Font Size

 

 

I found a new trick.  I edited my profile, made my font bigger to make it easier to read. 

Some of you may want to try that.  I don't know that you all can read it bigger, maybe it

is just my computer that makes it bigger for me to read.  I also double spaced and

made my font bold this to make it easier for you all to read.  Does it help?

depression isnt obvious

Hi,

a girl I know, I would like to say friend, but actually we werent all that close, her son came to my house everyday to play with my son, and he always wanted to stay overnight and not go home. his home life wasn't very happy. his mother had a drug problem and a husband in prison, when I got to know her because of her son, she always needed something, money, me to watch her son, food, toilet paper. she didn't work, she lived on welfare $300 a month and food stamps, i tried helping her by offering work to get money she never could get it together to go do the work, so i backed off but i continued to let her son stay at my house all the time cuz i felt sorry for him, i treated him like one of my own kids. im a single mom with 4 kids no welfare no child support and i barely get by. so trying to help his mom out was hard, anyways last weekend his mom hung herself...her son luke found her and from what i can find out his real dad picked him up and took him to another town where the dad lives. there has been nothing in the newspaper, nothing about her dying i just heard it from people in our neighborhood. i can't get over feeling like i should of tried more to help her. it is just that she wouldn't help herself when given the opportunity to work to make money so i backed off. now i feel like i should of tried harder for lukes sake. i cant sleep at night, i keep seeing her hanging from a rope dying in my head how do i deal with this guilt?

Depression

I know how it is to "try" and get out and exercise. But when the depression reaches it's ultimate high....that just doesn't work. I force myself to do things. I have been suicidal in the past....well....many times....several times....well never mind what I was going to say....just say....I was medically dead. Heck, some reason God keeps saying no. I just want to stop crying. I too have a difficult time telling my husband just how horrible I feel, not because he wouldn't understand, but because I don't want him to be afraid to go to work and leave me alone.

You said that you do not have any support groups in your "crappy town" you live in....so if I can be of support....YES!!! I would and will always do my best to help if I can. I do know the pain! Remember, I am here if you would like to start a support group.

Formally Nekocats....now.....Nekocats2 (new site change)

Who do I look for? Wish you the best...I don't mean to sound cheesy...but I do mean that! Lonliness is a horrible place to be. I write to you throughout my tears so forgive my typos.

I posted the message about the girl who hung herself.....please please listen to me, do what ever it takes to get help, support. i only wish i could of helped this young woman that hung herself (she lived on my street and her son was a friend of my sons) when I look back now I wished I would of tried hareder to help her. If you need someone to talk to e-mail me I don't know what I have to offer you, but I can listen and  I can care.

Midwest Center Program

Hey everybody, I just wanted to let you all know of a program called Attacking Anxiety and Depression. Some of you may have heard of it, but for those that don't I have been doing it and it has been working for me. The program is close to $500.00, but all of you know that there isn't anything you wouldn't do to just get rid of it, besides, yhou could probably get sponsors to help you get it, like a pastor, or a Doctor. Anyways, it's a 15 week program, and I felt better my forst two weeks. You might check into it, It helps to relate with others that have the same problems.....Here is the link http://www.stresscenter.com  You all have a great day!!! God BlessYOU!!!
