LIZ

Quote From: lonalea200

But you have to be given it in the first place and I was not. I was born stupid, ugly and not wanted. And have been this way all my life.  I am sorry if I don't want to live. I mean nothing to nobody. Not one person has benifitted from me being alive. Not even my pleasure. I am full of disgust at myself.  I am garbage.  I am sorry for going on and on. I am making the point that I understand what people have been telling me all these years. And what I have experienced all these years. I am giving up. I am sick of it. Why should I live in this? I am worthless. I would rather not live than live and be tormented all my life.

I think most of us here can relate on some level to what you are feeling. I believe that is why we are all here. We as a whole here have (I'm going to say as a safe assumption) have experienced everything possible as a whole group. You will always find someone here that can relate to at least one of your circumstances. There's sexual abuse victims, cutters, drug addicits, divorcees, neglected, verbally/ physically abused, institutionalized, you name it we got. Even if it's not a good thing to have. Someone can talk to you and at least lend a caring ear. You have to give us a chance if you are looking for a chance. There's many loving empathetic people here for you.

 But the point I am making is that I am tired of listening to people say they care, because they don't. If I walked away at this moment, none of you would give a damn.  Not one person would be seriously upset.  No one would break down the door wondering what happened to Liz. It is just a fact of life. Reality people.  What hurts the most is the people who say they are your friends and they prove this over and over again.  And they're the ones who are supposed to care, and so is your family. But the reality is no one does.   If I dropped off the face of the earth, no one would care. it is as simple as that.

Hey Sea

Quote From: yesyoucan

Tigger sends his cyber hugs to your kitty cat Scarfy... Tigger used to perch on sofa top in picture window in den so we think either he is part cat or was around cats before we adopted him. Tigger was found stray near death and nursed back to health then adopted and returned twice before we adopted him. Tigger has pointed radar ears like kittens and cats that he twists around. Small pointed eared dogs, like ggma's American Eskimo and mini Tigger's (Shelties), are the perfect dogs for kitty cat lovers. :-)
Hi Sea :)
How are you doing today? Hope you had a blessed day.
ooh...I like Shelties. They are a good breed. Good temperment. :D
Scarfy sends his love too ;)
I'm still sick (lucky I had today off) and Scarf's been babysitting me. He's been in my room and keeping an eye on me the whole time. Very sweet. He loves his mommy :P
Okay...Well... I guess thats it.
Talk to you soon

Hey Neko

Quote From: nekocats2

Great to hear from you also.  I hope you feel better. 

  

I too was awake around 2am and didn't relly get back to sleep.  My back was hurting way too much.  I have been doing laundry today and trying to get things done. 

  

I hope you get the needed rest tonight. 

  

Neko/Vickie 

Hey Neko,
How was your day today?
No...no sleep for me. I was awake at 3am and tossed and turned and fever induced nightmares all night. Until 8:30am when I decided to just give up and get up.
Lucky I had today off. Another day to recouperated. Hopefully tomorrow I'm back to normal.
Hope your back is feeling better :) Prayers for a rapid healing :)

Reality is.... no I can honestly say I would not be breaking down your door looking for you. But I am geographically challenged. As for your family and friends, I can't comment on why they don't step up to your needs. I can say I am sorry that you feel that alone. Nobody should feel that sad and alone. I don't have the answers to your problems, but I am glad you came in here and shared a little bit with us.  We really do care about each other here. Some times it can feel like the ones here are all you have because we can relate to being and feeling like the world is caving in on us.

I read that prayers are hugs sent long distance. The angels sang when you were born.

A note about suicidal thoughts Thoughts about death or suicide are common in depression, and it's important to take such thoughts seriously. If you feel like giving up or as if you might hurt yourself, get help immediately:

Hello Instead of Forever Good-bye

Sometimes when it seems
Nobody cares
Give life a chance
With all our prayers

Go wash your face
Then grab a notepad
Write SELF MATTERS includes me
I REFUSE to be sad

While you are thinking "What Next?"
So your heart will mend ...
Make a pact with yourself
To be your best friend

Don't say Forever Good-bye
When your heart has sunk
Instead remember Dr. Phil says
"God don't make junk."

good night

Alrighty all! I need some sleep. I hate popping in real quick & then leaving but all this rain is making me sleepy. I worked today as well so that has a little to do with my fatigue. 

Hope you all have a safe and blessed night. May ailments be relieved and dreams be sweet.

I feel better today so maybe my sore throat and runny nose and eyes and headache were red ozone alert (pollution) day instead of catching my neighbors cold. She said today she has another cold so cold has now been going on about two weeks for her although she is 84. I started to take Tigger around to see Mimosa tree and so much smog you could not see the blue sky. Dare I say that is a bit (or a lot) depressing. Maybe summer smog causes SAD like winters do. I hope you don't have pollution there. When Sighing was here she'd send gentle breezes to Texas via prayer. Amazing Grace, coincidentally or heaven sent, every time member Sighing said that it got breezy here. I am glad that you are getting TLC from Scarfy. Tigger gives me TLC when I'm under the weather too. That rain Heather spoke of has me yawning, or oxygen depravation from smog here, and I just noticed my throat is still sore. They say misery loves company.... Send me a gentle breezes smog be gone prayer and I'll send you a get well prayer. Hugs and prayers, SEA
