Checking in with a quick thank you...

[Annoniemus]

I just wanted to let everyone who cared so much yesterday know that I am ok. Through all of your posts and PMs you really made me stop and think. Fortunately, you helped me realize what a truly stupid and selfish thing that I was going to do, however, now I am stuck here treading quicksand.

I want to do something with my life and can't. It just doesn't work out to be able to do it. It might in time, but it seems so far away right now.

Anyways, that stuff I will work out on my own. I just wanted to let you know that I was ok and to thank you again for your time and caring words.

Glad to hear from you again!! You made the right decision yesterday. If you enjoy kids, why not work at Toys R Us, or a local library or somewhere where you can help people AND make a difference in someone else's life while helping yourself.
Keep us posted!!

Great to see you again, annoniemous!

Life does have its ups and downs, but about all we can do is just keep plugging away!


Take care,

Annon, please don't try to handle all of this on your own. Is there a church in your area that you would feel comfortable going to or a support group? You don't have to be alone in this. Always remember that tomorrow is another day.

Please take care.

I think many people were rather worried about you yesterday. I'm glad to see you're feeling better today.

Sometimes the world does seem to come crashing down.

You know there are many people around here that are just a PM away when you need help. Count me in as one of them.

Glad you are doing better today! I am a PM away if you need to vent.

Glad to see you posting and feeling better. You really do need to see about finding someone to talk to though. A councilor could help you get into a better frame of mind and could also help you take some steps necessary to make changes in your life.
It's great to see you posting today though. Thank you for giving us an update.

I missed your original post and couldn't find it but from the responses I can only guess what it was about...

I have been there myself and wanting to do ANYTHING to take the pain away...even if that meant taking drastic measures...

I am now an anti-depressants but have a lot of emotional work to do still...

I hate to see people hurting. I wish I could take your pain away. Something that has really helped me is these boards; who would've thought that I could get so much comfort from strangers. Actually two of those "strangers" have become good friends.

And EVERYONE here cares so much...and there is ALWAYS someone online to talk to!

I wish you the best. (((HUGS)))

You said you can't do anything with your life right now, but how about starting with something that will make you feel good about yourself. Go through your house and find junk that you don't need any more- clothes or anything you don't use or need. You can do it any time you have a spare moment. Put them in boxex or trash bags and bring them to Goodwill, a shelter, or anywhere near your home. That will make you feel good to know you helped someone and you won't spend a lot of time doing it and it won't cost anything. You will begin to feel like you have something to contribute.

I don't know what your pain is, but multiply it by a factor and that won't even come close to the kind of pain your children would feel without you. Just being a mom IS doing something with your life.

If you need someone to talk to, send me a PM.

Not sure what your religious background is but from the minister's wife, God is with you! I'm glad to hear you are ok for the moment. Just take it one day, one hour, one minute at a time. I have an open pm box as well if you need a friend.

Nice to hear again from you, Ann. You have lots of people here who care about you, as a person, an individual, real and breathing. And you have those who care in your real life too. Thanks for dropping by and saying hello, always do so when you feel like it. Plus, I like the name Ann.

It's great that you're here with us another day, and for many more to come I'm sure! Just take it one day at a time, and hopefully each day will get a little easier.

And everyone's right. You don't have to go it alone! We're all here to listen, and offer support. Always remember that. You won't find a group of more caring individuals then you'll find right here! Many of us are only a PM away. Remember that.

Hang in there! Things will get better!

It's great to see you here today. You still have my phone numbers, I hope. Use them if you need to talk, okay?

 

[BWVDenise]

Sometimes things take time.... be patient. Please PM is there is anything I can do or if you want to chat!!! So glad to hear from you!

 

[browneyes]

I hope you get out of that quicksand soon. If not, yell for a branch.

 

[Gette88]

I'm so happy to see your post. I'm glad your feeling better.

 

[kdibattista]

Hang in there and please PM me if you need anything or anyone.
