i KNOW and it helps just to know YOU know...

((((((((((((((((((Roz))))))))))))))))))))))))))

yeah most of the time i feel worthless, regardless of what others say ..... when it's been drilled in for so long that's what ya believe ....... with you sweetie, Jin xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

((((((Kerry)))))))

sorry to know you feel that way too,,,, ... i with you also hun.

Roz, I know it's hard to believe but it can get better. In Christmas 2006 I was in the hospital due to drinking too much. I spent most of 2007 in alcohol treatment, then went into a psych hospital for 7 weeks followed by 8 weeks of intensive outpatient care, and then for the rest of the year didn't have much energy to do much.

Today I can honestly say I'm not depressed, and I'm sober. I'm back working full time, although in a much lower stress job than I had previously. And I'm starting to go out and be more social and do stuff that makes me happy. I leave next Sun. for a trip to Chicago to purchase a concert grande pedal harp, which is my reward to myself for getting better.

It hasn't be easy. But everything has been worth it to get where I'm at today. And it's been a lot of slow hard work.

But it is possible for depression to be beaten.

Hang in there.

Hi {{{Roz}}},
I know what you are talking about. I've felt that way all my life. Are you getting help? I'm sure you must be working hard at feeling better. Each time you do feel a little better, let us know so we can be happy with you--give you a good pat on the back 'cuz it is hard work.
I just started getting help with a P for MajDep and I'm just starting to feel a few days of happy-near-normal once in awhile. I'm told that eventually, the waves of darkness will grow shorter and the waves of happy-normal will grow longer. I'm working hard to help it happen and each time a good wave comes, I feel a bit better about myself and my capabilities because my P can't make it happen without me working at it. I know you will get better. HUGS, JourneyUpward

I agree with Jinny

Thinking of you sweetie,

Journey, that was a great post!

Hey Roz, I know those feelings but I don't let them attack me anymore.

I was raised like Jenn, where it's instilled in you that your not worth love, let alone a break.

But it isn't true.

One day you will really really get that - it isn't true!

Simply a lie. An old tape.

What is worthless is the tape that runs saying you are less than anything or not deserving of happiness.

You are!!!!

So, Dear Person, please know you deserve to embrace every happiness and if you do anything today, pick one thing and embrace it - with love, joy or satisfaction ... or something else positive... whatever comes to your mind.

I'm going to get flowers and fill my house with them.

You know why? I'm worth it. People, family , friends see that too - it's contagious!

Love and Peace Dear Roz,
Night

(and Kerry and Fuzzy and Upwards - you sure are!)

you understand exactly...that old tape still running....

i know it's a false tape but it's hard getting it to stop...

Thank You for replying and hitting the nail on the head for me...you've helped put it into perspective for me.

Enjoy your flowers and don't forget to take a few minutes every now and then to stop what you're doing and smell the scent of them and view the beauty k...coz you're right...you ARE worth it !!!

much peace and love to you
