I can't tolerate meds....
I've been severely burnt by doctors and therapists..
I don't want to bore myself or others by giving details (again)
I'm not even much "use" here - I suppose I could lie (by omission) and talk about my "positive" experiences with meds and therapy although these are few...
I don't even seem to have the knack of posting (and being honest yet "endearing" ) or talking to people irl (not surprising really since I'm a bear ..)

I'd love to say I'm done

There does come a point (at least this has been my experience) where it has all been said, sufficient numbers of times, that there just seems no point in going over it again. This is part of the reason I seldom post Threads of my own here on PC... & when I do... they're not of a personal nature. What's the point of going into it all... again? Would anyone even really understand? No...

I'm also no longer on psych med's (or any other med's either for that matter.) I can tolerate them. But they don't do any good. And I can't afford them. I also don't see a therapist. I've tried a few over the years. But it was all beyond pointless. So at this point, I've simply resorted to "praying" for the end to arrive as soon as possible. (I put praying in quotation marks... because I don't really believe in god.) On the other hand, I am married & my wife has no one else. So I just keep doing what has to be done so she's not left alone. As I have written quite a few times, here on PC, many years ago my father used to say: "You're not required to like it. You're just required to do it." I take that as my mantra...

P.S. The Skeezyks would be very sad if you were done, Fuzzy...

There has to be a point to all this misery. What it is.... Well that's a puzzle in and of its self. How can fuzzy help others? You have helped me by just showing me that I'm not alone. There are lots of others out there that feel like me! You have meaning fuzzy. You are so real here on PC and it helps to know that we are all in this together. Keep on being you! Things have to get better.

Thanks everyone

Sometimes I wonder if I really am a pos.

Papa Bear knows me better than anyone does, we've been married for a long time. He can see my good qualities, we laugh together, and he disagrees with the opinions of all the abusers..

Most "normal" people just don't get me though.. I don't think they ever will

I find your posts helpful fuzzy. We may not know each other IRL, but I feel like a lot of folks on this forum are friends I've known for years.

Maybe I'm not a "nice" person. I'm not always "warm and fuzzy"

Is it even worth it ...

I try to be "honest" (without being brutal)

And having had parents (whole family in fact ) like mine that isn't easy..

I did have 2 half siblings...(I was "always alone" ).. they abandoned me.

I guess I'm so easy to abandon, not care about, forget

Hi Fuzzy

Not much use here?!?!?!?!?! !!!!!
I'd say that was a million miles from the truth!!!!
When you're able to share those struggles/what you're going through, it can absolutely make people feel less alone, it can also encourage some of them to share what they are going through, some of them to care when they've been finding it hard to care about much, some of them the strength to reach out for help...........
So, I for one, Fuzzy thank you for your honesty on here, it matters, and you matter!!!
Keep on talking, keep on reaching

Alison
