I think we all need to take a step back and realize no offense was meant. I've been depressed for a year now and I this week I finally feel it lifting. I have received here empathy, kudos, wise words and very good suggestions. But it takes meds to pull me out, but I am encouraged when I hear positive stories from people who are not taking the medication highway.

I'm relatively new here, but can understand sadness regarding missing some that have left the forums. I'm sure that a lot of friends are made here. I know there are people I would miss if they left.
I can understand what Trippin2.0 is saying and will be glad to see more posts from her that show us the power of positive feedback and great ideas or just to ramble. Everyone has something to offer. Some need empathy, others need hope. I hope everyone is will together to make it even a greater place to share.

Thank you for sharing you feelings with us, Trippin2.0
