I can feel myself slowly sliding down. I'll have a good day every now and then but that doesn't make everything better. It's more like taking 5 steps back and then taking 1 or 2 steps forward. I see where I'm heading to & I'm fighting to stay away, but it feels like I'm only delaying the inevitable. I don't know what to do. If I suffer another major loss in my life that would be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Most people around this point would "check" themselves into a mental hospital. I can't do that, not only because of my distrust for doctors, but also for me I need consistency. If I'm not working for an extended period of time I feel worthless. Making my wife do the chores around the house herself makes me feel worse. Sitting around an adult daycare is not for me. I need to be active with my mind. So sitting around playing cards & watching tv all day is not for me.

I can relate to some (or much) of this, sadly.

For sure, sitting around in some sort of "adult" daycare, or not being able to (be active with) my mind is NOT for me

To be honest, most on tv bores the crap out of me (as well as often triggers me)

Although my posts suck (and sometimes) few can perhaps relate - I relate to (too much) of this

As I'm feeling like deleting all my posts tonight, I'll log off and say good night.

Can definitely understand, I don't have much in the way of advice as I'm pretty much in the same boat and haven't worked out the answer myself. So I will just leave some hugs for you instead and hope that might help a little, even if it's just so you don't feel so alone in this

I don't even have an adult daycare to go to (I'm still too young). Most of the time it's sitting in front of the computer and try to find something to do.

That's an unpleasant, scary feeling. Over time it does its own damage.

Wishing you a few extra steps forward...
