Michelle, I just read this post and I have just PMed you...let's get together tomorrow, for sure!! No excuses!! We will talk and bare our souls and work this out together...(Who ever said cats and dogs don't get along?!?!?!)
Seriously though, I am 30 minutes away from you, don't be sad or ever feel alone....I am right here! I have no friends in this tiny little state and I would LOVE to make one! Looks like you are #1 on the list sweetheart!!!

Pet Talkers: don't worry, Michelle and I are planning on meeting tomorrow night and if everything goes as planned, we will both have a new friend!! We already do, but meeting in person can make a difference. I will give her hugs from all of you!!

Michelle, can't wait until tomorrow!! Which reminds me, I had best get to sleepin'!!!

XXOO

Michelle, I wanted to respond to this but today at work was so busy that I didn't get a chance until now.

First of all (and I've mentioned this before) you are very special to me because when I first came on board in December of 2002, you were one the first members to welcome me and you helped me with my problem with Speckles. You provided some great information and for that I will always be grateful. You probably didn't notice but there was a birthday thread for you in January.

Now, I've never battled severe depression and God willing, I never will so I can't provide you with any advice on the subject. However I want you to know that when I'm feeling really down, I stay away from Pet Talk and friends. Like you, I might lurk a bit but just don't have the inspiration to post. At some point, I break down and email someone.

Jen, I'm sooooo glad that you will be getting together with Michelle. Please give her a big {{{hug}}} from me. Hang in there Michelle.....you are loved and missed when you stay away.

I too wondered where you were and hoped you were well.
PM me anytime.....
Take care of yourself and God Bless.

That's so great you two are getting together.

Oh, yay! Welcome back, sweetie, I did wonder where you were, but am just glad you are back. Depression is so difficult a disease to battle, as it seems to suck the joy out of everything. But just look at your kitties - smug, content, loved and goofy sometimes, too. THEY love you, and if such wonderful creatures can adore you, you must be pretty darned special, right?

Right.

No arguing with me!

Michelle, I've missed reading your posts and seeing pictures of your goregous cats too. I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through such a bad depression. Please feel free to pm or e-mail me any time you want to talk. Sometimes I feel lonely but then I come to PT and this helps me a lot. I'm glad that Jen will be meeting with you. Now you'll have a friend that's close to home. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Hi! I haven't posted myself for different reasons than you (just haven't had the time really...), but I shall let mamma get to the keyboard and leave her to typer for a while!

Spartacus' mamma: Hi! I'm so sorry to hear you're so down, and with all sorts of things happening, and NOT happening at the same time. Just to let you know that I shall keep my fingers crossed for you, and that I hope all turns out well. Hope you have fun meeting up with your PT friend! Best wishes and hugs!
