" hey,im sorry to hear you are having a hard time today. i left ya a message on your journal entry. i hope you will hang on and do all you can to try and offset these thoughts. ive been there too, im on that edge alot, infact. we are all capable of poor judgement, and decisions in the past, i have a lengthy book of them. its hard not to go back and visit them, when not where you want to be in life, when things are not good in the present. so dont be so hard on yourself. you cant put it into reverse and go backwards, just the forward gear is there for us.

i dont know whether you have tried meds, therapy or alternative treatments, such as meditation, acupuncture, or eastern medicine, but i would encourage you to keep researching these things. thats what i have been doing. its very frustrating but necessary to keep trying to fight the good fight. you have kids that love you, need you in life. look to them as your inspiration to keep doing the best you can do each day. best wishes!

" Look for the signs of God's presence. 'God will help [you] at break of day.' (Psalm 46:5 NIV) Daybreak, a symbol of new beginnings, gives you confidence that beyond this time of trouble and testing, a new day is at hand. 'Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning.' (Lamentations 3:23 NLT) "

" You are living in Gods country. NC is one of the most beautiful states. You can get inspiration from God Himself right where you are, if you look for it. Remember the words of Christ, "Seek and ye shall find, knock and the door will be opened for you." God can and will give you the strength to make it through another day, just ask. "
