... to everyone who took the time to reply to my "I need to be honest" post.
It's hard to explain. But I do care about you guys. I really really do.
It means so much to me that a certain few of you cared enough to argue with me til I finally caved and admitted you were right. I'm not a horrible person.
Smeagol - thank you for the hugs. and thank you for calling me out.
Friend21230 - I will never forget that you changed my life tonight. You understand things about me that I never thought anyone would ever understand.
HollyHolly - thank you for talking me through the worst part of tonight. I was desperate for help and you were there when I needed it.
I fell hard and fast today. I don't know why. Nothing triggered it. I've just been bottling up so much lately.. I finally snapped I guess.
Around end of December and throughout most of January I was the happiest I can honestly ever recall being. I wanted so badly to hold onto that, that when I started slipping I refused to recognize it, and in so doing, refused to deal with it.
There are some things I really need to work on. HollyHolly helped me figure out what those things were. And I promise I am going to try my best. But I think I am going to need your help, guys. I don't think I can do this on my own. And Friend21230 taught me that that's ok. I don't have to be able to do it on my own - I just have to do the best I can.

Although Smeagol and HollyHolly are both really awesome, too! Did I mention how much Smeagol helped me today, even though he himself wasn't feeling great? That is a picture of a wonderful person.
much love, Niki
