Ok, so its been a rough couple of months, even rougher due to not working, BUT i am happy to report that thanks to my mothers never ending support, sitting on the phone with me, and journaling, and of course YOU guys here, I am 5 days away from two months.

Im happy. the thoughts are still there, but im successfull so far.

I hope you all have a good day.
Colleen

colleen,
nah - i don't rock. i'm on day one again. but more importantly, i'm watching out for the BIG waves than the lttile ones.
YOU ROCK. you. It's all you!

The national news actually said that today (must be today, i guess...maybe it is next monday?) is what psyds call suicide monday because this is the MOST chosen day to do that i guess. So extra super hugs and support to everyone in here - and stay vocal. we can't support if we can't hear ya.
(((((((((((((((((((room))))))))))))))))))))))

YOU are so much stronger than you think, Kiya, and I'm sending lots of warm and gentle and non-threatening HUGS your way tonight!

Today is Day One ... please concentrate on <u>that</u> and not on any days in the Past. Honey, none of us can change the PAST! But we <u>can</u> change the FUTURE when we <u>learn</u> from the Past. LIFE is a marathon, Kiya, not a sprint! All you can do is try to put one foot in front of the other, try one minute at a time, and keep trying to move forward!

You can do it! You've already started ... today really is the first day of the rest of your Life. When you need help, show your STRENGTH. Come here ... your friends will help you! And, IMHO, so will the Big Guy. All YOU have to do is ask and TRY ... nobody can ever ask more of you, Honey. Just TRY!

GoodMama
