Once you hit rock bottom...where do you make your next step?

Question

I feel like I am there and if not close to it. I've lost the woman I loved, actually she ran off with someone else, I can't get a job because of a possession charge in Washington, mind you there were only three grams of cannabis, my friends aren't the best people to go to, they suck. I have no motivation to go out and meet people, every time I do they love drugs or alcohol. I have my family on my shoulders, they are useless. I have a truck that I need to get rid of, get a hybrid or something fuel efficient. Russia is provoking, or we are provoking, I'm not sure yet, but World War 3. Every time I try to spark conversation, the person turns into an idiot, I mean I bring up the Georgia conflict and people think I am talking about Atlanta. The only people I can vent to are through a screen or pay insane amounts of money to a shrink. What is this world coming too? Is there anyone who wants to hop into a spaceship with me and take the _ _ _ _ off?

Answer 2

no i wouldn't want to hop on a spaceship with you not unless your a hot beautiful lady, but just maybe you should reall focus on getting a job a paper route somethin.

Answer 3

What's this about Atlanta?

Seriously dude, at least you are not dying. There are plenty of people in prison or on their last legs like me who would gladly take your position and make something out of it. You only see the bad side right now.  

Answer 4

When you reach the bottom there is only one way to go and that's up. Take that first step and the rest will be easy

Answer 5

Focus on taking the next small step, day by day, keep your mind busy so it won't gnaw at you. Realize that your loss is just something that takes time for healing. Forget Russia, you have bigger thing to worry about right now. Realize that your only option may be self employment, for which you may need to acquire new skills to facilitate so look around for something you can do... performing services such as yard work or something. As to isolation... there are many many lonely people out there and sooner or later you'll bump into them. Great sympathies... I wish you the very best. Good luck.

Answer 6

Lets do it.. Everyone has thier own drama. you just have to leave the pieces and move the F*** on. even if you havent found that right person; just take your time. things happens for a reason. try others things that excite you. that can make you feel better.    

Answer 7

first you steady yourself, than you take one step forward.

Answer 8

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on with life. Dump your no good friends. Move away from your family. Russia has been provoking WW3 since 1945, stop worrying about them. They are all mouth. The only people who need shrinks are other shrinks.
