    • I’m With You

      From SUICIDALNOMORE November 1

      Hey,

      Well it's been a month since my last hug to you. Just checking in to see if you're ok? If you need a friend I'm still here for you.

      Hugs,

      Chris

    • I’m With You

      From SUICIDALNOMORE October 1

      Hey,

      i'm feeling a bit tired myself. It's been a long day. I read on your profile that you take Effexor. That's the same med my wife takes. She went through a really rough time back in 2004. Effexor did the trick and she's been great ever since. i finally beat the Black Dog after 17 long years. I've been depression free for about 7 months now. I was off from work for 9 months and have been back for 4. I hope you feel better soon. Take care and God Bless you.

      Love and Hugs,

      Chris

      I am so excited to see your face. It'd be even cooler in real life. Let's get healthy (and I'll get cash) and make that happen.

      so you have to take humria a lot less right? I take enbrel twice a week and I run out of spots! Do you ever get infections from the biologics? Other than all this med talk, how is life treating you?
