Still holding on?

There is an old country song called, “If we make it through December!” The holidays are usually harder for folks that suffer from depression or anxiety & can trigger a lot of emotions. So, how is everything going for everyone since the holidays are passed & are you feeling like it’s let up some?
The stress of Christmas is passed & the financial strain is lighter!! It’s been a rough month in a few other ways, but I’m still fighting the fight & I'm still holding on!!

Keep killing it in school bro. You'll be very proud of yourself in the end. Like my granddad used to say "get that piece of paper" meaning college degree. Keep pushing and stay strong with the Xanax. Your right it is effective also as we all know easy to abuse. Reach out if u have to, don't keep that stress locked up or it would be real easy to scarf down an extra xany and wind up doing something stupid. Peace guys
The financial strain gets a little heavier now that I’m returning to school next week. Books are absurdly pricey. Gas for commuting to campus is more than for commuting to work. Plus I can’t work nearly as much. It’s time to dial it in and live Gangnam style for a while
I just need to stay away from the pills. I gave myself a maximum hard cap of 1 mg of Xanax a day, and I plan on sticking to that. It’s a really low dose for me and I’m hoping it’s just enough.
That definitely makes it rough bro. The positive side is that it won’t always be this way & once you graduate it will be worth it all! My friend starved through college for years & now he’s a Dr making more a year than I do in 3 lol.
It’s even worse when you have to cut back work hours for school & you need the $$. You’re right, books are outrageous!!!
The pills are a demon man. I understand it’s bitter sweet cause you have to have them for the anxiety & then you’re upset with yourself because you do need them. Stick to your plan & try to stay positive bro & then you can lower the dose down the road!!!
I’m not a career person. Money isn’t really important to me. I want a low stress job and enough to survive on. That’s it. I don’t get the big deal with having money. Maybe because I never had it. I doubt it’s the ticket to happiness. What’s important is feeling useful in some way. That kind of self worth can’t be bought. If the pills help to make me more useful, I’m all for it. I don’t think Xanax is evil or anything. The poison is in the dose. It can be used responsibly just like everything else.
You are a single man? No kids or anything? (I amnt really assuming anything, just curious)
Im the same as you WRT money. It is merely a means to an end and not something intrinsic to cherish. But.... as life gets on.... shit starts to get wayyyyyy expensive. Particularly if you end up with a Mrs. and in particular if you end up having, or adopting, or whatever; children.
It is the sum of the expected (bills/life costs) and the unexpected (fkn surgery or winter sickness or blown headgasket or whatever) that makes it important to have a little buffer of $'s if possible, at least as time goes by, that is.
I’m engaged. No children and no desire for any. We both took steps to make sure that wouldn’t happen.
You lucky b@$tard lol
I feel the same way about $$ ... of course I’ve always been poor lol. I look forward to leaving the steel mill & going to the ministry full time! There’s no $ in it, but like you said it’s about helping others & that the reward I’m looking for!!
