Hey everyone

I was feeling very empty and blue over the past few weeks. I was going in a downward spiral of bipolar depression, craving alcohol, getting involved with shady characters and not taking care of myself.

In this period of self loathing, self doubt and zero feeling of self worth I realized there is SO much that I have that I should be thankful for. I wondered why God hasn't spoken to me or shown me any love, but the thing is if God lives within you (which I believe) and I don't love myself, how am I supposed to feel love? Its quite contradicting.

I guess the point I am making is, I love you. It's hard for me to say it to myself, but I love me too. I love the people on this site that work so hard at trying to manage what they are feeling and for the struggles you are all facing.

I love you all, even though you may not love yourself. ((HUGS))
