I've been there bud; it's like being hit by a train. About the time I went through my situation, I read this book: http://www.amazon.ca/Power-Your-Subconscious-Mind-Revised/dp/0553583182 You sound like a strong person, this book will help anyone become a stronger person. If nothing else, it will give you food for thought to occupy some of the time otherwise spent on negative thoughts.

Best wishes, Dan
 
You just turned 30. I have a picture of myself, when I turned 30, in a portrait with my wife and daughter. And in that picture I can see the pain in my eyes, because I can remember what I was going through then. Things got better.

Can you remember when you were a little boy, in school, and everything seemed like a really big deal. And now you can look back at that and see it wasn't the end of the world after all? Listen to me. That is happening to you again.

Keep your head about you. This too shall pass. And now you're old enough to know that things that will get better, and you'll be happy again, and you'll love life again soon enough. Life is good, you know that.

i to am 30, and can probably relate to this fella on more than one level(ill bet similar situations)

not trying to hijack the thread, but just wanted to say terriffic advice nathan, and thanks, i actually needed to hear that myself, kind of a reality check:thumbup:
 
The good book tells us the prayers of a righteous man availeth much. The sincere prayers of an atheist are OK too. You dont have to believe in someones else's G**D to pray. Pray to what you know for strength, wisdom and forebearance. (Just dont talk to the bottle!!:eek:) You are a man, rooted in the earth. Take root and grow strong. One day she will look back and see what a man you are. ;)
 
My prayers are with you! Been there with the first wife. She left one day going to work & never returned. A month later I learned she had returned to her old boyfriend. A year later after much heartbreak & soul searching I met the wife I have been married to now for 31 years! Hang in there brother. Better times are ahead. Been through some rough times with this one too, but in the end, its all good. Like the one fellow said, just don't turn to the bottle. Hang in there. Fred
 
Hang in There ! Dan !
Thank you all so very much,I've been feeling so hopeless,alone and overwhelmed,this thread really made me fell better.
God grant me the serenity to accept the thing's I cannot change ,courage to change the thing's I can,
and wisdom to know the difference
 
Remember that if you are at the bottom there is no place but up to go. I have been to the bottom and I ain't going back. Prayers and best wishes.
 
Prayers sent.

Hang in there. I know it looks all black now but daylight is just around the corner.

Things are sometimes bad in our lives. I look back and see one really bad six month period. I lost a family to divorce, a house to a hurricane - flood, got demoted, transfered, and then laid off when the oilfield died in the 80's.

Been married to a great woman for 20 years, both the sons are reconciled to me, and there are four wonderful grandchildren.
 
Dan, You have my hopes and prayers. I am glad to hear you are looking for some professional help. In my experience, it is a God send. I know you feel down but I urge you not to look to suicide for an answer. Both of my parents tried to solve their problems that way. That was 28 years ago. I still don't know if it solved their problems but I can tell you a lot about the pain and problems it caused. You don't know me but if you need to talk, PM or email me. Kevin

Been saying that every night as part of my prayers for the past 20yrs.
 
Prayers and smoke sent. It may be hard to believe (Trust me , I've been somewhere near) things can get better if you trust in your own strength, add the strength of friends and strangers, and put your faith in a force more powerful than any of us alone.

Be well and stay strong.

Bill
