It's funny. I really want to say what's going on in my miserable little life but I can't muster the words. Not good at asking or accepting help. Feel at a huge loss here.

Can't think of a good reason to keep on breathing...

Okie

When it's hard to find the breath to speak, push yourself dear one......put it out there either on the forums or to someone you trust in a pm. Please don't shut down, and don't shut anyone out.

You are in my prayers hon.......reach out your hand as far as you can and I'll reach the rest of the way.

Hold on tight okie.....you have so many here who love you and want to be there for you.

Can't get any lower....

Take a deep breath, take several. I'm sorry that you're hurting so much right now - but you don't have to keep it all to yourself. Post here, it's what PC's for.

Don't worry about asking for or accepting help, how about companionship in your difficulties. We're all here, rowing the same sort of boat, the PC flotilla.

I hear ya! But you know it would sure help if you just start typing. Spill it out in the forum. We have members that really care and are willing to listen or maybe beable to help you solve a problem. It is even more frustrating feeling low if you cant vent!

Hey Okie, I am sorry you are struggling right now...hang in there. I don't know what is going on, so I can't offer much advice, but please know that I care.

unsure of any words that would be of help or comfort at moment. w/ that said here's this post anyway Can't get any lower....

it is much harder to ask for help (or even post about how hard it is) than it is to go it alone.

you're not alone okie.

with kindness,
__zh

Thank you all very much. You've made me feel a bit better 'bout myself.

Ok, warning, this is gonna be all about me. Content may be totally boring to others.

Let me recall my life:
2 alcoholic parents
Raising siblings
Taking care of parents
Death of grandma, aunt and mama all in one year
4 hospitalizations
physical and sexual violence
sexual violence by pdoc
was told by pdoc he gave the fatal Final Exit suicide injection to his mother
addiction
poverty
divorce
depression/anxiety/PTSD
clean x 5 years
relapse
education, education and more education
nurse (ER and psych)
safety engineer (wonder why I went in to safety?!)
in love with man going thru divorce and I work with him
have lost all the weight I need to lose and now men are asking me out right and left and I don't know how to deal
with it (and why didn't they ask me out when I was overweight?)
100 years of Catholic guilt
Christmas is my favorite time of year and hardly feel like putting up a tree
want to be supportive here but don't have it to give right now, but I think of all of you each day

If you got this far, thanks so much for letting me share, and reading about it.
Love to all,
Okie

Okie, you are being supportive by writing and sharing. I am not doing so good right now and reading your post helped me. I like the idea of laying things out like that--I am going to try it.

Also, it seems like you have overcome a lot in your life...

thanks for posting.

Dear Okie,

I was just reading you list of everything you have gone through reminds me of a quote that I heard a long time ago. It states that, "What does not kill me, will only make me stronger". To my way of thinking, you are still here, and that is a testament to not only your strength, but also to your endurance. Stay Strong and don't ever give up. You have come too far to turn back now!

Cordially,

David (NewDawnFades)

Best,

OKie....hunny...
I am here for you too!
I also don't feel like putting up any Christmas decorations, but that's okay with me. I'm not having Christmas blues, or anything like that, but it's just me, my reclusive self, and I hate taking the stuff down more than putting it up!
Love,
Patty
