I just got a big perspective adjustment today.

sometimes I feel like my life is so overwhelmed, when really my problems could be a lot worse...

today I was looking for someone on DS and I typed 3 letters and a few hundred people came up in the results.
I started just browsing thru the members and WOW, I was overcome with how much suffering there is, how many huge problems our friends have and it just felt so overwhelming.

so many people here are carrying huge burdens, baggage, personal ghosts, suffering, however you label it, it is HEAVY to carry.

I just wanted to say, that if you are one who is suffering today, my heart goes out to you.

I did a similar thing by opening up "people" and then "members in need."
I go there once a day and pray for everyone. I try to send a few random hugs as well. I have made a few friends that I now keep in touch with. ;-)

I roam around occasionally and am amazed at the pain and burdens people carry, often with great courage - it does help put my own problems in perspective - so often, we simply dont know, even with the closest friends, people share much more in DS than with people they see every day....hugs to you...xoxoxox....Cathrynn X

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
