Hello from Riverworld, somewhere in the Rockies.

Hi Folks-

Welcom to the party, Shadowdove. Happy to hear you are okay and hope today will be a better day for you. Maybe when you feel a little better, you can take the pledge with us, promising not to harm yourself and kicking suicide to the curb for the next 24 hours. Or you can just come here to talk-or rant-but someone will always listen.

Meanwhile, I must take a break for a couple of months. This has nothing to do with this thread or PC or any particular person. It is because I spend so much dam time in here that my characters are getting disgusted with me and threatening to revolt if I don't go back to the book. I figure two months and I'll be back.

In the meantime, Gaylegg has graciously offered to help out, so please be kind to her and don't forgeet to make your pledge every day. I will be making mine via email.

Please keep in mind the things we have talked about-both mental and physical. Take the pledge and don't dwell on suicide-you will find that making that promise to yourself will lighten your load considerably.
Eat healthy, get off sugar, and exercise. I intend to keep a chart so that when I check back in with you, I can share how hard I've been working. (And I do intend to work hard!)

Remember that recovery is possible if we just tap into the power we already have inside of us. I have not been depressed, manic or anxious for almost two months now, and I will let you know if I have continued success with that. (And I will!)

My contact info is on my profile page if you need to reach me.

I am so proud of each and every one of you. None of us is perfect-all we ask is that you just try.

Riverworld-over and out.

Love and Peace, Tea
