You can only do it for so many years before it gets repetitive. My girlfriend is having knee replacement surgery on the 22nd, so I feel pressure to be on top of my game. Not sure that's going to happen, though. I feel stupid complaining since I know what folks like Jennifer, Aurelius, Beth, Soupe, Boots & others are going through. @ Nammu, I hope you get some sleep soon, too.
I have fleeting thoughts of sui, but they're just thoughts. My sister was diagnosed with cancer in February, so I know what worry/tragedy can do to a family. I don't really want to be here, but I wouldn't put those I love through my BS. |
Whoa, hey...your state of mind is every bit as valid as the rest of us. I hear you on the reality of therapy. A hard truth, but realistic, in a certain way. That said - it can be surprising once we sit down in a session, how much we've been holding in. When's your appointment?
btw, I know everyone is different - but for me, Vraylar was like drinking water. I didn't feel a thing from it.
There's a lot of pressure on you right now, buddha. Your gf's surgery - and your sister...I've been there a few times; having a family member with cancer is rough, rough. Extremely stressful, in my experience.
Please keep posting here. You are such a valuable part of our group, and I know we all care very much about you.
As for me - hey, how can I off myself when there's even a slim chance that the Giants may end up in the play-offs? 
I'm sending you love, my friend
