You are stronger than you think. Smarter than you think. More beautiful than you think. You will get through this. Obstacles are put in front of us for a reason. Do you ever wonder if the obstacle you are facing was put in your path to save you? Crying is okay. It's a way to release emotion. Let it out and when you're all cried out, play Gloria Gainer's "I will survive" and sing at the top of your lungs. Take a bubble bath. Watch something silly that brings back a good feeling inside you. PM me if you'd like to talk. It will get better but it is crud right now. Hugs

I agree with Danceintherain! Very well said.

I also have something positive to share. As of today I've lost 61 lbs in the last 12 months. I'm sad and hurting like hell, but that makes me feel a little brighter. ☺️

@tejema - congrats on the weight loss! I bet you look stunning!

Things I'd never do before: eat a full meal, laugh, talk to people without feeling inferior or fear of rejection, smile, exercise, sleep.
In the last few days I have been eating huge amounts of food, laughing at silly movies while exercising and then talking to people about anything. I was the worst pessimist in the world, and even I thing now that it can get better. Keep your head clear and try to know that this will pass. Without bad you can't have good.

Very good point bobbyu!

These are all so great! Thank you!
