After being clean since October im back on the benzos again. Not to the point where Im forgetting my day at work, just a few pills to make the day go by smooth.

Ever since I hit a pedestrian and Im pretty sure I'll be getting hit with a lawsuit I just want this whole ordeal to go by as quickly as possible and I know benzos are my go to vice.

I just need to be really careful because when I pop pills I drink.

No one knows about the pills but family knows about the drinking.

Every day my anxiety just goes haywire about how Im going to deal with this lawsuit.

Work sucks, I keep getting lunch violations every week and my boss sent me a text yesterday asking why I failed a mystery shopper test, I didn't respond. I know if we weren't short on employees in my dept my ass would've been gone by now. I hate people though, every time I have an opportunity to work alone, I spend it mostly in the back room and just mess around on my phone since there's no cameras there. I made a Snapchat and a Instagram since that's what most of my coworkers seem to be into but it's been pointless so far. I have nothing interesting to post and every time I do I don't receive any likes on the things i do post so what's the point. The girl at work I had a crush on said i'm too quiet to go on a date with and all the other girls I'm interested in ignore me. Idk how my coworkers are able to attract women so easy when I can't even get a compliment, it makes me jealous and depressed all in one. I mean for starters I don't' even have style, I just pick shyt that looks interesting and buy it online, I haven't bought clothes or shoes for myself in about a year. My Aunt and Uncle keep saying they want to take my out to find my style because apparently I can't dress worth shyt, but fukk them both because all they do is talk shyt, I haven't spoken to them in months even though they live close by

But besides all that I just work, walk to the train station, catch the train, then walk home everyday since I don't drive but I also do it hoping that one day someone hits and kills me. I don't have any friends so I either spend my time on here, Netflix, or my PS4. It's crazy how i've haven't had anyone to call "friend" in about 7 years, I mean I thought I had friends until I found out they were all talking about me behind my back which crushed my trust of people into 0. I mean these were dudes I knew since fukking kindergarden, fukk man. Only people who contact me are my bosses, mom, and dad other than that my phone sits silent throughout the majority of the day. I want to off myself but I don't want to see my mother go though that especially since she's by herself now and all the times I made her cry and frustrated though out high school. I didn't even get to walk across the stage, I had to go to Target and my fake graduation photos for my family brehs. fukked up part is that I failed the class I needed to graduate on purpose because I knew the only people who would be clapping would be my mom, dad, and sis. I think a better alternative is just going off grid, pretend that i'm dead and just send my fam letters every now and then. There's nothing out here for me brehs, at the end of the year i turn 26 and have nothing to show for it, my life is a failure

i honestly think i can help you breh. you got to learn gratitude. you have something that i value very much. its called a job and income. try not to think about things you dont have and just appreciate the things you do have. its hard in this society where everyone thinks life is some sort of competition or something. but its not. just do you.

you have the income to improve yourself. stop worrying or caring about what other people think of you for a while. you gonna have to be selfish for a while. join a gym if you havent already. mind body and spirit all need to be in harmony. so for the body start working out and eating more natural foods. as far as mind and spirit you got to look into mindfulness meditation. its about being aware of your thoughts and not reacting to them. see you might have thoughts saying "im not shyt, im a loser, nobody likes me". but you dont have to react to those thoughts because those thoughts arent you. its your ego. this is why meditation is important and science is starting to recognise its benefits.

the most important thing is you have the money to improve yourself. im a dropout too and im broke as a joke right now. so my diet is terrible i cant afford a gym membership. im actually envious that you have a job nikka :damn:

and try to stop seeking other peoples approval. sometimes you just got to be an a$$hole so people respect you. life is not a race despite what society tells you.

Acoholism some say it is some say it isnt man but i had my first drink at 15 i had my first alcohol related incident with my dui at 21 been blacked out drunk a couple of times in my life I try n learn from the signs from my family i dont keep any alcohol in my apartment my father use to have liquor n beer n the house at all times my moms had her first drink at a young age one of her younger sisters died from a dui incident Im glad she brought it to my attention i really had to sit down and look back on my life to see how i could change for the better

I have a similar experience with my family. My dad was an alcoholic and I know he dabbled in drugs before I was born. I picked up that gene and around 24 decided I had to stop drinking, period. It was a major adjustment but I honestly don't miss it. I also was a heavy weed smoker and had to give that up (I ended up in the hospital from a psychotic break, suicidal and everything). This year I finally had a severe break down from a major depressive episode. Found out I had PTSD from some various childhood experience and I was dealing with anxiety and depression all along (self medicating).
It's crazy how much your family history and upbringing can affect your adulthood and how you adjust. I hope you are well.

I swear by Eastern techniques and methods of balancing that get me out of this consume-everything + try-to-feel-"happy"-all-the-time shallow nonsense promoted by our culture. From yoga to meditation to tai-chi, many of these practices are based on bringing balance to the various forces at work in your body and preparing you for the onslaught of external forces. I have tried meds (diagnosed bipolar) and they make me woozy and unenthusiastic.

Tried herb for years but that -- long-term -- doesn't help other motivation areas and can make you pre-disposed to schizophrenia. Only thing about changing routines and cognitive behavioral therapy is that, like anything, it can become another obsessive hobby if not moderated. Try to take breaks, write in a journal, spend time with my thoughts and process DAILY.

Anyone have similar experiences?

Shouts to OP for this thread. Gangster.

My experiences are similar to this. Writing in a journal always helps me and doing meditation/visualization works wonders. I also started boxing (didn't even know it was a martial art until a year later :deadmanny:) and it helped me become much more focused and balanced. There is a strange power in knowing you can defend yourself and seriously physically harm someone with just your hands. It has given me a new respect for people, opponents and my own personal growth. It has grounded me and changed my life for the better.

@Brandeezy first know your on a different level than your co workers at work. They are just as lost as you are, but they are comfortable in the day to day grind.

You on the other hand, have taken the "red pill" your depression is a symptom of you seeing through the BS. Your life now revolves around getting your shyt together. You too @Indica.

I don't know what age you are Brandeezy but there's definitely the status quo, those below it, and those who rise above. Your about to be one of the ones that rise above.

Firstly you will need peace of mind, that's going to be your best friend in all this. Having that mental breathing room where you don't get caught up in peoples BS. The gap between you and the world where you observe what's happening before interacting, if you choose to do so at all.

You probably zone out a lot don't you? You feel as if life is going someplace but you don't know how or where? Its NOT the destination, believe me, but the day to day quality of the "search".

This is something I myself need to get on too. Cut the bullshyt, cut the emotion, all of that. Your now a human-animal. All you do is eat, sleep and survive. Your health is your only goal in life, all things will fall into place accordingly to this priority.

ONCE YOU MAKE THIS PRIORITY YOUR NUMBER ONE GOAL, YOU WILL SEE EVERYONE AROUND YOU AS WHAT THEY REALLY ARE.

Most people, go through this and are probably fighting this same battle you are. The difference is you see through the illusion. Welcome to the Flintstone's, you now see life in its simplest terms. Come to terms with your boredom and your need for entertainment. Your probably already past this as IG, Snapchat and fashion bore you.

This is good, your priorities have shifted. Keep track of yourself like you are a business. You Are Your Business.

Think about it like this, corporations are considered people and conduct themselves as such. They live, eat. Breathe, draw energy and give off energy, they work. A human is the same, tho we don't consider ourselves a business. That's just one way to look at it, one frame of mind that puts you behind the CEO desk of your life.

Your main priority is to get your shyt together. Literally everything else in your life now falls into two categories.

Things You Do
Things That Happen Around You

You need to make sure you do As Many Things In A Day As Possible.

Get Momentum. All the hurt and pain from the past, yesterday, til today is Momentum. Positive or negative, were going to use that Momentum in to the next most immediate thing we can think of that will improve your life.

Often times if that's is enough to get you to sit down and meditate and let those thoughts bleed, then great, do that.

But listen to your thoughts as tho they are employees complaining. You ultimately make the final decision. And how do you do that? Through Action!

I don't care if you don't talk all day and get shyt down, that's success.

I'm in the cut right now with no one at my shop talking to me unless its about work. I'm one of the best artists in here, the most focused and the one with the biggest pieces on deck right now. My employers don't have the same mindset as me (most people in society just want to chill, they are tired). So I get passed over for a lot of work, why?

Because I'm driven, ambitious and motivated and tho they will never admit it, at the bottom of the totem pole with the most amount of natural talent. They hate that. They fear that.

Hate and fear will be your common enemies in people, they don't want to see you succeed cause it makes them feel and look lazy.....cause they are.

Society is currently very hedonistic. TV and internet have destroyed people's attention spans. They don't want to do more than they have to, especially if the crowd isn't doing it.

This is where you blow past them, they want to go in circles, you want to fly like an arrow.

Imagine your in a canoe on the river of life. Keep in mind its a canoe, a small personal boat. Be very careful what you carry in this canoe (your being, mind, thoughts, food, a woman, your values, etc)

Then you have your paddle, how you navigate through life, its fought waters, etc.

Then on the river banks there are branches and eyes that watch from the forest. Keep going down the river.

Eventually, hopefully, you will get through the dark, and be more of a participator in life.

However I'll leave you with this. Meditate. Go inside your mind, scrape the corners, understand yourself, make it a myth, a legend or whatever that you relate to. At the end tho, when your done meditating THE HERO GOES BACK TO HIS STORY. Hopefully refreshed.

not for everybody, but i think the keto diet would help some people. at the very least you have more energy & need way less sleep.

got off prozac & a couple other meds a few months back & i'm prolly better without em.

What is the keto diet? I'm currently on Prozac and it has helped a lot but I don't want to be on it forever.

a high fat, moderate protein and low-carb diet...its method of tricking your body into burning fat instead of carbs.

Quick lesson: your body's preferred source of energy is its stored carbohydrates...once it burns up the carbs it goes to your fat stores (you also lose a lot of water weight due to water retention caused by carbs)...this keto diet kinda skips the first step and goes straight for the fat.
