Pete -

I have no doubt that you will pull this one off. (For what it's worth.)

Mike

OMG, I am so angry just hearing this !

I would start with reporting that judge to whatever authority he answers to and quickly follow up with a lawsuit against him for violating your rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Add in slander and libel.....as he both said it and will write it up in the order.

This is beyond frakked up !

Mike,

First of all, thank you for your great discussion about Pete's problem. This site has people from all sorts of professions. Even retired or otherwise moved on, your opinion is worth a lot more than those of us who have never practiced.

I have had to take the MMPI several times through the years, mostly for employment screening. I have always thought of the old joke "Are you still paranoid if they really are out to get you?" ;)

A friend of mine got his Doctor of Psychology at U Minn. and said that test was the laughing stock of their department.

Pete - HANG IN THERE, BUDDY!

Mike

You folks, are ALL the Best!

I've been seriously considering ending my life.
(When it comes to something like this, isn't that my choice?)

I do realize that God wouldn't appreciate it.

I do keep reading the "Book of Job".
Heavy stuff!

Again, I cannot thank ya'll enough for your kind friendship.

At this time, when those I most "Traditionally" depended on, have departed me,
yet, I realize, that they were in for my cash, my money.

Who will love me with a minimal amount?

No one here judges me. This is Beautiful!

As if Biblical..

I cannot tell you all, how I do love you all!

Pete


"AintSoBad"'

I am SO sorry to hear that you are dealing with all this hassle right now on top of everything else, Pete!!:hug: I so wish I could help you and take away your problems but I know I can't unfortunately - just know that I am here if you ever need/want anyone to talk to !!!

Please don't do anything stupid like ending your life!!! I KNOW things are tough for you right now but it WILL get better - it HAS to!! It might take time but things will start improving. Don't give up hope - without it, we have nothing!!!!

I know how depressing it can be dealing with RSD and all of the other crap it throws at you but don't give in!!! I have been in the place you are in now and it is horrible!!!!

We are all here for you and will try and help and support you in anyway we can!! I really enjoy reading your posts!!!:)

I hope you are able to get things sorted once and for all and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers !! Please keep us posted as and when you can!!

Alison

Ali,
You, are such a smart darling of this rsd mess...... I hates to say it like that.

no.
I could never do anything so stupid as to take my life.
God gave me a gift, how DARE I take it away?

That would be the ultimate in stupidity!

You're right!

Even though, EVERYTHING I have worked for, and have been so lucky to have been gifted,
is now gone, I could not be so idiotic!
No Way!
Thank you, my young friend!!!

God, and his son,
have and hold some other reality for me. (And, for all of us)!

I've just never been so low...

You all, lift me to a higher place!

I was CRAZY to give my love to someone who was only sent by Satan, to use me!
I feel "dirty"!

You all, make me feel "renewed", and I cannot get that from my "loved ones", my brother,
my children, etc........


I want to thank you all!
And, all for your PM's!

Please, don't be shy!
Keep them coming.
I am at the lowest time of my weakness.

Yet, I'd do anything to save anyone of ya'll!!

Truly, I mean that!

Pete

Your choice is either to accept the ruling, or to follow Mike's friendly, helpful suggestions, as well as your other buddies on NT.

Ending your life is not a choice,nor an option; however, it is a selfish act. :Speechless:

Why cave in and make life easier on the X? Fight!

You are so much stronger than you realize, and as a friend, I am reminding you that your LIFE makes a difference to those in contact with you. I don't believe you are a selfish person and I am sure many on NT and those that visit you at your home, would agree with me.

Sincerely,

Thank you Pete!!:hug:

I am SO glad to hear that you would never, ever consider taking your own life!!! We all need you and you DO have a purpose on this planet for as long as you live!!

I lost my aunty to suicide and it was devestating. She commited suicide after her daughter died in a car crash as she couldn't cope with being on her own. I was always told that suicide is the 'cowards way out' and I truly believe that it is!! As you said, God gave you life and have to respect that and live it to the fulliest!!!!

Suicide is not a nice game and I don't think the sufferer realises what they are doing to their family and friends when they are so depressed. Yes suicide may end all of their problems but it creates h*ll for everyone else in their lives!!!

I'm sorry you are feeling down! I can relate as I have been feeling pretty depressed lately for some reason. If you ever want someone to talk to, you know where I am as I truly understand what you are going through!!:hug:

Take care and I hope things start picking up for you soon!

Job is the bomb
 

You are really on the right track reading Job. It is a humbling and inspiring book, isn't it? Remember, Job did not ever feel that God had forgotten about him and never stopped leaning on him (even when I would've long since thought no one was there to lean TO.) There are many things that can be taken from you-really everything-but only you can take away your own faith.

I'm not typically a very active believer, but couldn't help but encourage you to stay in Job...so many promises and inspirations! It's my absolute favorite book.
