an extremely bad day today...but my problem...not yours...I didn't want to write bad things that happen to me anymore...just wanted to be positive...but it hurts so much in my soul that I want to read things like, get better, hope your feeling better, be strong, Lyle...that's my real name...is it wrong to want to hear things that make me feel better? pretty sad... God it hurts so much and I don't even know what hurts so much...all I know is that I want to belong somewhere...I don't want be an outsider...my whole life I've been an outsider...alone with this whole world just weighing me down...even the writing is starting to fail me...everything I write sounds just like everything else I've written...started this post over a few times...and if I'm so bloody messed up...well I thankyou for the crying shoulder...just wish it was over...

You're not an outsider here, Lyle (I love your name, btw). I'm not much of a hugger, but I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we're all happy that you found us. We understand, and yes, it WILL get better, Lyle. I am sending you some positive vibes ~~~ and will toast you and the other hurting people at midnight tonight.

TC,
Love,
LMo

Hey (((Lyle)))) if talking out our problems didn't help, then there'd be a lot of counselors out of business! (Not to mention PC ) I think you're kewl, and enjoy chatting with you. Depression tells us all those lies, remember.. keep going.. one foot in front of the other (oops freudian slip I wrote one foot in front ON the other) guess that's how it's going to be for tonight. Maybe better tomorrow!

Hi, Lyle!
If you only knew how much you´re response to my poems means to me!!! You´re worthful and we love you here!
Keep up the good fight!
You seem to be a very sweet person!
Feel free to PM me any time!

Hugs
Nina

I am sure glad you are here with us! Of course you belong. You bring with you beautiful colors on each of our pathway. You know Lyle, one day, between all of us, we will create a wonderful rainbow. But for that, we need each other and all of us at the same time. So as you can see, you belong and we are gald that you are here.

(((((((((((((((Lyle))))))))))))))))

Hey, feel free to post the negative too. It makes it easier to live with the negative thinking if you have someone to share it with. I understand because I like to be able to post the negative too.

i admire your courage. even here where i hope to find the acceptance i can't find anywhere else i still worry i'm being judged, i still have that unbelievable urge to punctuate every admission of what a mess i am with a sorry. i read your post and the replies and i realized its okay, here, okay to say just how bad you feel b/c every one understands and its not "your problem" anymore b/c everyone is here listening. and don't stop writing. i've been writing forever and i hate that feeling that can creep up, that its all been said before. don't give up. give it a week and go back to it and with fresh eyes you'll see just how beautiful it really is.

I can really relate to how you are feeling right now. I've felt like quite the outsider my whole life. Kinda like I'm from another planet or something because I seem so completely different from everyone else I know. It's a lonely place to be.

Hang in there. We're all here for you.
