Lady999, Hello, I'm Ladyzero, welcome to P.C. You are in good company here. Don't be anxious talking it helps a lot. If you go to my profile and click to see where I've posted, you'll see some pretty pitiful, miserable bleetings of mine. How my life is spent, ( in bed 24/7 ) how unhappy I am, etc. I don't suffer with any of the problems many people here do, both mentally and some physically. For me it's just a crippling depression, but pain is pain, and we all are suffering in our own way. It's not a competition, who hurts the most, and no one judges. When I read some posts I want to give myself a right kick up the a r s e for wallowing in my misery soup. Anything to get motivated to get help would be a start for me, as I've let my dep take my spirit and zest, this last year. I've not lived, just existed. People here have posted such kind words to me, and it's so touching, because I am just one person, one, in this sea of many people here. That they have bothered to reply is heart warming, afterall they could just walk by, they are dealing with their own pain. Why bother with me, a stranger, a right royal miserable b i t * h at that !

I do try to give something back, if I read a post and can offer some advice or just a hug.
You will see here other people with the same problems as you, look around the forums, and make friends. Private message me if you'd like privacy to chat. I'm here most days as my schedule is somewhat lacking, and empty. I don't work at the moment, and I enjoy this site very much, both the receiving and giving.

So pull up a chair, my dear, and I'll make us all a nice cup of tea, and we'll chat .......
