Rough 2 weeks

Day 20

I need some support guys. I’ve been hanging on for almost 14 days but things just getting worse and worse. My grandma died two weeks ago, I got rejected from a job I have been wanting to work in and finally my girlfriend broke up with me yesterday. I just feel so hollow right now. How do you guys continue this journey when things go so bad?

Ah man :/ I’m so sorry, on all fronts. If I may share my personal experience, while I don’t fully know what your going through I understand that it’s so difficult ,back in 2023 me and my girlfriend broke up, and I loved her more than anything in this world, I let my life spiral out of control for months on end and sometimes it still affects me. In my personal experience, what helped me was getting up and forcing myself out of the house, I went and hung out with friends constantly, I went and forced myself to be in society (going to coffee shops etc…). It helped me a lot to force myself to do things, while I have some bad days still (when I comes to missing my ex) I can confidently say that I’m doing leagues better than I was before

Sorry for your loss on those fronts K, just keep showing up, pain is the touchstone for spiritual progress. I lost my girl recently also, it was very hard to deal with but I said to myself when tempted to act out, “how is this going to improve things and will I find the answer in it?” It helped reaffirm that I’m on the right path

And that’s exactly why you shouldn’t do loser things like masturbate. Yea all that happened but you have to keep going, turn it into anger and go apply for more jobs, go find another girl. Easier said than done but you know what I mean. Why pile a such a low scummy thing like masturbate onto the list of things? Sorry for your loss, I lost my grandmother in December

Knowledge that times will change and get better always helps put bad times in perspective. I’m sorry to hear about your grandmother passing, and losing your girlfriend absolutely sucks. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Don’t like the demon of our addiction use those circumstances to affect a relapse. Other jobs will come. I will pray for you, if you’d want me to.
