Ok I'm hoping this is the right place to come to, I'm not sure what's allowed to be shared where & who with? I'm just basically at the end of my rope and looking for people who can relate, or at least not judge too harshly for my condition. Um yeah ok get in touch if you'd like. Messed up as I am I still want to help others who might feel this way #PayItForward
Think about your day and how you can make room for some joy and kindness to brighten up someone else’s. How can you make room in your routine? Maybe you can offer someone a small bottle of hand sanitizer or a packet of hand sanitizing wipes. Or maybe you volunteer some time to read to kids during your library’s virtual events. There are plenty of “small” ways to spread smiles — even if you can’t always see them.

Think about a time where someone you didn’t know did something nice for you. Maybe they held the door open for you while your hands were full or helped you carry your groceries your car. Or maybe they helped pay for your bus ticket when you realized you didn’t have exact fare.

What was the last nice thing you did for someone? Maybe you grabbed something off the top shelf for someone who couldn’t quite reach. Or maybe you bought your kids (or your parents!) a treat for making it through the first day back to school (however that looks this year).

Today someone asked me “How is your dad doing?”. It may seem simplistic to most but it meant a great deal to me. No one outside of family members ever asks me about any personal aspect of my life with genuine concern or without selfish intentions or motives behind their “concern”. Thank you to that awesome person! I pray that blessings are gifted to you and your family are 100x greater than the blessing of temporary meaning you gifted me! 🙏🏾❤️

The Yellow Socks... green scrubs... and a very difficult 24 hours. After coming face to face with the darkest thoughts of my life, I was able to make a call to a local ER and drive myself in for treatment. It was scary making that call. I was beyond morose as I drove and walked into the hospital thanks to feeling like a broken human.
Then something unexpected happened... After alerting my wife to my location and my decision to start an intensive treatment program, my wife wrote me a message that simply said, “I love you and I am proud of you for getting help.”
Wow... those 12 words lifted my spirits in ways I never thought possible. This is my partner of 17 years being kind again... the mother of my child being encouraging... my best friend standing with me... I thought she had completely given up on me.
I can say with all honesty that for the first time in 4 years, I can see a bit of the potential for my life and the unlimited value of being a part of this world if I can continue to gain strength and health.
That change in my thinking was my first slice of positive progress in a very, very long time...
Granted, that progress began as I spent 13 hours in “The Unit” under lock and key and being given the opportunity to speak with a psychiatrist at length.
I cant say I am all the way there but I am at least able to better understand that we are all different in our response to our world and the emotional triggers within it. The confidence is waiting for anyone ready to accept that we are not alone in this fight.
The many words of encouragement from complete strangers has been the most surprising, amazing, and uplifting part of this saga.
Whether from the words written on this site or the woman working at the gas station today that saw my wristband from the hospital and took the time to encourage me and give me a hug.
I feel like a new day is finally beginning for my family and myself. I now see light from trust being built into my own abilities to combat this apprehension of my mind and turn these experiences into strength.
Thank you to all of you that wrote to me and for being a part of my journey. I will keep you posted on the latest news.
What’s next??
Tomorrow morning at 9:30, my wife and I are going to court to review her request for a formal separation and a restraining order due to her concern for the safety of herself and our son during my treatments.
No matter what, like the message left for me by one of you... regardless of what is asked of me tomorrow, my son and my desire to be a part of his life is more important that anything else.
Deep breathe... Now... Let’s get better. ✌🏼 #ThankYou #PayItForward
