I can't hold on anymore..
Just when you dont think you can hold on any longer *grabs hand*
OK.....So....you are feeling bad right??? People giving you a hard time????
Life throwing a wrench in all thats good???? no need to leave us here....time for a pity party!!!! here are the rules...ive had a few myself in the last week...i got this from my mom. and every time i read it (she wrote it herself, not borrowed from anybody) I laugh. maybe we can make you laugh too?
1. Decide what day you will have your 24 HOUR Pity Party as this requires pre-planning

2. Gather the following: a good book, lots of tissue, all the foods you love ... And if diabetic that fit into the plan

3. Call or email all friends and TELL THEM you will not be available by phone or email on ____ day.

4. You must be totally pitiful for this to work and you MUST keep it up for the allowable 24 HOURS.

5. start to cry or scream or wail.

6. Yell, "Why me?" at least 20 times if you need help to get you going.

7. Get naked and look in the mirror. Keep looking until you cry or scream or wail. A poor self-estimeem is also important to a good Pity Party and we don't want to have a BAD one, right?

8.Repeat number 6 as needed.

9. Get back in bed. I have found this to be the best place to feel pitiful. This was determined early in my own Pity Party experience, so just do it and quit *****ing! Once in bed, repeat #6 or try to bring the image of your (ok so mine is really bad)naked body to the forefront. You must begin to cry, though screaming IS acceptable, as is wailing.

10. Begin to read your book. Every time someone is happy, stop and repeat #6. Every time someone is not happy, stop and grab some tissue and have a good cry because you can sympathize ... totally. Feel free to yell at this point because Life is Unfair!

11. Do whatever you want. Eat! Watch tv! insert Cry scream or wail

12. continue to repeat all from 1 to 11......after all. we need the drama right?

If you wake up and it hasn't been 24 hours yet, you may repeat any of the above until time's UP. If you wake up and it's been 24 hours since the start of your Pity Party, it's OVER and it's time to face Life again.

THIS IS A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT!

You can do this......depression stinks!!!! fight back!!! have a party!!! Ok I know it does not seem right. but you know what??? try standing in front of a mirror screaming why me....20 times....tell me you dont laugh.

I laughed my fool head off.

I hope it works.
