7. Thank you, dearest CaliforniaPeggy.
I am getting help. It's just that I've been in this kind of pain for over a year now and it's not getting better. I have been doing physical therapy and almost everything the doctors' tell me to do (only problem is with my eating disorder).
Just needed to vent. Thank you, you are lovely. I love you.

11. Dear elshiva...
You have nothing to apologize for...We all go through the strife of life at different times.:hug:
I love seeing you here...You're a very special soul...
In spite of all you're going through, you still manage to bring light and joy. I've been dealing with chronic pain also....
A couple of years ago I went through months and months of physical therapy. Pain and depression can be a vicious circle...Please know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel....I know it's just words, but I've been there....
I also know how scary it can be.....
Please visit more often...Do whatever you can to get your mind in a different place...
Know that you are loved...
You're a sweetie, elshiva...please feel better soon.


peace~

17. I had no idea -
we earlier tonight had a neat little exchange about hot dogs, and I liked it very much.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Believe me, your noting of the bologna-wrapped hot dogs opened my mind and gave me a giggle - hardly the work of someone useless. You did good!

Don't be afraid. You've got a lovely light that shines thought, and though I don't know you, I think you're awfully nice.

Eat something. You'll feel better.

LOOK!!!!!

30. Never apologize for being depressed. It can be totally crippling, and it's not your fault.
And by blaming ourselves for it (I'm guilty of this myself, so I know) we just feed it and make it worse. Thinking we somehow failed by not being all happy for others just makes us feel even more useless. It's gets to the point where the depression just feeds on itself, and that can get hairy. Don't add to whatever has you down by getting on yourself for feeling that way in the first place.

Feel free to drop on by the Mental Health Forum if you ever need to talk to people who know depression all to well, among other things. Even with me down there it's a pretty nice forum. :)

Hope you feel better soon. :hug:
