NO!

people have even quit replying to my job inquiries.

have i tried "something different?"

YES - all kinds of things.

and i'm frickin tired of it... tired of trying and stabbing, and scraping, and thinking, and edging and trying to use my imagination, and thinking out of the box and stabbing and scraping some more with pants skirts and my hair tied up in an elegant bun and STILL just

NOT GETTING ANYwhere.

i'll try not to worry about my retirement. (the way things are going i'd be better off never to reach that age.)
Waves... I'm sorry if I have offended you when my intention was to offer you support and encouragement. I don't know you very well yet...know that you are bipolar and I do have some knowledge of that illness.

All that any of us can do is share our life experiences in the hopes that others will find some hope and strength in knowing that others suffer and survive...that they have some understanding of the difficulties..be they mental, physical, or emotional.

I don't live with chronic pain as many of you do, or cancer...I can scarely imagine the difficulity just rising each day must be...I "manage" my depression for the most part. But we all have something in common. We need each other or we wouldn't be here, on this forum.

Hugs for the room.
