Seriously. Call 9-1-1 and they will send a squad and the police, NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OR ASHAMED OF, and they will get you the proper help that you are asking for. I did that about a year ago and I don't regret it one bit. GOOD LUCK, FRIEND.

Get a trusted baby-sitter, go to a short term mental facility (2 week, 30 day) and get some help. Do not feel ashamed. I did the same type things that you have done. My family doesn't forget anything no matter how much you straighten up. I believe in you and so do hundreds of other people here. Many of us are in the same situation. God be with you. E-mail me if you want to talk. Peace. The staff at these places are qualified to help you. Until you get this stuff straighten out in you head you will not feel any better.

Hell you are half way there. You know what your problems are, what they are stemming from, and you love your life just not yourself. And that is because you have been a bad person in your past . You say Drugs and Did in the past tense which is great, meaning you are clean now so work on staying that way. Low self esteem has a way of pulling you back towards self destructive behavior such as that. I think you see your children and your future as a positive force in your life, and I think you will make a great Mom and wife( really), You just need to learn to forgive yourself. Talk to a shrink and be as honest with them as you are with us. Good luck. And congratulations on your first step.
And P.S Forrest Gump is not an inspirational movie,
anyone who think it is, is a person that should be institutionalized.

well i m kind of depressed too..and i dun know who can help me. i had read a book on self-improvement. so i did what the book says. u know sometimes u might feel better if u talk to someone. Someone whom u can trust and who does not step into ur life that much. i do sometimes stay alone, thought to myself about my life my future what i can do and what is really beyond my control. At least it helps a little for me. However, for your case, never ever go to those cronies again. Say to urself that there must be somethings useful about you since you are already in the world for 18 years. For me, i m 27, more than a quarter of a centery but i can't see what i m gd in. Well i just wait.And one more thing, maybe you could watch some inspirtual movies such as forest gump. remember, u are not alone.

honestly u dont need to go see a proffesional... i went thru da same thing... i had a miscarriage at 15 n 17 n i got pregnant again wen i 18 n had my first son. n i was a real drug addict n i didnt go to a proffesional to help me stop wen i found out i was pregnant. its all on u... i was strong enough to say no im dont none or to say im a stop n stop for good... n u can also go to da bookstore and finds some really good self help books. i didnt really think dey worked but wen i went n go one for rape victims ( i was raped at da age of 9 by not a stranger but by my uncle) it actually helped n it has some activities u can do with ur partner so he can also understand wat ur goin with n help u get over it...

Sounds like to me you would benefit from a shrink or a family councilor. I have benefited from both. I also checked myself into a behavior clinic once, and will never do that again. It is like prison many many are not nice people there. Most are drug addicts.

I think professional help will help you overcome those fellings of depression, sometimes talking to someone helps. Life is hard but don't give up you are a human being worth to live!
