i'll make a deal with you. i'll remember that i matter if you remember that YOU matter. i'll remember that people here care for me and are rooting for me if you remember that people here care for YOU and are rooting for YOU.

do we have a deal?

Thank You for caring.

Thanks ((((Roz)))). I am going on a walk today and it is really nice outside...wanna come along? We can walk wherever you want. I like to go through the forest and smell the trees and look at all the squirrels and listen to all the birds. We could go to the beach (one of my favorite places) and smell the ocean and watch dolphins jump out of the water. It's up to you!

I hope today is better for you!! Sending you lots of love and hugs today!

you're a gem...let's go for a walk in the woods. being country born and living inner city i miss nature. then again...i lived for a time on the coast and miss seeing seals. LOL i can't make my mind up. shall we toss a coin?

today is better, i'm re-learning how to sleep. you don't realize how important sleep is til you can't get any.

lots of love and hugs for you my special friend.

You know, we can walk thru the woods and wind up at the beach!!! That would be lovely, no?! I used to watch the HUGE sealions when I lived near San Francisco, California. They would lay on these docks and they were SO loud. They would have fights and push each other off! LOL I would sit there for a long time just watching them interact.

I am really glad that today is better! I have been getting more sleep myself thanks to meds. If I don't have the meds I don't sleep well at all. Lots of tossing and turning and waking up to EVERY noise, even the clock ticking!

Oh we just had very lazy seals. They would sit and bask on the sandbanks at the mouth of the river...til the oil rigs got built then the seals stopped coming for a while. But they soon came back.

Glad you're managing to get some sleep with your meds, it makes a huge difference as i'm slowly finding out.

Roz I only just saw this post .... hope you are feeling better, gosh you would certainly be missed if you left here, you are a joy and a ray of sunshine. To me you brighten up the screen just with your name, new and old ..... don't listen to all those past lies ... because that's what they were ....write them down on a piece of paper,everything he said, then rip it into a thousand pieces and burn it or flush it away ..... you are a wonderful person, believe it! love,Kerry/Jinny xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

thank you for your reply, you're too kind! silly as it sounds i've thought before to write it all down but i never thought to burn it or anything afterwards. sounds like a good way to purge it all to me...if that's the right english word.

and yes i am starting to feel better thank you.

((((RozG))))

I hope you are continuing to feel better with each day that passes. I know how hard it is when depression hits and those old tapes start rolling again and you cannot seem to stop them. I heard the same words you spoke of and at times I still hear them. They seem to get louder at times than at others.

I used to think everyone heard the voices I heard, that everyone's family was like mine and everyone was better than me. I am still learning everyday to try to put those feelings aside. To remember that depression lies to me and that I have to fight to not let it get to me. Sometimes, like right now, I feel I am being somewhat crushed.

But just reading here is an uplifting feeling and I thank you for posting what you did. I am so glad you are feeling better and I hope with each day that passes, you'll feel even better. Always know you have a place here and we all care about you very much and uplift you in support.

RozG -

Hope today is going to be a better day for you and all of the friends you have made here at PC.

I look forward to reading your posts.

I especially loved the response you received about reading your replies here instead of listening to the toxic crap that plays in our heads.

(thanks who wrote that - I really needed that also)

Peace,
