I have no hope. I feel hopeless. I hate the way I behave.

I’m a 25 year old single woman who is desperate. I can’t trust anyone and I’m disappointed in myself and others. I have no hope of realizing my dreams, people always let me down. I don’t feel like trying anymore because what’s the point, I always screw everything up. I feel hopeless about life and the future. I hate the way I behave. I don’t understand why I keep repeating the same choices and mistakes in relationships. I’m always sad and don’t have any motivation to hang out with my friends or family anymore. The only time I feel ok is when I am high. Life is just too painful.

My wife wants me to quit drinking and using. I haven’t been able to stop. When I drink and use I get angry.

I’m a 52 year old male who is separated from my wife. My wife wants me to quit drinking and using and although I’ve tried I just can’t seem to put together any clean time. I’ve gotten 2 DUI’s and have almost lost my job because of calling out several times. She said if I don’t quit drinking and go to therapy she is going to divorce me. I am desperate because I love her but I haven’t been able to stop. She says I’m mean and we fight too much and she just can’t take it anymore. When I drink and use I get angry and take it out on her. I don’t know what to do which is why I’m here.

I’m too controlling and jealous. I have everything yet I have nothing that makes me happy. I’m always pissed off at someone or something and feel lonely most of the time.

I’m a 36 year old single male who is a professional, have a good job, family, and friends but just don’t enjoy the things I used to anymore. When I’m not working all I like to do is stay home and I never feel like socializing. I haven’t been in a relationship for a while but when I was they always said “I’m too controlling and jealous”. I have everything yet I have nothing that makes me happy. I’m always mad at someone or something and feel lonely most of the time.

I’m having nightmares. I feel like I’m going to die. I’m so tired I don’t know how long I can go on like this.

I’m a 30 year old woman with a child and all of sudden I’m having nightmares. When I’m at work I suddenly get overwhelmed with tightness in my chest, shortness of breath, I feel like I’m going to die. I start shaking and crying uncontrollably and have to go outside till it passes. My Doctor says they are panic attacks. I’m terrified I’m going to lose my job and I need my job to support my child. I’m so tired I don’t know how long I can go on like this.
