Start a new one and let go of the old one. Probably the scariest move any person can do,but also maybe the most rewarding decision that person will ever make.

find hope, if not findable in your current circumstances, then change the circumstances in order to find hope and happiness. rarely can we do it alone after, for so many years, our brains have been almost pre-wired to feel despair. getting outside of ourselves and making friends who uplift us is important. if the old "bar crowd" seemed too hypocritical, then go to new places where people accept you and encourage you and befriend you. good luck! of course, if you feel that you are at risk of hurting yourself, call 911, the ER, psych emergency, your doctor to get immediate consultation.

I was in that position awhile back. It just didnt seem like I had any direction, and that most people in my age bracket were somuch better off than I was. I just one day got fed up with feeling sorry for myself and decided to do something about it. I went back to school at 36 taking night classes and still working at a job that didnt pay a whole lot but I was doing 10+ hours of overtime so the bills got payed. Well this did a couple things for me. 1. I started having a feeling of pride as I was doing pretty good with grades and all. 2. I didnt have a whole lot of time to feel sorry for myself. So I guess my advice to you is to fill your time with something that benefits you. Join a club. Become active in your church. go take some classes, Join a gym. Become active in a community group. Whatever something that will fill your time, and make you feel good about yourself.

This is a good first step as i feel most ppl in here really do care. Depending on the severity of emotion from the local suicide hotline to looking up an old friend has many varients. Other than expensive therepy there are some really good support groups out there in the local yellow pages. I have been fed up enough to think of hurting myself. The depression was Nothing id ever felt. My case was a combination of bad choices and even worse situations. I did seek professional help and with medicine have maintained a decent level. But that can only take one so far and as therepy to me is hogwash i have used friend, family and chatrooms to purge myself of the terrible lows i get with this awful illness. Some really good chat rooms too. God bless all those who suffer and please dont think it will get better on its own. Seek help today.

Make a list of the things you would like to change. Then choose just one item at a time to work on. Before you know it, you will be happy with your life. Life is all about choices. :D Good Luck :D

Read VS Angel's answer. Then follow up. Change some of the choices you have made. Be completely honest with yourself when making your choices and changes. If you need help. ABers can support you.

I tell them the same thing that I'd tell myself. And, that is to stop doing whatever they are doing that is causing them to feel that way. Avoid negative people as much as possible because they will only bring you down. Start making some changes in the way that you think and that is to think positive even though it may be very hard to do. Set your priorities as you start to work at making the changes.
