thanks again for all the hugs that you all have sent. i feel so much love from you guys that i don't feel here alone. do you ever wish that your emotional pain would turn to physical pain? i guess it's the nurse in me. i know that i can fix the physical hurt.

if you spiral down enough, it does become physical.

Sorry you're feeling so bad right now.

i think that's why so many of us cut. for a short time it takes your mind off of the desperation inside. you just let it bleed some of the pain away.

Not all physical pain can be alleviated either.
No point in assuming that we have it worse.
Unfortunately many, more than we'd like to know suffer both.My father in law was bipolar and suffered for years in physical pain from a relentless cancer that wasted him.
I'm so sorry you're suffering, but the best we can do is muddle through.
I feel a little leery posting this as I do not intend to criticize or diminish the pain you're in, because i suffer it and can relate. We can't know what those who suffer physical pain endure unless we're up against it.Having said that,I realize you're venting, but I also know you're depressed.And I hope I wasn't insensitive or offensive. Please feel better. I know it will pass. much love!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
