I followed through with my appt. She prescribed some meds.

She wants me in for a full physical next week. She also gave me a list of therapists in my area.

My day was better. I know I waited too long to go to the dr.

I have had dark thoughts before but that was the first time I actually started making plans in my mind.

Mys daughters kiss and hug pulled me out of myself. I realised I needed to reach out and you guys were there.

I started reading a book from one of your threads. The author was socompassionate in his introduction. I read the first 2 chapters.

Im saving the rest for the next time I need it.

I made through today. Youb are right a hug sure beats talking to thin air

Thank you village girl. I like how you have the self confidence to stand up for yourself.

I want your aditude. jws are used to letting people think for them. I have to kick that habbit.

I am dreading work and I am nervous about my appt.

I am so thinking about quitting. But I know I should probably wait before I make any big decisions.

Heres to an other day.

That's a relief. My mom was committed when she had a breakdown. when I was little. After she was released..about 6 months she tried to kill herself. She ended up in the hospital again. They gave her shock treatments. She lost a lot of her memory. She decided it would be best to give us up.

My sisters have never forgiven he r for giving us up.

Anyway I never have trusted psychologists.

I followed through and made an appointment with my family dr. I had been putting it off for a awhile. I guess I waited too long.

Thank you for your advice. I made it through another day. Your posts really helped.

Im going to be 51 in october. I guess I still have time to make up some of the time I lost being half awake.

Its time to get off the fence.

Thank you for your kind and encouraging posts.

I made a dr. Appt. for tomorrow.

I am afraid if I admit to suicidal thoughts they will hospitalize me.

Do you know if that will happen? Or should I just say i m depressed?

I dont want to be hospitalized.

Lois you are the courageous one. I know you have been through so much. I admire your spirit. You give me hope.

I found out my older sister is being investigsted for an unsolved 30 year double homicide.

She had a horrible childhood. I dont think she did it but I think she witnessed something.

I made through today. Thanks.Tomorrow is another day.

My plan: get up, take kids to school, go to work, call dr. for appt.

Im thinking of asking for time off but Im afraid of the time alone.

Things im grateful for: my husband, my kids

Im off to bed...thanks for seeing me...

.for acknowledging my existence. Sometimes I think I am the figment of my own imagination.

Thank you everyone for your encouragement.

I have felt invisible most of my life. Its ironic that people that cant see have reached out and made me feel visible if even for a while.

Clarity..I will try to remember to find things to be grateful for.

You guys will be on top of the list.

I have been rereading the posts when I am feeling down. It has helped me.

Whats really sad is I dont have anyone to lose in the jws. I went to the Sunday meeting with a friend.

She is elderly and has been feeling poorly. She is getting her affairs in order. She

Is having heart problems . We went in and I saw all these faces and realised no one really knows me...and I dont really know them.

The same at work.

Adam the only reason I am hanging on is for my kids and husband. I will try to see the beauty.

My nephew died almostva year ago. He was only 26. The only thing that got my sister through was the paradise hope.

But I know she is still devastated. I have tried reaching out to her. But i saw the devastation his death caused.

Jgnat. Thank you for the site. I needed that.

Darth Frosty: Star Wars gave you strength.lol. I guess some people use god to meditate on.....the force..god spirit.. maybe they are the same thing....but you have to have your convictions first.

I dont have any I can trust any more.

All: I am looking at my life and dont see much. I have been going through the motions. I think I was just a dead person walking.

I will make a appointment at least for medication. Maybe dr. Can recommend someone.

I am scaring myself.

Im glad there are not any sleeping pillsin the house. Im too tired to go to the lake.

Outlaw: when my daughter said puppies I thought of you. I was hoping for a cute puppy.

I am doing good to drag myself out of bed to go to work. I really want to quit. But I am afraid if I dont have work to go to I will crawl in bed and never come out.

I cuddled with my hubby and watched a movie. I had a nice converstion with my niece.

I have been reading about how many of you cant be with your family. I realised I dont have that excuse. I know I need to make an effort. Listening to you guys I knew how my mom must feel. She is a jw but far away and I seldom call. We are not that close. She was so happy to hear from last week.

I just dont have anything left to give.

Thank you for your kind words.

I hope I can get through work tomorrow.
