(((((depressedalaskan))))))

Hang in there our friend. We are right there bringing out the lifeboat to bring you back in. I know it feels that the depression is pulling you so hard and away from land but it is lying to you.

I know where you are and it is hard but you are not alone. I know the feeling of wanting to sink--and how much easier sometimes it seems to be to do just that. But paddling to stay shows your strength.

At times like this it feels so much easier to let go, but know we are right there walking or floating with you. We will not leave you there alone. Each time you reach, we will be right there. I liked what Rohag said----"If enough of us drift together out there, maybe we could link arms and be recognized as an island...?"

I am willing to link arms and be right there for you. Cheering you on everystep of the way. We care so much and want you to know we are right here. Please keep reaching and posting. We can defeat depression one step at a time---one hour, one minute, one second at a time. What ever it takes just keeping on and reaching out.

It cannot defeat us if we keep fighting. And together we can conquor it in time. Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts. We care.
