I am trying

Whether or not you believe me I am trying, I am posting on other board and really talking about my issues. Yes, I'm not doing exactly what you want me to but does that mean I'm not trying? No. And just because I post a lot it doesn't mean I'm not trying either.
I am trying and the only person who really needs to believe that is me.

" Of course you are trying sweetheart. You are on a computer, reading posts, posting about your issues, etc.

The only little bit of advice I will offer you is in addition to putting up posts & reading other posts, is to maybe reply in other posts with a hug or a kind word of support.

When you help others, it helps you! You don't have to write some big reply filled with advice, just a hug will do.

Let me share this with you TP:

When I was in the black hole of depression, I did not care about anything or anyone. All I wanted to do is hide under the covers & for the WORST pain I have ever felt in my life to go away.

I could not eat or properly take care of my children; husband did. Logging onto a computer was completely out of the question. "
