You are NOT a dumb ass and you definitely do not deserve to get bit. You did the right thing and tried to get the bag away from the dog, how could you have known the dog would react the way it did. You have been going through a hard time lately so its understandable you might feel beat down but you keep fighting and I think thats incredible. It says a lot about the kind of person you are. The kind that won't give up. If I remember correctly you start a new job soon and have other interviews coming up. That all sounds promising and hopeful. Many people would not have the strength to continue after the things you have been through but you keep pressing on. You will be rewarded for your hard work and perseverance, things will get better. Don't give up. Take care.

Praying for you.

Don't feel bad about the incident with the dog. Dogs do that sort of thing sometimes. It's not your fault.

Sorry that this happened to you. I hope you're feeling better, now.

I have had some interviews in the past two weeks. No offers yet. I do have a temp job (only 20 hours a week, but it's at least something). It starts on Monday. I did get help with part of my rent for June through a church.


I am literally down to almost broke. I can't keep doing this. I can't relax. I'm so depressed I can't think straight.

I was told my right knee is bone on bone and my left knee isn't far behind. I am in pain and it is severely limiting what I can do. I am in pain pretty much all of the time.

I know I somehow keep going but it is getting harder and harder. I am exhausted. Mentally and physically. I am just so sad. I am a disappointment to my entire family. My dad won't even call me anymore. He's all about $$$$. and to him I am nothing because I have nothing.

I want to just take a nap and not wake up. I keep asking God to show me the way, to keep giving me the strength to keep going.

I pray for you to be drenched with blessings,in Jesus name, Amen.

You are so beloved, TC. And you are going through so much right now as you have for a very long time. The incident with the dog was NOT your fault! And you are not a "dumba**" - not by any means. You are a smart, sensitive, caring and important person. We can't please everyone - a lesson I'm learning with my own father. But we must take good care of ourselves and THAT includes not insulting ourselves.

Sending love and the biggest of hugs to you. Here they come!!!

It seems things keep happening that prevent a feeling of success sometimes. I think when someone has been spoken to poorly by parents or other family members it's important to not allow that negative voice be the focus. TC, you keep fighting so hard, which to me says a lot about your inner strength! Hold on to that inner strength and don't give up, ever! We are rooting for you. (((Hugs))))

Ty guys!!!!!!! I am so very grateful for all of you!!!!!!
