I need all the hugs you can spare.

[catnapper]

Jen, you are a good person and a loving friend. Lisa is missing out on that - its her loss, not yours.

[carole]

Jen I think it is going to be hard to find closure in this situation, because you told us even you donot know the other side of the story, and that is probably partly why you are feeling this hurt so much, maybe in time Lisa will let you know, maybe not, whatever happens we don't need to know her side, because it is YOU Jen that we know and care about, and YOU Jen that we want to offer support and positive thoughts.

None of us know Lisa, but we have all gotten to know you Jen, and the loving person you are, hold your head up high Jen, you are a great person, with an abundance of love to share, keep thinking good thoughts about yourself and try to cheer up ok.

More Hugs coming your way today and everyday.

[slick]

Just checking to see how you are doing Jen. You are still in my thoughts and prayers.

I feel this way exactly. Sure there are two sides, but our concern is Jen and how she feels. We are not here to mediate but to support our friend. She says she does not even know what she did to deserve the hurt - and this is not right. So, whatever the "other side" is - it is not our concern; *Jen* is.
So........for Wednesday....bright red hugs:

Oh Jen., I'm so sorry I've missed this {{{{{HUGS. HUGS. HUGS. HUGS.}}}}}} to a very dear Friend who's hurting.
All my love sweetheart and hope this dark time goes very quickly.
I do hope you see a counsellor and maybe your doctor - when your on the right medication - it helps so much. Please don't think your being weak - 'cos your not - depression is an illness - and it needs the correct treatment.
All your love and caring shine from everything you post - I've always thought of you as a wise, loving and caring lady. xxx

I started feeling so much better today. There was no real reason for it, but it felt good.

I saw my new counsellor for the first time today. I like her. We are going to attempt to work on HOW I can stop blaming myself for everything that happens around me. HOW I can stop thinking I need to be perfect in all things. And HOW to stop dwelling and dwelling on only the negative.

Do you think it will work? I have been like this for a very long time.

I have printed out all you words and hugs and love so whan the next "down" comes, I have you all to lift me up again.

[trayi52]

Jen, anytime you need us, we are here for you. We love you!

Willie

My best friend since Jr. High dropped me like a hot potato several years ago, for no reason I know of. You just have to let them go. I just keep thinking how much I DO have in my life. Like all of you at PT! Hang in there, sweetie!

[wolflady]

Jen, I'm so happy that you're feeling better today!
HUGS!!

You asked if you think it will work, and my response is an enthusiastic YES!
The fact that you are seeking the help of a counselor, if a HUGE step on the road to recovering from depression. I know. I've been there. It's a dark and ugly road sometimes, but when you find the right person (and meds) to help you...it's amazing how...normal...you can feel.

What is it with people named Lisa dropping friendships so easily? The friend I wrote about in my previous post...was a Lisa too!
Oh well, their loss, right?!



**hugs**

Jen, I heard once something that stuck with me.

Oprah said it - Ann Landers said it - Dear Abbey - I honestly don't remember.

But it was this......................

Ruminating about someone over a period of time is just giving them FREE RENT in your head!

More hugs being sent to you today as well.

You know it's funny, but at work I have one wall that's dedicated to animal pictures. I call it my Wall of Fame and right beside it I've posted some pics of the July BBQ attendees. When work gets really stressful I close my door and look at the pics and remember the good time I had and all the Pet Talkers who care about me. It works for me and I pray that the words we have said here will carry you through all your "down" times.

more {{{HUGS}}} on the way.

luv

That was so good to read that you are feeling much better today.
You are worthy Jen. You owe it to yourself to be happy.

Quoted by Jen:
Do you think it will work? I have been like this for a very long time.

Think positive thoughts, Jen and it will work and it also makes it easier when you like your counsellor.

Like I had said before, don't listen to the negative thoughts in your head, focus on the positive things in your life. Your love for Charlie and his love for you. The love you have for your furbabies and the unconditional love they have for you.
The love and support from your PT friends.

We all know you are such a kind, caring, loving person Jen.
No one is perfect. The sooner you ease up on yourself, the sooner it will get easier for you.

Big time (((((HUGS))))) still on the way for you.

Are you getting sore yet from all HUGS. because we aren't going to stop.

[kimlovescats]

Jen, you have made a huge step today .... you have found someone who can help you help yourself! You realize you need help, and you are willing to receive it! You are on your way, girl ... and we are all right here beside you!!!

((((HUGS))))

[lynnestankard]

Jen I'm so pleased you're seeing a counsellor - and will it work - YES. YES. YES!!
You must be painfully honest with yourself - it'll hurt and you'll cry - and come out the other side feeling 'whole'.
And look what I've just found.....................[[[[[[[[[[HUGS. HUGS. HUGS. HUGS. HUGS. HUGS. HUGS.]]]]]]]]]]
Your in my thoughts sweetheart
