((((jenna))))

Thank you for reaching out here and for asking for support. I know you are having a really rough time and that things feel like they can get no better. But something tells me that you do have a small glimmer of hope for you reached out here and that is a start.

So many times I have felt the way you are feeling. In fact this has been a really rough time for us. Wanting to self medicate and make everything blurr into one perpetual night will keep you caught in that very place that you do not want to be in.

Time will heal those things that hold us down. So many times it is the darkest before the dawn. This is something that my very wonderful friend said to me just not too long ago. I know the darkness and the breaking point, and I know it is not easy to be there. Sometimes it hurts more than words can say. Sometimes it feels like it will never end. Sometimes it seems that if we stop everything, things will get better.

Truth is, when you come back it is still going to be there waiting. Trying to find some way to deal with it so it will stop is how you get to the other side. I know it is not easy but it is possible. I think we all have been where you are and those very thoughts have played in my mind I know. But tomorrow did come and things looked a little brighter in the day.

Jenna, sounds to me like you are pretty much down so I think the only way you have to go is up. God does hear you and he is listening. He needs you here to answer. We are all holding you up in prayers and are walking here with you. You can do this. And we are holding on with you.

Thank you for reaching out and posting. Please keep reaching and letting us know how you are doing. I am here if you need or want to talk. Just PM me. Sending gentle hugs and loving thoughts and prayers.
