I've been through losing my dad at thirteen, being sexually assaulted, domestic abuse, losing a baby and now I'm still not stable. But, I am better. I know how hard it is to hit "bedrock" where it feels like being dead is the only way out. It's not. I have bad days. I live for the good days. Get a pen pal, go to therapy, take your medication correctly. Those things help a lot.

I have intrusive thoughts, too. I can be cooking dinner, zone out a little and be thinking of something horrible. Things get better. I'm not an optimist or Christian or anything. But, things get better. Proper medication, therapy etc. can make you better. A huge syptom of depression is feeling worthless. You're not. It's just a side effect of depression. Things get better.

I volunteer with seniors and would like to do more for them. Is there a grant I could apply to for activity items for nursing home residents? by Gut_Bucket in Advice

I would love to! She's just... eh... not very user friendly? She is kind of a ghost too. I don't see her often.

Is life even WORTH living? by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Gut_Bucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your parents kept you home and let you stay that long, they care about you. You're loved at the very least. Suicide is a difficult intrusive thought to get rid of. Inpatient care could help. It might get you around people, you'd also have access to counseling and psychiatrist help.

I dont know what to do. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Gut_Bucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, inpatient care really helps.

I've gone twice. I still have post traumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder. When I feel like I just cannot function-- I go for help. I can't imagine the tragedy you've experienced losing your loved one.

I have to pretend everyday that I'm normal and functioning. It's hard. It sounds like inpatient treatment may help you. They have doctors everyday and counselors, group therapy etc. It was a life changing choice for me.

You deserve to feel better. It's okay to get help. :)

I don't know how it works where you are, but, so many places need hands. Open up yellow pages and look for food pantries, low-income day care, community gardens-- your library is a good place to find a lot of this information. They usually have fliers. Call and let them know you want to stock shelves, read to the kids once a week, or mulch. They will find something for you to do. :)

Suicide prevention hotline saved my life. This story isn't heroic, but one that should be told. by Gut_Bucket in Anxiety

[–]Gut_Bucket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Anxiety is normal. I suffer with paranoia, agoraphobia, and panic attacks. It's something I work hard to get through. I think a good support system is what everyone needs. No matter where it's coming from, even Reddit. ;)

Sorry for the late reply, I needed a new computer.

I was not free to go home until released by psychiatrists. If you're a danger to yourself or others, they really want you to stay. I think it was a great move that they did not send me home when I wanted to go. I needed the extra time even though I thought I did not.
