DEX, Thank you for your post...I will try to look at it from that perspective; I do find much truth to what you are saying, as I have been one who has posted a few "downers" too; perhaps I was a little harsh in my initial post and if it has offended any I sincerely apologize--all I can say is that I have realized that no one is going to crawl in after us and make us come out of our "hole" as you say. As this is my first online support forum, this is my first experience with any kind of support in this manner; as a matter of fact, this is my first "support group" and overall have found it to be quite useful.
I have had my ups and downs; and perhaps I expect too much from others and also myself...I think perhaps I rely too much on the proverb "fake it 'til you make it."
As far as Rapunzels "Pity Party" I happen to love it...lots of good food there.
If my post has offended anyone, I apologize; perhaps it is meant to serve as a "kick in the pants" not only for you, but maybe especially for me.
I don't sit high above and look down, I am looking up and hoping that I can achieve the ideals that I have set for myself...Sometimes 'tis a lonely road, but I am a warrior, and I will continue to wage war against my demons.

Peace,
Jon
