Re: Life sucks. Fendann: Cherry is right. You don't need to feel ashamed to be posting here AT ALL! We've all been through our crisis, and Ojar has been our helping hand through everything. You're trying to deal with too much, and you need to step back and realize that there is nothing that you can do for most of it. You have to ride out when you can't help, and deal with what you can. Your family, I'm sorry to say, has their problems and you have yours. You can't take the burden of everyone else onto your own shoulders without getting dragged under.
Re: Life sucks. sheydp: As I look at your laundry list of bad things happening, I feel overwhelmed, too... That is a big part of it, I am sure, being overwhelmed? Sometimes it helps to not list it all, not look forward to all that still needs to be done. Focus on one small thing at a time - something you can DO something about... Then when you look at your laundry list of woes, you can say - but at least I handled A and B already, time to tackle C! What is the most pressing thing you can do? Perhaps something at work? Find something you can succeed at if you focus, maybe it will help? Besides, if you are focusing hard enough on one thing, some of the others drop off the radar, just for a little while....

Re: Life sucks. masterlow: Thanks, everyone. I am going to do my best to get some work done today. That should releive some of my stress.
I'm picking up my best-freind from rehab soon, and I don't know how much of my support he will want/need today. I don't want to just leave him alone. I may ask if he wants to clean his apartment together...it's a filthy mess.

That's a very good idea. It will get BOTH of your minds off of things, and give you two something constructive to do for a while.
Re: Life sucks. masterlow: I picked up my friend from re-hab. All he wanted to do was go see he GF, which I understand. He looked alright, and it sounds like he is motivated to stay clean. He is going to an NA meeting tonight.
I also finally got word from my Brother's roommate that my Bro is doing OK, and has not called because he lost his phone. I'm not sure if that's true, but it releives some of my concern. Hopefully my brother will call me today and confirm that everything is OK.
Also, my Ex called me back. As always it was wonderful to hear her voice. She listened to my problems, and was as comforting as she could be. I asked her if anything positive was going on in her life, and she told me that basically her new life sucked. I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or worse.
I'm sitting down at my PC now trying to get some work stuff completed. I've got dinner plans with my Mom and Dad tonight. I'm sure it will be a lot of tough conversation. I'm a bit worried about it, but I need to go to show them some support.
After dinner I'm going to hang out with an old friend. Hopefully I will be able to get my mind off of this difficult day.
