Thank you for understanding my problem. What makes it worse is that this was the first time I had been on FB in over 2 yrs.

My friend was upset that his words hurt me, so he emailed me and apologized. He is gay and someone he knew went on FB and attaked him very rudely and specifically. Ive known him for a long time (over 20 years.) I also know he is bigoted has been from the get go. He was accepted by my family at face value and always have we loved him. As years go by he has become very verbal about politics and those around him. It is sad but true.

I sound like I am judging him but Im not. In every relationship there is good and bad. He has changed alot since we lived in Phoenix. My husband passed away at 32 and I moved my kids and I back to Idaho, my home. He passed a little over 19 years ago. I had it tough for most of this time. Docs are saying I am suffering from PTSD because of it. I am not surprised.

I feel better today especially since I read your response. I know how you feel about looking in while standing on the side lines. I dont know if I will ever have another relationship, I can only hope I meet a someone that supports me and the other way around.

It may come my way and I hope to see it happening without my blinders on. I have always had a hard time making friends. I try to accept people for who they are. Inevitably they have done something to hurt me or I hurt them. Real friends take the good with the bad and grow more close for it.

I hope you find someone to spend your life with and that this person becomes a friend before anything else. You have gotto like the person in order to have a real life with him. That is how my late husband and I were, and I feel that we would have spent a long life together. He died of bi-lateral pneumonia. It was very hard for me, and yet I know he has been with me all this time.

I wish this for you and everyone else who is suffering thru these problems on their own. I believe everything is better when shared with someone special.

I am still clinically depressed, and still have all of my problems physically, but thru all of it hope still has a solid corner. I couldnt go on if it werent so.

Good luck and many blessings on your search for that someone special.View Thread

I am writing this for the 2nd time since the system logged me out and I couldnt submit want I wanted to stay.

I want to say something original but I think everyone has accomplished this already. So Ill just state about me.

I have severe depression, fibro, diabetes, arthritis in spinal and pelvic areas, morbidly obese and feeling like Im falling apart piece by piece.

I gained 60 lbs in the last yr due to antidepressants; lost both of my dogs to old age; and now I am selling my home I have llived in for the last 19 yrs. Due to my health I cannot live alone. So I have moved into my daughters new home. I hate moving-I lose my hair due to stress, eat more and get more depressed.

With the weight gain and having limited movement and pain I have got to do something. So I am going thru PT twice a week. I missed a week and really felt bad. Even when Im doing something good, I feel guilty and get depressed.

I feel like someone has taken my oars and now Im adrift at sea. Any suggestions on what to look for in a psychiatrist/counselor. Talking helps but my family get strange when I try to talk to them so I stopped looking to them for support. I have a pdoc change every year due to my doctor granduating and becoming a dr in their own right. I started looking for a new pdoc and have an appt with an internal medicine dr. I hope this is a good move.

I kinda feel empty--with my emotions put on hold. I hear that some of us cry for no apparent reason. I live such any emotionless life that to cry will have to be the will of God. I hope he helps me soon cuz my dam is about to burst. I havent had a complete breakdown in quite awhile but I feel with all the changes in the last couple of months and having dream about my late husband (he passed when I was 34 and he was 32 from bilateral pneumonia,) is causing all the emotions to come forth. Im not sure that will be a great idea.

I have had suicidal thoughts and I can understand why a person feels this way. Icant leave this earth making my family feel guilty cuz they didnt help. besides I want to lose weight and see my grandchildren graduate college (they are 16, 10, and 7.) Everyone needs a goal so that we can ward off this ugly sadness we feel.

I dont know when I started feeling depressed. I think its been with me all my life. I have always felt depressed about my weight and gaining 60 lbs really hurts physically and mentally. I was pretty ok in jr high, a little heavy but nothing very bad, I thought I looked good. My father who binged and purged regularly just to stay between 195 and 200 lbs said that he would buy me a new wardrobe if I would lose weight. At least 20 lbs when I was 5foot 7 1/2 inches and weighed in 145 ( I shold have been about 125 to 130 lbs. My dad never complimented me. I guess that is why I started getting depressed and eating more. Now I look back and get more depressed cuz I looked good then and now I can barely walk due to my weight.

If I could give advice to people it would be to say you should always find good in others and especially in yourself. The more you hate yourself or something in your life the more it can cause depression. Im not trying to sound rude, Im just looking at part of my process and hoping no one else gets hit like this. I want to get rid of my depression (we all do) yet most times I cant think of a single reason to get up and just walk. Such a simple thing for most, but it is really depressing for those of us who cant.

I look around and ask myself why does every one look like their life is so much better. Have I been dealt the losing hand. It sure feels like it and I have to force myself to find something positive in me. It is difficult most days but I keep trying for my grandchildren. they are my hope.

I gues I have rambled enough and I hope I havent affended anyone. I havejust one more thing to say.

I hope everyone gets one great day so that the next day will hopefully be better.View Thread
