Don't worry Avidfan..
Matthew 6:25-34 NLT
[25] “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? [26] Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? [27] Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? [28] “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, [29] yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. [30] And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? [31] “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ [32] These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. [33] Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. [34] “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
This bible verse gave me a lot of peace avidfan..I hope it can do for you too..

Oh yes, I've tried everything under the sun. There was a time in my life I was using it well beyond recommended levels and going through bottle of 600 25mg pills like candy. The tolerance builds so fast, I was doing 100mg nightly, beyond when I think it was actually helping - I think I ended up needing them to sleep at all, so one day I gave up. Similar story with Diazepam.
Fortunately I managed to get some sleep last night!

Ok considering it's Monday. Feel less anxious as now I can actually take action to deal with certain work things. But still feel a bit apprehensive. Keeping busy helps but don't want to get so busy I end up exhausted! All my timers are reset, I will try to beat last week's goals for my various work and personal things. Helps make boring things feel like a bit of fun! I've even got a negative target for general day to day BS like checking emails all the time. This can turn into many wasted hours spread over the week so I have set a target of 3 hours for checking and responding to emails, Was just inside that last week. I do the same amount of productive work via the emails, I just don't check 20 times with no new messages. Often, one time I absent mindedly check, there is some bomb in there at just the wrong time, so am only checking when I am in work mode and ready to deal with whatever is in there!
Upset, my niece that's staying on my couch says all she wants to do is die. This is after a few weeks of her drinking and not eating. She eats nothing for days. I encourage her to take a walk and eat. This morning I said to look for an apartment or a job she says she wants to die. Out patient would cost her $100 per day copay so she won't do that. Now she says she is going to go to an extended living hotel. I just don't know what else to do.
I’m sorry, Lane—for your situation & your predicament. I don’t know what tangibly and feasibly, you could hope to offer her at this stage, and place of where she is at. She needs more advanced care, on the professional side, and on the personal. Best you can probably do is to continue to stand by her side. Let her know that you care, and love her. And are there for her. Will always remain in her corner. I think to try to problem solve for her, when she’s reached this point. Is not going to work very well. She’s got an underlying condition or feeling/compulsion - of wanting to die. Then on the more surface level are the behaviors which correspond with that. Such as self injurious behavior; drinking, starving, etc. Maybe she has a genetic predisposition to alcohol? Or other acute mental illness. Either way: you can see why they so often go, “hand in hand.” Anyway, I wish you all the best with this… simply try to understand your limitations. Have a good day 😌
See @Lane : it’d be a little bit like someone coming along and trying to tell you, not to feel depressed, or to feel suicidal (ever). When they, themselves are either not currently in—or have never been in—such a place or a state and a time… in other words, they may say; I just did this/this/& this~ then problem solved * so, why can’t you too? I don’t understand it! No? Ok, well just try that that & that then -& that oughta take right care of it. Trust me! I can see this more clearly than you. I don’t know what’s wrong with you? Why won’t you… “Help me, help you!” (Kind of a thing & not at all or in any way suggesting that it’s your kind or type of mindset in this case / only to try to offer you an alternative and/or an opposing view). . . Good luck 🍀
You’ve got to generally have some will (or want/desire), in order for the or your skill to show and manifest itself in correcting things once on a setting & a stage such as this: your niece, that is @Lane // for if you don’t care (to get better), or you don’t have a care in the world. Then not much else is likely going to matter. Sometimes even with professional treatment, or help. Personal, as well… I’m afraid ~ it all just depends & just because she’s not read y to make that change and want for that commitment (to improve herself) today; doesn’t mean she won’t be read y tomorrow or one day! ☺👌🙏
Tired and depleted. What a bastard day. I started writing a report. I get paid one hour of work for this report and 1 hour in realised it's going to take me 3 hours or more and I can't change the pay rate now so it will actually cost me money in other lost earnings to write it. And it's a tricky horrible one. My last face to face meeting rang at appointment time to say they forgot and were on their way - so I started at 6.30 instead of 6.15 and so finished at 7.30. As luck would have it the 8.03 train was cancelled so I had to get the 7.51 or not get home till after 9. After rushing like mad to gather my belongings I got the the station just in time to see someone being very ill all over the place. The designated platform had 3 trains stacked up on it, they changed the platform with 2 minutes to go. I got on the train and sat in a daze, then the robot voice started reading a completely different destination. I did a double take and got off the train, there was no other train in front. I got back on and asked someone if I was on the right train, they shrugged yes, appearing to have no idea what I was talking about. The robot voice started off with the wrong list of destinations again, then cut out, a second went by, and the driver clearly pressed the correct button this time round. Little mistakes like that take hours off my life 🤯 Without further hitches I walked the half hour home in a starving and dazed state. At least I'm WFH tomorrow and Wednesday. Already exhausted. Haven't even begun to deal with the really difficult stuff this week is going to deliver!
To top it all, I put a bet on Djokovic to win as he was 2 sets to 1 down, when I got in I found out he'd won so went to check my winnings - and realised I'd actually given up and "cashed out" my bet to cut my losses, so I'd won nothing 😒😢🤷🤯 (It was only a silly little £1 bet!)

A little less alone, thanks to those who said I have a place here. You all are very kind and I'm feeling really down and alone. I don't think ahead too much, I am getting concerned I'm headed for more aloneness. And now my younger got kicked out, I had said I'd never let him in my car. Guess I should have stuck to it, I feel sorry for him, but he's treating it like a trash can again. I think tomorrow i tell him go see what shelters are open in the city. I cant go on and he cant like this. Thanks for this place to vent. and hugs to everyone who needs them
