[QUOTE="klmno, post: 197856, member: 3699"] Wow, Witz, I'm sorry you are feeling this low. I can't help you with the smoking, since I won't lie about it- I smoke outside the house. But, I hope you don't give into going back with the clot it caused you before. Now, regarding self-destructive thoughts or actions. I think some of us are prone to it. I think we grew up internalizing things and blaming ourselves, and maybe there is even a genetic component related to depression, yadda, yadda... Bottom line, it is something I have to fight sometimes, and lately it's been a fight. I visualize that negative, self-perpetuating "wheel" as something I don't ever want to be on again. It's too hard to get off of. This is easier said than done right now for me, but if you can force yourself to do something you enjoy and that will make you feel better about yourself, it will be much more strengthening for you then slipping backwards. I'm not suggesting that you become a martyr or give all your valuables to charity, but If you've been intending to get back into painting, or reading, or refinish a piece of furniture, or whatever, and can force yourself to do it, it would probably make you feel better. If it doesn't or if you need a night out with the girls to vent and get your mind off things before you can even try that, give me a call, we'll go hang out and b***ch about our frustrations, eat well, sleep it off, then maybe we can get motivated tomorrow. :D [/QUOTE]
