I wish I had friends like you all. I'm not very good at this. I am calling my dr tomorrow for her to set up my going into the hospital to get better. It's the hardest thing I have ever had to do. But I know I have to do it for me.
Maybe then I will know what to say instead of always being sad and unable to make a single coherant thought in this screwed up head of mine.

There is nothing wrong with going to get the help you need, where ever you have to go. Best wishes to you, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

You've written very eloquently here.

All the best in your journey. Asking for, and being willing to receive, help is a sign of strength and a wonderful gift to give to yourself.

Take things one day at a time and good luck.

You do have friends like all of us, you just have to log on to DS and here we are! That's a really tough decision to make; good for you! Feel better soon and please come back and update us posted on how you're doing.

I know the feeling -- and you are very courageous to go to the hospital for hellp....you are much more likely to get the help you need that way, instead of waiting until you are completely broken down like a lot of people do.

You are making a very good decision on your part!

    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...
