SICCY,
YOU ARE STRONG............ YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO HAVE DAYS WHERE YOU JUST DON'T THINK YOU CAN TAKE ONE MORE THING ON YOUR PLATE.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL BECAUSE I AM NOT YOU AND ONLY EACH ONE OF US KNOWS EXACTLY HOW WE FEEL.

COMING ON HERE AND VENTING IS A STRONG THING. IT TAKES STRENGTH TO BE ABLE TO ADMIT THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND THAT LIFE CAN BE ALMOST TOO MUCH TO BEAR.

I WISH I HAD WORDS OF WISDOM, BUT I DON'T. I JUST WANT YOU TO TRUST YOURSELF THAT THIS DAY OF OVERWHELMING IS NOT WEAKNESS.
A GREAT MANY A PEOPLE COULD NOT DEAL WITH A IOTA OF WHAT YOU ARE COPING WITH.

GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT FOR THAT AND GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO JUST SAY "WHY ME"?

THEY SAY THAT WE ARE NEVER GIVEN MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE
I WONDER WHO MADE THAT ONE UP...............

THIS SITE IS FULL OF SURVIVORS AND I WOULD BET THAT EVERYONE OF THEM HAS HAD MANY DAYS WHERE THEY JUST WANTED TO GIVE UP.
I AM ONE OF THEM..............

BUT FOR SOME REASON, SOMETHING TRIGGERS MY STUBBORN SIDE AND I JUST WON'T.

MY FRIEND JUST TOLD ME YESTERDAY THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYONE HOW HAS A BIGGER MESS THAN ME! (SOME OUT OF MY CONTROL AND SOME SELF-INFLICTED).

WELL, QUESS WHAT? I STOPPED MY HYSTERICAL CRYING AND IT TURNED INTO HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER. AS MY FRIEND, I AM THE WORSE MESS SHE HAS SEEN, BUT SHE LOVES ME AND IS THERE FOR ME AND SHE KNEW MY SENSE OF HUMOR WELL ENOUGH THAT IT KNOCKED ME BACK INTO FIGHT MODE.

STILL DON'T KNOW WHY I THOUGHT IT WAS SO PATHICALLY FUNNY, BUT I DID. I THINK IT IS BECAUSE IT COULD BE WORE FOR ME WHEN I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT IT. AND SHE THNKS I'M A MESS, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT SHE WAS WEARING..........

LIFE IS NOT FAIR AND MOST OF US ON THIS SITE LIVE IT AND NOBODY HANDLES IT GREAT 24/7. WE ARE ONLY HUMAN................

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT IS OKAY TO CRACK UNDER THE PRESSURE AND THAT IT IS NOT WEAKNESS, IT IS LIFE, AS CRAPPY AS IT CAN BE SOMETIMES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT PRAYER, BUT I WILL PRAY THAT YOUR BURDEN LIGHTENS AND THAT YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO "JUST PLAIN HAVE ENOUGH TODAY."

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, EVEN IF IT FEELS LIKE IT RIGHT NOW.
PEOPLE CARE.

MAY YOU FEEL ALL THE HUGS THAT ARE BEING SENT TO BRING YOU COMFORT.
JUDY
