After Katelyn has devastated my life, I’m left picking up the pieces. My life is in shambles. I’m in debt more then I have ever been before, my laptop was just stolen this morning, I’ll be homeless as of March 1st, I’ve lost my daughter, I’ve lost a lot of good friends, I’ve lost so much. I am starting to wonder if I will ever get back the life I had or if I should just give up.
Right now I’m overwhelmed with the problems in my life, there is so much going on in my life that’s wrong that I don’t know where to start to get positive things going. I don’t know where to start picking up the pieces, where I should start cleaning up, and how I should clean it up.
I guess I’m looking for suggestions, prayer, and any form of help possible. I don’t know where to start cleaning up this mess, and it seems to still be getting larger every day.

I would start by suing the shit out of Katelyn and her family. They owe you some dough
How about no?
Quit blaming others. No one has the power to “devastate” your life, but you.
Quit feeling sorry for yourself like you have been doing for months on end. You’re like a broken record over here. Quit with the implying suicide.
Be thankful for something. Everyone can find something. Think of this instead of dwelling on circumstances. Go do something nice for someone else. Anyone. Get the focus off of yourself.
Point taken. Thanks.
I would deal with the emotional problems first. I am doing this as well. my falsh backs from my PTSD have been getting worse. So what I am doing is everytime I have one, I will write out everything I remember from it, every detail. And then how it made me feel. Every fear, anger, rage, saness, all the emotions I felt.
I write down everything I can remember about the time I went through such things as well. I got a journal going on it. When I completely fill up the journal I am going to go out into the woods somewhere, and set up a little campfire, and then burn the entire journal and watch it turn to ash and watch the smoke rise up into the air.
I will imagine that all I had written down, the events and the emotions are being let loose into the air with the smoke, and use it as a symbol of my letting go of those things. I will do this as much as I need to till All my repressed memories are gone.
I would suggest something simular to you. As well as a good therapist to talk things out with. I can not ever overstate how much that a good therapist actually helps! To be allowed to rant, cry, be angry, sad, rage, and not be judged for it! It allows you to get things off your chest to a nuetral party that you wouldn’t be able to, even to a friend!
I would also start looking to the little things in life that you still enjoy. Start doing the things that use to make you happy before Katelyn was ever in the picture. Start reading on your favorite subjects, find a good church if you are looking for a new one.
Make yourself get out in the community, even if you don’t want to. Even if it is something as simple as going to the library. And hang out with the friends who have stayed by you, have nights out or even nights in with the boys!
Look for work also. But look in an area you are actually interested in! You are more likely to be sucessful that way. You are a great advocate, why not apply to your Center for Independent Living to be an advocate there?
That is my advice.
