While it is an escape from things in the moment, it's an escape from EVERYTHING...

What is so bad that you'd want to miss out on the potential of what lies ahead?
If it'd help, I will reveal some of my challanges...

I'm Bipolar with Depression, Social Anxiety, and Complex PTSD.
Was sexually abused as a child.
I'm Estranged from my Brother.
Cheated on by EVERY person I've given myself to.
My Mom and I didn't talk for 2+ years before she died. On her deathbed, she said she didn't want me at her funeral.
I was made to give up my first born.
I have MASSIVE sexual insecurities.
My Ex slept with my Brother while I was away at Boot Camp
Divorced 3X.
Self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence issues.
Can't hold/work a typical job.

Does that help? Sometimes, it helps to know what others are going through as a measure of what can be tolerated. I STILL look forward to life ahead because I dont KNOW what it holds for me. The curiosity of it intrigues me to think it HAS to get better. Was born very physically premature (2lbs 13oz) and know that my survival is a sign of my ability to overcome. And so I shall... how about you? :-)
