wits end

[Brayton]

Gotta work late tonight but am already pretty burned out and angry. Want to run away but that is not an option so will stuff it I guess. Feel backed into a corner. Don't know what to do.

Try to keep in mind that tomorrow is another day that will offer something different, hopefully better. That's all we can do, right? Take it one little step at a time. I frequently find that I am thankful for the ability to "stuff it", to put up my guard, use my defenses that took so long to build. But now I use them more appropriately. I can use them to get through the day or night but they are not always there, getting in the way. You have that ability too and tonight will be a good time to put them into affect. Let them down again in the morning and see how the day looks. You will get through tonight because you can.
Peace and better days!!

Brother Brett,

I know that it's hard to believe (and it's REALLY hard for me to say right now!), the best advice I can give you is to hang on. Just hang on.

As hard as it may be to believe, things will get less difficult over time, then they will get easier. The alternatives are limited and not very appealing, depending on your belief system (even a non-belief system!).

Everyday for the past few weeks, I've told myself that I can get through the day, and some days it works. Other times, it doesn't. But it doesn't mean that I want to give in. I don't want to cheat myself on the time that could be better.

I'm rambling, but I don't want to give up on hope. You shouldn't either, Brett, because at the end of the day, it can be the only thing to have, and it's the last thing we should allow taken from from us.

Peace and love, Brett,

Scot

Guys the thing to remember right now is that you are never alone again. We are all here for each other. Shoulders to lean and cry on. Brothers to rant and rave in front of and to share a cameraderie that can be found almost nowhere else. That is the beauty of this site.

Just remember that my brothers. When all else is percieved to be hopeless there is always us for each other.

Brayton, Hold on man... we all struggle with this now and then. And I think that we can all feel how hard it is to get yer butt out the door and stare life in the face. You CAN do this!! Like the others have said, use what defences you can, tommorrow is another day , you deserve to give yourself the chance to enojoy the next day. Hopefully it will feel better

You deserve to proud of yourself for reaching out to our brothers here on this discussion group.

Hey Brett... PM me if you need to, OK?

You're going through a rough spot right now, and to compound it with work stress, etc. can't be helping. I'm here if you need me.
