So down

[Logan]

Jess, one thing for sure is that if you hit rock bottom, there is only one way to go and that is UP!!!!! Of course you're dealing with so much right now, emotionally. I remember those days! I did have a two year old child to occupy my time, so it was a bit different, but still, tough, and sometimes, especially in the evenings, I had a hard time.

You hang in there. Congratulations on the 2nd job. I hope it will bring you some financial relief. And I think those beautiful pups are very, very therapeutic, Jess. Bury your face in Tommy's fur and just cry if you need to. My darling Goldens have seen a lot of that from me.

We all have things that work on bringing us down, but we do have good friends to support us through it, and no one can take that away.

We love you.

Logan

I wish I was close enough to you to give you a great big HUG and try to make you feel better. This is a great place when you're down to get picked back up again. Since I can only send a cyber hug I thought I'd include here my favorite picture of my Sasha dog. Her smiling face is almost guaranteed to put a wee smile on your own face. Her smile is contagious.

Sending hugs your way.
Here's a photo of my new hamster Munchkin, she just wanted to say hello to you and try to make you smile.

How could I not smile at Sasha and Munchkin? Thank you from the very depths of my heart, and for so many kind words. I wish I could express how much it meant to me. Your kind messages have made all the difference in the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

(((hugs))) I'm sorry that things are rough for you right now. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts, and please remember that I'm only a PM or a phone call away if you ever need to talk.

[Karen]

Remember, you can always PM me, I can send electronic hugs any time! And believe me (or ask any Pet Talker who has met me in person, when you've been hugged by a Peterson (my maiden name) you KNOW it! (And usually recover within minutes.)

As we always say, when you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on! And that's a good spot from which to use it to whack others who put you there, too!

Jess:
Forgive me...today work was very busy and I didn't have much PT time at all.

I know that you and I have never really "talked" but I've always admired you very, very much. I feel very sad because all I want to do is help you and make you feel better. I've never experienced depression, but take it from me, I know what it's like to "not like yourself" very much. I practically wrote the book on it, but I have to admit that Pet Talk has really helped and the support and love that I've received is amazing and here I am ready to give back to you.

Jess, you are very special and I really hope that we can meet someday so I can give you some {{{hugs}}} in person. Mega prayers coming out to you. Please, let that pretty smile return to your beautiful face.

[Alysser]

Aww, I'm sorry things aren't going well for you. I hope things look up soon because THEY WILL! Good luck. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

[RobiLee]

Prayers have been said, Jess. Hang in there! You are strong and you can make it through this.

{{{Many hugs coming your way}}}

[Giselle]

Jess, the pain will subside and I'm so proud and greytful that you realize that.

We cannot experience happiness without pain and frustration. While it may hurt immensely right now, the pain will dissipate and you will find even greyter joy. I don't know exactly what is going on in your life, but I do know that for every person or thing that has caused you discomfort there are ten more people out there who care for you. I do hope you feel better, Jess.

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.

Jess _ you know I am here for you if needed. I think of you often.
I am praying for a light at the end of your tunnel.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

1000 hugs for you, Jess!!!
I have been in a deep depression years ago, so I know how hard it is to see the bright side of life then. Please keep talking to us, we will help you through this!!!!!!
