Kim, I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well.
I feel bad that I haven't had much time for Pet Talk lately because I have been so busy with other things.
I have not been able to keep up with all the threads here.
I do love your new website and I see you have some new foster kitties too.
Is Iris a keeper? She's my new favorite next to Tabitha of course.
You can PM or e-mail me anytime if you just want to talk.

Kim, I know that I thank God for you. I don't know what I would have done without you during all the hard times that I have had lately. Your friendship has meant so much to me, if there is anyway that I can help you through your hard times, please let me know, you know that I am just a phone call away.

Love and hugs,
Willie

Kim, I hardly know you, and, it doesn't matter. I hope you can make it through whatever life throws your way. I'll be thinking of you and hoping with the support and love of your family, friends, and, furry pals, that you can be strong and see a light at the end of the tunnel. Take care of you, and, as Peter Pan says, think happy thoughts and you can fly! (and, yes, I know I'm a dork for quoting Peter Pan, but, it's true!)

Dear Kim;

I still don't know what exactly had happened, but please know dear friend that I am here for you.

I pray that you get back on your feet soon and start to feel more like yourself.

When I have time, I will read the links that you have in your website so I can get more of a grasp as to what you are going through in regards to your depression and panic attacks.

My hubby also has Type 2 diabetes, so I know somewhat as to what you are dealing with.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way and major ((((((HUGS))))))

Dearest Kim, I hope you can stop by for a brief moment to see all these messages, so that you know you are dearly missed, and very highly thought about, we all care about you and what is happening in your life.

Health issues strike us all from time to time, and it is a vicious cycle unfortunately, when our health is bad we feel down and get depressed, just want you to know Kim we all understand how you must be feeling right now, and remember anytime you wish to chat feel free to PM me too, I always have a sympathetic ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on.

HUGS sweetie and I sure hope you are on top of things again soon, and back to your wonderful cheery and sweet self.Take care, you are in my thoughts .

I would like to encourage ya'll to take a look at the medical pages on Kim's website. She talks about what it is like to live with depressive illness, diabetes and panic disorder - and I think it is very helpful to read about what it is like from someone who deals with these illnesses daily. I have panic myself - which is one symptom of my diagnosis of PTSD (post trauma stress disorder) - mine being a result of a sexual assault and abuse. I also have MDE (major depressive disorder) and have had three episodes that lasted from several months to years. Those who have not had these disorders may find it hard to understand. I am an RN and remember that during my psychiatric rotation - I simply had no real concept of what it was like to be so ill. Now I have been there - and know that it can happen to anyone and is not a weakness or personality flaw.

Also - I am sorry that it tends to be a sad fact that some doctors may want to blame everything that happens to us on our emotions - not so!!! Like, if we have had emotional illnesses - that we can't be plain old sick!!!

That said - I just want to send some encouragement and hugs to (((((Kim))))) Take care my friend and know that we are not going to let you hide in the woodwork forever and are still here even though you may feel very alone and sad... and *may* be full of self-loathing and hopelessness. I am positive that you will come back up from that darkness that seems to consume.

Kim - you are very well loved by so many people on PT. Many of us do not know the right words to say, some may seem to stay away or even criticize - but you also know that the eyes of depression skew the way you look out at the world temporarily. You are also a gentle spirited, sweet and tender person with a great deal of creative energy - which seems to hallmark many who suffer depressions. It is the kindest people who are often hurt the most easily.

OK, more big (((((HUGS)))))

Kim asked me to remind everyone that her account is disabled right now, so she cannot respond to Private Messages or posts. So do not be offended if she isn't replying. She thanks everyone for the well wishes.

We all look forward to a time when she is feeling better, and can get back to normal life again.

So sorry to hear that.

I was just about to try to pm her, then I saw that her pm is disabled and wanted to start a thread to ask about Tabitha's eye.

Healing vibes and wishes of health to Kim.
