good point! Hi! How are you doing today? Hope you're having a good day! My day is going pretty well. the sun is shining , and I'm appreciating it. Feeling more hopeful today and wishing the best for everyone.

Surround yourself with friends that like you in good time and in bad. If they only want to hear when you are hurting only that is not a friend. Glad you here. Hope you can find good friends.

Hello. I am new here. I understand what you are feeling. I check this site many times during the day to see what is new. I hope that you have a good day and that you are doing well.

I'm the same way. I'm on here because i worry my friends and family will get tired of me being "down". I check in a few times a day hoping someone says something that gets me thinking.

Thanks all for responding to my misspelled post. lol....I just reread my original post and it is full of type o'ssss. Minidogs2. I am feeling a little better today..I really need a change up on some of my meds. I don't have a very good primary care PAC. She see's to my emotional health but she really has no clue. Being in the country makes it difficult to find good care and I get too frustrated and tired of searching. Good idea HeartDX. I will try to do as you adviced. Movingon2016. I never realized that you were counting on your DS friends......Now that I know I will definitely stay more in touch with you too. Tracy, welcome to DS. This really is an awesome site. Since their new and unimproved version of the site came out, it has been very difficult to look at your posts and some other stuff here. I have written to DS and they say "Please be patient while we work out the kinks of our new web page. Yeah right, I'll believe that when Santa Claus comes to dinner next week. lol They never should have changed it...it was great until they did that.
Everyone please feel free to message me any time. You may think it is boring etc. but I am home bound pretty much, sick, and needing company. Your emails really do help. Love you all. Take Care.

Sorry you are home bound. Are you emotionally stuck where you feel you need a therapist? With serious depression, therapy and medication is often best. You can read on a site like webmd.com about medications for depression and anxiety and also find self-assessments on the internet. Just for info to understand better and talk with your PAC or a doctor or therapist. Have a good day!

I have felt the same way .......but than I did make some good friends in here ......some mesage me ...and some I talk to only in one of my groups .......I like the circle ........I found that when they took away the chat line they just about distroied this group .....that was somthing vital ...to ..so maney people in here especualy when you were so bad you couldent sleep and you could go on there and there would be someone on there in the same shape as you and you could help each other through the night ...............................you can mesage me any time .....I always answer my mesages ......and hugs ......I read JURNALS ...of those who remind me to do so ......I have short turm memory problems ............but through the mesages .....I can get to know a person ......and make a friend .......I will be here for you ......but I will not rember this conversation unless you mesage me ..and remind me it takes time for things to get into my long turm memory .........but that doesent mean I can't be a good friend .......I hope you find just what you need .......I will be here .......you take very good care of your self ......I will keep you in my prayers ...God bless

I am sorry that you're feeling so alone. I had made new friends and journaled and hugged, et cetera, on the "old" ds site. Then, I had to start all over again because ds screwed up. So, I too am trying to join support groups. I've actually connected with a few of my old friends AND I made new friends, also. Keep posting, reading and talking and speaking-out; you may be surprised. Since many of us have similar issues, it's not always easy to keep reading a lot each day.
Please don't give up too soon? Good luck. Take care.

Ty Iwontbackdown1. I haven't given up yet. Trying to navigate this new and unimproved web site is a challenge.
