So down

[K9soul]

If I could just ask for some prayers again for anyone out there who may see this, there is no need to respond. I'm going through a horrible time emotionally. I keep making mistakes, and I'm feeling close to hitting rock bottom. I just don't feel very well about myself right now. I know how very much Pet Talk prayers help, have helped me so much in the past. I've debated posting, because I hate calling attention to myself on these things, but the past few days I've made mistake after mistake in either my dealings with people, handling things at home, not doing as well at my job although some of that is beyond my ability to control. Things are hard. I'm going through an extremely rough patch and I feel so alone with no family near me or even just someone around to give me a hug and an encouraging smile.

I do have a friends who I know are always concerned about me. I just feel like I'm sliding into a depressive episode again and I'm fighting it tooth and nail, I want to beat it and come out strong again. So I am just asking for any good thoughts or prayers. Again no need to post here, just a quick thought or prayer and I will be grateful. Thank you Pet Talk..

I'm going to post anyway. I know how when you are down it helps to know others are thinking of you. I want you to be sure I am!

LOTS of (((HUGS))) and prayers on the way!

Of course I will. You have my full support in this trying time.Could you
tell me if you are seeing a Dr or counselor to get help also.We ALL need help
and support & someone to talk with one on one. Someone who doesn't judge
you at all, but helps getting through these rough times by being on your side
and offering options & points of view for you to consider.It can only help.

Thank you so much. I'm crying my eyes out just to see your comforting words .

Liz, I was seeing a doctor and a counselor but at the moment my insurance died and I'm in a pickle on affording or being qualified for insurance. I did recently get a second job but I haven't gotten set up yet, and hopefully things will be a lot more secure for me then. It's hard to sit here and say I'm suffering from depression because I've always found it hard to share a lot of personal things about myself until I hit a really bad point and suddenly don't care who knows! I know things will get better and I haven't given up yet. Just some days, I truly feel like giving up, it just all seems to be too much. But I won't. I'm stronger than that and my dogs are always here for me, as well as my friends even though they are miles away.

Thank you all. You're here to reach out to in times of need, and you are a Godsend.

k9soul,


I just found your thread.

It is ALWAYS hard to share our personnal baggage. That fact that you posted yours, reveals your stamina, an obligation to yourself, a determination to pick yourself up, dust yourself off--and look ahead for tomorrows sunrise.

I wish, soooooo hard that I could {{{{hug}}}}} you !!!!

(Closing my eyes and saying a prayer for God to lighten your load)

Aww, sweetie - you're a perfect human beings. Perfect human beings make mistakes all the time - I do it often! Be gentle with yourself. Hug a doggie or two or three

[dukedogsmom]

I'm so sorry. Please don't hesitate to call me if you want. When our friends hurt, we hurt. I hope you can make it through this. I know things seem horribly bleak right now. I've been there. After my divorce, I went through about six months of deep depression. I hope that life will let you smile again soon.

Jess, I'm so distraught to read that you're so down! I wish we lived closer so you could come over and chill and talk. I'll be thinking of you and praying that your days will be better.

I feel your pain. Since 2000, so many horrendous, sad and distressing things have happened to me, that I also didn't know how I'd go on. I sought medical help and medication and decided to change my attitude too. It took a long while, but I'm slowly snapping out of it. I consciencely decided to like myself as there was no reason not too. I realized nobody can make me feel bad or guilty if I let them. I'm proud of all I accomplished recently, despite 3 surgeries. Medicine can relieve the depression but you have to also help yourself. I know it's so hard. I really do. There are days when I still don't get out of bed, but I'm working on it. Please email or PM me if I can help you in any way. I really care about you.
