Hi shimmerz, Thank you soooo much. You have spoken very kind words. I felt much better after speaking with the doctor and my wife (all at the same time). After a conversation about the whole incident, I explained that I let go of my emotional control, and was drinking at the time. (normally no)...

Hi Anthony, Thanks for your comments. I did go with my wife today to my Psychiatrist and have a quite a talk about what set this off. I agree with you that I am the one that needs help. I was just so surprised to see her mad, but like you said, I did in fact deserve it. Thank you, Joseph :)

Hi everyone, I posted the other day about the fact that I jumped from 3-4 meters onto solid concrete. I survived and two men brought me home. My concern is that my aunt, who is normally supportive, told me to go jump off a bridge when I emailed her. This was prior to the jump. My wife took...

Hi Snowflake, Thank you. I get satisfaction from helping others, and now I have a focus and a reason. I just have to keep my head right side up. lol I have heard that survivors can make good counselors. I hope that is true. Take care, Joseph :)

Hi Unknown, Is there someone that you live with or can be with you to talk to? Do you have a therapist? Maybe these could help. Writing helps me sometimes. Please keep talking if you have the energy. Joseph :)

Me too. Hang in there. Joseph :)

Hi, Thanks for the support. I am not looking for attention, but it is very nice to have people to talk to that understand more about these topics. My idea was to join this group to support others, and also ask for help when necessary. It's like that picture of climbing the mountain of (PTSD)...

Hi St. Maybe, I am new, but am trying to help other that apply to what I am going through. Yes, it is exhausting. Thanks and take care, Joseph :)

Hi coco9, Thank you for the response. The Safeway bit gave me a chuckle. My wife is going to call my doctor this morning and explain all. He is very accessible. I don't think I did mention it, but I have been taking clonazepam (Klonopin) for over 2 years. Normally, 1mg for the day, and 2mg at...

Hi Mal, Yes it is quite different. I try to make videos on the good days, and I even watch them for myself when I feeling low. I stop drinking 3 years ago, but every 6 months or so, I go down the dumpster. I drink for a few days to feel better temporarily, then back to life. My goal is to not...

Hi coco9, Thank very much. I am glad you can sympathize. Before I quit drinking, I used to wake up at 7:30am, M-F and help my favorite liquor store open up. I knew his name, I always hung up the American flag for him outside. I would buy my fifth for the day, and some pints to hide around the...

Hi, Thank you very much. I am going to talk to my therapist about this Monday. Also, I agree, and am aware that alcohol does not help with antidepressants. I stopped drinking 3 years ago. I have had 5 relapses of short periods of time. 3-4 days. Its like I get to this point where I want to feel...

I have a pattern of major depression every six months. Normally I am mildly depressed. I no longer enjoy cooking, going out, or anything that I used to enjoy doing. Normally around the sixth month, I go through a bad week. I jump on an airplane fly somewhere with no intention of what I am going...

Is anyone available to help with this post? This is not an area I have answers for. Hi Carrieon, Don't give up, you are not alone, Let's find someone that knows more about this specifically. Joseph :)

I have read that book, The languages of Love. It's worth reading because it has a little test at the end for you, and for your spouse/partner, whatever. I learned that I had a different love language than the woman I was with. Everything made more sense. It's not a sex book. It's about how you...

Hi scout86, Good point. Ok, biologically, from a man's point of view and experience, he biologically needs a release after some time. That release however, can be self pleasure, not cheating or whatever. If a man works around a lot of women (want), compared to working on a pipeline in Alaska...

Hi, My answer is both. It depends on the person. Biologically, yes. But frequency of wanting sex seems to depend on peer pressure, learned behavior, and more importantly, a release of hormones to counteract his own issues. This can give him a temporary high. I hope this helps you, Joseph :)

You are welcome, Make the best of your day, Joseph :)

Hi, This subject is not in my ballpark, but I did want to respond so you know that someone is listening. My hope is that as the sun rises, some will be able to respond to this more effectively. I am up because I have insomnia. I usually get up at 11am. lol Hang in there and let's see if we can...

Hi Snowflake, Even though I don't know your complete situation, I can say this. Question your statements. Has anyone said these things to you? There must be some things that you can be grateful to have. I Joseph, feel guilty about burdening my family. I secretly hope I don't wake up the next...

Hi Snowflake, Just saw your Monday post. I am new. I Joseph go to bed wishing to not wake up, but I do. Is there something you are grateful to have? Not in a religious way, just anything. Everyday I fight this. But thinking positive thoughts about what I am grateful to have, has helped. I do...

Hi, You are not alone. I am new as well. I have been here three days, and I am enjoying mostly the forums. I engage in the chat a little, but my mental status cant keep up with what is going on. Don't get me wrong, the chat people are very nice, I just need more thinking time to process and...

Good point, I forgot to mention in my earlier comment that both therapists knew what was going on. Joseph :)

You are very welcome. Have a great day, Joseph :)
