Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant or insecure, always remember to whom you belong.

think of what you do like about yourself. smile? your kids and I am good one to talk. but this is some thing that took me many yrs to do. if just one thing I think on that as much as I can. some times it is a job I did..or helped someone even if long time ago. or in line at store and I smiled and someone smiled back. hold on to that. it helps believe me it does. look at how cute your boys are..pictures. baby pics. you are here for a reason. and I know some days go by and seems why???? have had a lot of them...but like gramybear said also. remember we are here for a reason and He wants us here. just hard for us to see that some days...hugs to you my friend.

1) Love yourself no matter what!

2) Ask for help if no one is around come here DS is a great source of help!!!!

3) Ask your pdoc and tdoc if there are any Dialectical Behavioral Groups in your area? *Really helps with impulse control

Big hugs! You are not unloved.

I can't recommend CBT or DBT as therapy. It'll change you, it'll change your life. It makes you a stronger person able to deal with problems.

I'm glad you've sought help Angie... I hope that therapy will help you... It takes a lot of time and effort

You have a family to love and that is a huge blessing... xo

you are loved Angie and we care about you on here so when you're down always come to us. Hugs and prayers and more hugs!

Oops, I meant to say I CAN recommend DBT and CBT. It's life changing.
I hope you're having a calm peaceful day today.

Your feeling blue is not something you choose to do Angie. So try not to blame yourself for it. Your medical team and your job at the moment is to get the balance of treatments right so you are helped to cope.

I hope that happens soon.

Counseling has really saved me. I used to cut and my depression still gets me sometimes. But, you can get through this and I hope you know you are not unloved. Sending hugs and prayers your way!!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
