Hmm..I was under the impression you were doing real well, at least according to some of your previous messages, you were talking about new design biz and how you owned everyone??

In any case I've been where you're at before and I'm still struggling with collecting overdue bills, paying my own bills, getting steady work etc but I have a rather optimistic look on things, I am seeing a counseller for anxiety and to work out through a 1.5 year separation from my wife. This helps alot, also I set a regular schedule and treat my design business as a business with daily routines and a very precise task manager, just like a job, I leave 'work' at 7pm and that's that, I may still fuck around on the boards past that time but I find keeping a solid routine really helps. I've been doing the crazy spinning sleep schedule for the past 4 years and I just put my mind to it and changed all that. Make short and longterm plans, write them down on paper and then do what it takes to make them happen.

Also in my case I had issues with pot and anxiety so I said goodbye to that almost a month ago, stopped drinking except once a week, pay more attention to eating right and work out 3 times a week, all this really helps remove the stress..it's true.

In any case, I know it's tough when you're in that dark place, but try to keep positive and find something in the future you can work towards and reach out for it. Good luck.
