Intro?
 
I don’t know how you do intro’s here. So I practiced.

A. Hi! I am really struggling just trying to make it day to day – how are you?

B. Hi! Don’t know what the hell I am doing here – I am one of those who think about leaving others behind because I can’t handle the pain.

C. Hi! The physical health of my spouse/myself really sucks and I really don’t want to hang around to find out how bad it can get.

D. Hi I am not nuts; just frequently appear to be as I struggle with PTSD.

E. Hi! I’m doing fine? How about you?

F. Probably don’t have a damn thing to offer anyone here but am just really down, so I thought I would find some good people to annoy.

G. Hi! Nice to meet you all. I am going to feel like a complete *** tomorrow for even writing here.

H. All of the above are true.

I None of the above are true.

J. Who really gives a sh….

Hi sunnysidedown~
Probably don’t have a damn thing to offer anyone here but am just really down, so I thought I would find some good people to annoy.
You found me!! We can be good friends :D
LET'S ANNOY EACH OTHER!!! :hug:

sunnysidedown -- the wonderful people here WILL listen and they won't be annoyed ... If I can't annoy them - nobody can. Please talk to us.

DMACK 11-26-2007 05:34 PM

A... You are not alone in your day-day strugle.
B....You are here because fate brought you to a web-site where others share your frailties.
And you braveley want to share your thoughts of potential suicide with others who have been there, or who have suffered as a resullt of their loved ones loosing their lives to suicide.
your pain is imense and this forum gives you the oppotunity to 'VENT YOUR SPLEEN' so to speak.
C. Your pyshical health and that of your spouse, are [ without knowing] obviously contributing factors in how you feel. None of us truly know what we can handle until we go through a situation. But pain and misery are contributing factors of self belief and self esteem, and without these charicteristics,... life is always going to be a strugle.
D. I know i'm as mad as a 'March Hare', but from April to February i know, now i have Bi Polar Disorder.:D
E.I'm glad your fine, but i'm not 100% SURE you are. Currently i'm not too bad but verging on a bit of Mania,....work,,,,time of year...drinking slightly more than last week.....
F. The names David, annoy me all you want..................and i have a hunch you have more to offer than you think????????
G, Sunnisidedown nice to meet you as well , i hope you stick arround. And come tomorrow i bet i feel worse than you!!!! hic-uppppp.
H. all of the above a statements i truely believe.
I ....none of the above claim to be right, or statements of pure fact, just my life experience.

J. WELL ACTUALLY I DO GIVE A S***!!!!!!

Abbie 11-26-2007 07:31 PM

Sunnysidedown...

A... How am I? Breathing...one breath at a time.

B... I don't know what I am doing here either... but the water's nice and the people are GREAT so I stuck around.... :) Please stick around too!!!! :hug:

C... You can annoy me anytime too!!! I don't mind... and I don't bite.:winky:

D... Annoying people from time to time can be fun... :winky:

E... I often feel like a complete _$$ for what I write on here...but I get great help from the others here and feel better after. PLEASE let us help you too!!!

F... I REALLY GIVE A $_IT!!!

G... I am where you are...

H... as far as sarcasm... I understand... It helps me get through many a days.

I... You REALLY AREN'T ANNOYING ANYONE!!!! HONEST!!!

J... PLEASE come back and talk some more....

:hug:

Alffe 11-26-2007 08:13 PM

We like irritable....beats the heck out of people who just lurk quietly. *grin

Depression sucks! It trys it's best to pull you down. That's what surviving is all about....winning over the beast! It's exhausting work!!!

I'm glad you're talking about it. :hug:

Wren 11-26-2007 08:22 PM

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh sunnyside, I'm so lonesome I could, I could, well, I can't take it. That's why I sit here pecking on this stupid machine. I was TRYING to say that I understand what you're saying and how you feel.

And I treasure these gorgeous people who listen to me ... they will listen to you too

Alffe 11-26-2007 08:52 PM

We are not strangers here...we are a little family with all the warts and scars that families have. We've been there, done that, felt that and lived to tell it.
I think you're gonna like it here. ;)

lou_lou 11-26-2007 10:28 PM

dear new people aka sunnysidedown
 
if you only knew the story of Alfee's journey -you would know she does care...if she didn't she'll tell you straight out - she has as far as I am concerned an honorary doctors degree of experience, these last 10 years that I know of -dont let the dancin' frog fool you -she is real! :D


many of us are not just a group of idiots who have never felt the pain of
only depression, or only anxiety, most of us have been kicked in the butt'
repeatedly by life,on a daily basis; but for some reason unknown completely -we get back up~
before the man counts 10...

some of us have extremely painful diseases we will die with, some of us have seen our loved ones die from self inflicted wounds. we are all very much human and aquainted with grief -some of us know Mr.Pain's first name...

we take up our mission / or infirmities daily - one minute at a time, one hour at a time, and one day at a time...some days are black, some days are grey
and some day's are grey with a chance of clouds perhaps with a silver lining
called -hope...

SO?
"this is the place to "talk it out"
so if you do not want to write anymore that is okay -but you have found a great group of people -

I do not include myself - I am not that great... I am very particular in whom I
waste life energy on... :D

I dont think your idiots. I think I am. I am a total f....... idiot.
I applaud your strength. And apologize for intruding because I am not that strong. I am tired of this frigging battle.

I'm very sorry. You were right I am not one to waste lifes energy on.

I wrote this because - you are not a waste of my life energy...

bizi 11-27-2007 01:23 AM

Dear sunnyside down,
You are not intruding in the least...
you are very depressed and this is the place to talk about your feelings. You sound sick and tired of being sick and tired.
This is depression.
Have you tried different meds, mixes of meds, are you bipolar?
WE have a forum jsut for that as well.
Do you have a therapist?
Have you found out if you like to journal and get things out on paper...or start a blog....
ARe you strong enough to make yourself take a walk everyd ay if you can?
Tell me about your suppoort system,,, the people in your life that you care about...any pets...they help to comfort us alot.
This is a struggle,,,this life we lead...we have to be active in getting well, we can't be passive about...things will be different for you when you decide they will be.
I wish you well ness and let us here your story.
(((HUGS)))

Alffe 11-27-2007 06:16 AM

I don't know what nightmare you had to live through Sunnyside but we understand slipping in and out of reality. Sometimes our lives are too horrible to remember, to painful to think about....sometimes they come crashing back when we least expect it. I'm sorry...:hug: We are here for you and you can do this. I read that you have a T and I assume he/she is working with meds. for you. I don't need to tell you that it isn't going to be easy but you are worth it! Hang tough. :hug:

Curious 11-27-2007 08:04 AM

i like mine poached..scrambled...crispy fried sunny side down..just about any ole way...just not a raw shooter with a chaser of beer. :eek: my uncle drank those. beyond gross.

yep..kids had a good day. mine..so so..kinda blech.

:Wave-Hello: how about a wave and no hug? :wink: you have mrsa..again? that is the chits. that stuff is tough. i know my kids schools are being very strict on the hand washing and using sanitizers. we own a business and sanitize everything many times a day. keep a commercial size bottle for the clients to use.

well boy howdy..i think you have met many of the regulars. :D

i'm glad you are posting. i know many things can't be shared on a forum. sometimes i wonder those things.

FeelinGoofy 11-27-2007 08:44 AM

Hi Sunnysidedown,
I dont know exactly what demons you are fighting, but i've got a feeling i've been where you are. I was diagnosed with PTSD over alot of sexual abuse as a child and the flashbacks were horrid... I ended up in a hospital on suicide watch. I'm here to tell you things really do get better. That was 5 years ago. but still remember it clearly. If you'd like to chat, you can send me a PM...
I have to get my kiddos to school and then go to work, but i'll be back online this evening... :hug:

Alffe 11-27-2007 07:49 PM

You are very welcome Sunnyside but we haven't done anything yet. *grin
We are hard to get rid of....oh and don't worry for a second about our CT (Tena) She is one tough lady who just keeps on keeping on.

Now about you........we get it...you wish you were dead. We've all felt that way at times...some of us still do. It's nothing to be embarrassed about...it's important to talk about how you feel. (That old elephant in the room that doesn't go away)

Have you read Pter's wise words at the top of the forum? The ones about redirecting your thoughts...about rescuing yourself on a daily basis?

Hopelessness is an awful feeling...you need a reason to live. And here we all are...wanting to be one of your reasons. :grouphug:

~scrabble 11-28-2007 12:50 AM

Hi sunnyside. I hope you keep up the dialogue here. There really are some very understanding and supportive people who visit and post.

Alffe .... you said you like "irritable" ?? (As long as it isn't in the same sentence as 'bowel' ... LOL!)

DMACK 11-28-2007 06:34 AM

SUNNYSIDEDOWN

Your never alone in your thoughts and your pain. Your mind and soul are always aware of the hurt you feel. Those arround you see your pain only few chosses to talk about it.

When i said i get Manic , sadly its not the happy mania mine is always depression aswell, so i'll keep my mania, but i'm still willing to share your depression with you.:hug:


Life is at times the prevebial PIG,...And the cards were dealt often cruel, but they make us stronger when we overcome problems one at a time.

The past is full of memories and some memories are unhelpful and hinder our journey forward. its commonly called BAGGAGE.

So its time to clean out your closet.... things that in the past or present that make you feel ill, should be disgarded immediately, they weigh you down burden your mind and destroy your soul...It is time to be selfish think of your self.....concentrate on your needs.. you cant change the past but the future is yours to mold exactly how you want to.

Despair is a blight on life... hope is the cure....


I like my eggs scrambled by the way just like life, a mixed up pot, that tastes ok..........but if you eat to much you can occassionaly get fed up with it.

But eggs like life are very versitile and every day like life you can make a new choice to SUIT YOU.


ps SEND OVER SOME OF THAT PAIN, I'M READY TO SHARE IT WITH YOU FEEL PRETTY GOOD TO DAY.........[ and i still give a S**t..........]

David

FeelinGoofy 11-28-2007 10:15 AM
