Hi, Pierro,
Thanks for your encouragement. It means a lot to me right now. And I agree that typing is a good coping mechanism. I'm so afraid, though, that if I continue to type that people will get frustrated with my continued feelings of sadness. I know that there is only so much you can say to a person before you have to give up. I keep hoping that I'll have something good to report, but I don't look forward to it because I've been this way for so many years. The only difference between then and now, is that even though I was depressed, it wasn't an everyday thing. I could usually find occasional happiness in between my depression. Now, however, it's been an everyday, all day thing.
Anyways, thanks again for your support.

Its not that they dont care but maybe feel uncomfortable, but thats just my take on it. I'm always telling my kids. "Dont hang around people that make you feel bad about yourself". You dont deserve to treat yourself like that. Maybe you are your own worst enemy. After all that you still have it in your heart to remember the people that were good to you. I think you are amazing and stronger than you think. Don't give up PLEASE! I'm sorry I have no words of wisdom for you. Just Keep typing. I find its better than therapy in a way, because no matter what time of night it is there's always somebody there for you. Best Wishes.  |
