      😊🙌 love you too brother and thank you! Its definitely been one heck of a journey to get where I'm at now. I feel much better though. Tried to kick all the meds the doctor has me on last month but it's a lost cause. My depression, anxiety, and anger come back so fast when I stop my meds. I hate having to be that way but after being beaten so many times in life sometimes it's what needs to be done to stay on track

    I feel for you brother. My whole adult life I have suffered from depression. Tried to cut my life short by running my truck into a tree. That was 25 years ago. I have been in counseling for awhile now. 11 years sober, 12 years in April. Don't worry about falling off the wagon. This is my 3rd time trying to quit. I'm 55 and handicapped because of all the drugs and drinking. The Lord has a plan for you. Take one day at a time. Baby steps. God bless. Stay healthy. The first step is to admit you have a problem. Love from here to you.

I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy, noone really knows how terrible it is till they deal with it themselves. I'm haunted by the loss of them every night m, the outdoors is the only thing that keeps me going. It was hard for me to go out after losing dad because we went all the time together but I know he wouldnt want me to be bumming at home. Same with mom, she was proud of everything accomplished on here so I need to stick with it and work hard. I appreciate you contacting me, you're a good man🤛

    Dude, I struggled with this in Michigan for decades. I always looked forward to the fall and deer season but it was like a double edged sword. With it came overcast cloudy weather, everything turned brown and grey and cold and my season depression and anxiety would creep in. I struggled through the winter months in agony until august of 2019 when I finally moved to sunny Florida and my life changed. All sun, all the time. I will return to Michigan for vacation and to hunt again at some point put I feel some healthy and normal here. It took a lot of strength and courage but there are no more dreary depressing days or weeks or months on end.

      @@LTOutdoors15 at least get a court appointed attorney my man. Courts don t understand anything but screw you over especially without a lawyer. Just tell them you will pay whatever they want. Even if you dont have any cash they will give you time to pay. Its all about the mighty evil dollar my friend and its wrong but that's how the courts work. Once they get you in the system they make it hard as hell to get out.
