Struggling with feeling useless on DS Mood
Wednesday, July 15, 2009 | A General Update story

I was back, then gone, then back, then gone... the problem is, when I am on this emotional roller coaster, I feel useless here, and I am more about being useful than about getting support.  Which is really not a productive way to live.  I know that I have to be able to ask for and accept support if I want to give it... it has to work both ways.

 

So I'm gonna try to just hang out here a bit, read, respond to posts when I feel I can...

 

I AM uplifted by the support you all are sending while I'm not around so much.  Thank you all.

    P.S. it really is an emotional roller coaster... I just found out a colleague was "laid off" today (my old employer)... they have NEVER laid anyone off in the entire history of the business, and she doesn't know it but part of what they yelled at me about involved something she did... she doesn't need to know it either. Being laid off will be easier to move on from... but this sent me into emotional overdrive once again....

    I think it is more about the quality of what you do when you can be here, and from what I have seen, you are honest, but never in a rude way (well, except maybe to telemarketers..lol) and you seem genuinely interested in keeping the depression boards running smoothly. We cannot ask for more than that! Hugs xx

    I think you have hit the nail on the head so to speak , it is so much easier at times to help others than it is to ask for help ourselves. I hope that you are able to ask people for that extra lift when you need it. I'm sure all your friends - me included- will try and help if we can - just ask x
