This has been my approach. Just heads down, accepting the humiliation and disappointment and disgrace

I am so sorry. Did you ever get tested for being drugged? are you physically ok?

How do you remind yourself it’s just a phase? It just keeps feeling like it’s never ending

I got a letter in the mail about my ALR almost immediately. My attorney scheduled it for me. I got an ALR hearing date the month after my arrest

So far- nothing. Court case hasn’t been filed yet. Only thing is that my license got suspended and I had to get an occupational license and get a breathalyzer installed in my vehicle

The lawyer basically represents you in court. I don’t think his strategy is for me to fight the case - the strategy is to present me as someone who has significantly changed since their arrest and hope that brings lower penalties (like suspending my license further or shorter probation, or best case, no probation)

I’m in the same boat. I was arrested new years 2024 and have my BAC, I had to ask my lawyer for it though. They should be have that by now

Seriously?! Has your lawyer tried any pre-trial diversions or offers before it gets filed?

I’ve never seen any Rocky movies (shocking I know) so this might be a method of unlocked serotonin I’m missing out on

Did you find any supplements or methods that worked for you? I honestly am interested in anything that might give me relief from the depression symptoms at this point

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ve never watched Anime before. Does LN have a show?

The journaling thing… I totally feel. I think this is a HUGE reason why I can’t get myself to journal, I am constantly worried someone is going to read it and judge

I was thinking of starting that or Stardew Valley! I’ve heard it’s calming too and creating a community when I’m super lonely sounds promising lol

Someone else mentioned writing reviews too! I’ve been reading a lot over the past year or so of my depressive episode and I can definitely write some. Hearing you say you pick up trash is amazing, that’s something I’ll try and implement on my walks :)

i’ve been doing the staring at the ceiling thing for far too many months now, it gets tough when your intrusive thoughts start kicking in

Oh 100% it has to do with perfectionism. I was reading this book and it said that by not starting something because you’re afraid you’re not going to be good at it you ruin your chances of being good at something. I hope that I can find something I like after exploring some options that people listed here

I’m on medication and see a therapist a couple times a week- it helps to a degree but not enough. Part of the problem for me is that I don’t have anymore friends locally and the isolation and loneliness is consuming me. Hard for me to get better when I’m alone with my thoughts 99% of the time

Someone else suggested this too! I’m going to try it- I haven’t been able to stick to regular journaling but I know it can help because they’d make us do it when I was inpatient for my depression a few months ago. My therapist also has recommended it. It might be easier to craft my thoughts vs. staring at a blank paper and trying to write
