Things have settled down again. Somewhat. But the emptiness and meaningless is getting to me I think.

Sorry you had a rough morning. It will pass. It always does. These things come in cycles. I get hit with the urge to run away at the strangest times, still.

Keep fighting through it man…
It’s neuroplasticity. You gotta plug your own happiness in… there is a science behind what allows the brain to feel happy. Healthy foods, sunlight, physical activity… humor… it just gets deeper.
I know that void feeling… the desire for the cheap route to escape it… it takes a lot of work to keep finding new things that satisfy.
However… it’s the only way to reverse the corruption that occurs within the dopamine reward system. It’s gotta be trained away from the metaphorical dog food of alcohol if you will.

thanks for your honesty @everhopeful. I drink too but rarely talk about it because people are so judgemental. I’m glad I’m not the only one. I hope you feel better soon.
I’ve managed to get back into the workplace with meds so my work shifts keep that emptiness at bay. But sometimes it creeps up on me while I’m at work, I feel disgusted & can’t be bothered appeasing my needy managers.
Here to listen if you want to talk it out.
