Behind the screen names and typed letters we see, there are real people. Same issues and struggles, same emotions. Some are strange and of ill nature, but many more are of good heart and friendship. None are automatic. Many best to you and your weekend as well.

You said it well Christopher! Puglet, so glad your life is better because of DS. It helps no matter where we get support and kind words. I wish you a great weekend also. Love and hugs to you too!

Many days, I wake up feeling lost, but I find a lot of comfort when I visit DS. I want to thank everyone here, and hope you all have a wonderful weekend :-)

Group hugggggggggg! As long as that pug doggy doesn't slime me :)

Annette, that made me smile, thank you :-)

DS is my lifeline. I am all alone, living in my car with no one helping me.
I come to the library everyday and check DS. I get support and understanding
and feel like someone cares. It helps alot.

I'm so glad you are able to find some comfort here, Heretic. We do care very much, and I think of and pray for you often.

I want to thank DS for giving hope and bringing smiles into a sad day. without the support I have found on here I would have probably carried out my plan to leave life. but now word of advice and kindness that I couldn't find in my own life and due to people I may never met in real life I have hope to wake up each day and to continue fighting through the darkness. Hope you all have a great weekend. :)

DS changed my world lots with all you kind peoples. Hugs to pugs!

I haven't been around here for very long, but I have to echo everybody else's words and sentiments. Have a great weekend, too! (((HUGS)))

Dachshund I'm reminded of last fall when I event thru a bad time. So I went back into therapy -- after decades away.

My therapist helped me develop a routine for right after waking up: stagger to stove in the kitchen and water heating... then very soon spooning out hot chocolate mix. .....Well pretty soon I've gotten blood sugar coming up; and my tummy is getting warmed.
/ Good way to start the day...if I'm falling apart and not wanting to face it.

I just had to say this. My therapist will have my everlasting thanks for that little lesson.

b good 2 yourself, . :) . . . C.

What a good therapist you had Calebb. That is a good way to start the day. :)) If you aren't watching your diet. lol

This place is great for coping with much more than loneliness. I like it and the people here are so kind.

You are a great person and a great friend Pug. Thank you for letting people here on DS know that they are appreciated. Hugs Gramybear
