when your'e whole world seems to come crashing down around you.....

Thanks everyone, you are all such wonderful caring, honest, and giving people, Kelly I was so tempted just to pig out on some chocolates, my comfort food, but I am trying to diet right now, and I am really proud I did not succumb to my usual habit, so onward we go eh?

Slick I have to forgive this betrayal as this person means too much to me, although I am not going to forget it, this person needs my help and some professional help along the way, so I am going to be there for them.

Love you all.
:)

Bless you Carole. That makes you a much better person than I'll ever be.

Oh I don't know about that, they are merely words, I actually have to carry it through yet my friend .

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better Carole.

I hope and pray that everything works out for the better in the long run.:)

Take care of yourself.

Oh Carole, I hope things are going much better for you! I don't like to see you down. :( You can PM me if you need someone to talk to! :)

Here are some things that I do when I need a coping method. I am not the greatest at using them because for almost a year I have been using a not so good one, but when I choose to use a different one here are some that I use:

Reading a good book
Writing in a journal
Looking at the nature-its SO pretty :)
Looking at how beautiful Heidi is and how much I love her (that cheers me up some)
Talking to someone about how I feel
Writing letters
Writing on my story
Listening to some good music
And If I am having a REALLY bad day, I sleep

I am sure you can think of some other ones too! I also like to read letters people wrote me telling me how much they love me. Oh, and going for a walk is good too. I don't know if any of those help, but they help cheer me up, and make the day a little bit more bearable. :) I don't like to shop so thats something I couldn't do because I can NEVER find clothes that fit me because they must make the pants for giants...hello, we are not all giants here! :rolleyes:

Anyway, I hope things are going better for you! I am sorry that its so rotten for you. Remember you can PM me if you need someone to talk to. :) {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Thank you both for your kind words and helpful thoughts, i will keep them all in mind, just taking one day at a time, I have the paper run to do with my daughter today,so that will get me walking.:)

How are you doing Carole? I hope well. I have been thinking about you. :)

*HUGS* to you Carole. It looks like you've got some great advice/ideas. I hope you start feeling better soon.

I myself, I take a long hot bath, sleep, or go for long walks in the woods when I'm feeling down.

Take care!

Still thinking about you Carole.

{{{HUGS}}}

Thank you guys, you are all so sweet, I am doing ok, as you can see I am still making a contribution to PT here in lots of threads, keeps my mind of things, and Just moving on,and dealing with it all, and forgiving, life is ok, I am stronger than I thought, and I just have to be supportive to this person.

Life deals everyone some blows now and then, some worse than others, but we just have to pick up the pieces don't we.

I know coming here was indeed the right thing to do now, because it gave me the courage to move past this and deal with it, rather than fall into a deep depression, I have you all to thank for that, I still have my down moments, but that is to be expected
.
My daughter is having a halloween party with three of her friends this weekend , so that will keep my mind busy,and the house will be a bomb site as per usual afterwards, but she is so excited, they are hoping to sleep in the backyard in a tent, but the weather is not looking so good.

I have lots of other things to be thinking about, my mother's upcoming 70th birthday, I was finding it so hard to find her a present, she has everything she wants really, but I found the perfect gift I know she will love, she is such a fan of the singer Daniel O'donnell, met him many times, seen him here, aussie, Ireland, and his latest CD is not available here yet, But I have ordered it on the internet from the USA, she will be so happy, she has every other one, so I cannot wait to see her face when she gets it.

Sorry for babbling on here, but its great to have such a wonderful place full of caring, people who listen to me, and help me through my daily life, YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!and I LOVE YA ALL!!!!:)

Now I have another PT member who needs my support, so I am off to PM her right now, cya.

Carole, {{{hugs}}}

Hope things are looking a little brighter for you. I'm sure your mum will love her present :)

Carole, I am SO glad that things are looking up for you! And I'm sure your mother will enjoy the CD. Carole, and I mean this, if you start getting one of your down periods, Your big brother in Pittsburgh is only a PM away!!

Thanks so much Miss Meow, and David don't you worry I just might be taking you up on that offer BRO.!!:)

I am planning a dinner for my parents on her birthday evening, just hubby the kids and I and them of course and we are going to get the new DVD , it's based on the TV programme, 'who wants to be a millionaire" both my parents just love it, so we will have the giant screen up and be testing our knowledge, should be a good night all around, we then will have a lunch at our fav restaurant with my family members from Auckland the sunday prior to her Birthday, so I have plenty other things to keep my mind at bay, thanks goodness. cheers everyone.;)

Carole, I am just now reading this post for the first time .... but I wanted to say that when I am feeling really depressed, I too try to focus on my many blessings. Of course, sometimes that makes me feel even more depressed because I feel selfish for being so depressed!!! :rolleyes: LOL!!!! Just try to remember that if God brings us to it, He will bring us through it!

(((HUGS)))

Carole, first off, never apologize for talking out how or what you are feeling. This helps with the healing process.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing better and keeping yourself busy.

I also have to add, I LOVE DANIEL. I am so envious of your mother being able to see him and meet him in person. I wish he would make his way here to Montreal. I have 4 of his CD's. I could listen to him sing alllll day. He had 2 specials on PBS that I had taped and I have watched them over and over. I find his voice so soothing.

Wish your mom a Very Happy 70th Birthday for me.:)
