Mickey,

So sorry to see that you feel this way about yourself. When I was your age, I felt pretty much the same. I wish I had a magic pill to give you to help you feel better, but that is the seduction of depression. Depression hits you when you are on your knees and crying.

Here is what I do know about you. You have a golden heart that is full of compassion. To me, that is worth more than 10,000 bars of gold. This compassion you have will manifest itself in your life and give you happiness down the road. Your compassionate notes and hugs do not go unnoticed. Listen to your heart and do not beat yourself. Be kind to yourself. Many people on here have witnessed your compassion and help, for that you should be thankful. You are kind to people you may never have met, to met that is worth so much.

Lastly, your notes on my posts have helped me immensely and don't beat yourself up! You are a lighthouse in many people's world on this site, that I can guarantee you.
