I know exactly what you mean and I have not had sex because its my choice and if I never do again its ok, but I miss the feel of arms around me or even a kiss on the cheek, and hearing someone say I love you and mean it! I don't think I can hug myself, not strong enough, and I have 3 dogs and they have kept me going for years and the reason I won't leave is I won't leave my fur babies!

Hi Junie, welcome to our family I am so sorry for all you have, and are going through. I cling to my fur babies too, keep hugging them, and keep swimming

Thanks, I can keep up with fur babies ( all 3 in bed with me now) but unable to swim anymore, but sure wish my sons would clean out my hot tub so I could get some use out of it

I had to laugh yesterday dear Junie. I had to be in bed with this crud I am fighting, and had all three of our furbabies in bed with me all day. They are comforting. But, yes, the human touch is vital to us as well. Please keep doing what you are doing, and God will provide in His time. Luv u

Yes I don't know what I would do without them, I too have had the crud, going on almost 2 weeks ago and I know they are getting bored!

Junie have you checked out this forum...http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum28.html

Sorry, I have a therapist, I just wanted human responses, or maybe someone went through same thing, I don"t have time or energy to go to another place, thanks for the offer, but I will either stay here or just turn off PC! Please guys, stop trying to send me to sister site, I was here when this place opened and know its there and what it is for. I am grateful for the offer, but if you don't know what to say to me, then its ok to say nothing, I get it!

Its OK dear Junie....sometimes, it is just enough to say we are here and we care. And, yes, we are human. Stick around. There is a lot of love in here. Just jump in someday in our wonder thread. As you get to know everyone better it will get easier. There is a lot going on right now, and people are strained. ((((big hugs)))) to you and those furkids of yours. Is there any chance of getting that hot tub going for you?

Junie, click the link Alffe gave you. She is NOT sending you to another site.

It's the forum here on NeuroTalk that members post Work Comp or Social Seciruty questions. You won't get answers to help you in that department on SOS. Alffe was trying to help you get answers and help.

I wish you could understand that we are all trying to help.

BTW, PhychCentral, the link that Chemar gave you is our sister site. Run by DocJohn, just like we are. There is more qualified help for emotional issues there. She was only trying to help.

Junie sharing links to another forum thats here if it might help is something we do for eachother. even share links to other sites if it will help . Alffe mom was reaching out trying to help you Junie...or anyone else that reads this post. we are a support place ..hugs ,listening, and giving info is what most of us are here for. Alffe mom
Junie
group hug
we all need one right now

PEACE
