I need all the hugs you can spare.

[carole]

Those were wonderful things to send Jen, I sure hope they helped you Jen, very inspirational thoughts, How are you today Jen? more hugs and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

I hope your heavy heart heals soon, and you will gradually begin to see clearer and understand how important you are to everyone here on PT, and that YOU really matter to us, Take care Jen.

[Randi]

Sorry I'm late Jen. I'm sending more hugs and hope you'll keep feeling better! Talking about your problems and how it hurts, will help a lot - at least that's my experience. Please don't be too hard on yourself - you're a fine person and very loved!

Positive vibes coming your way.

[catmandu]

Hope things are looking brighter in your neck of the woods.

I have been, shall I say......stable. No serious depression, but no real pleasurable days though, either. I can't understand why I am dwelling on this THING! GGRRRRR. it actually makes me mad to think how much this is affecting me.
I tried (as a first step to liking myself) to come up with a list of my good traits.......but I could only come up with 2 Guess it is time to read back over all your comments and take notes

[AmberLee]

Let's see ...

Loving

Dependable

Thoughtful

Determined (I do believe if you thought a cat was being abused, you'd storm the abuser's home and not take NO for an answer...)

Funny

Sweet

Generous

Creative

Friendly

Honest

Okay, it's only ten, but that's just what I've known you to exhibit here online. Maybe some of the others can chime in, too.

for starters...

Pretty

Caring

Lovable

A wealth of knowledge when it comes to caring for kitties

An excellent Meowmie and Foster Meowmie

[BastetsMum]

Many hugs, and shoulder to cry on (my shoulders are very big) and kitty licks and purrs from Bastet.

Suffering as I do from bipolar - the most important lesson parted on me was - its ok to feel the way you do. Just don't beat yourself up over it because you will move on. This is just a hiccup on your journey.

You have much love in your life and many people care for your health and wellbeing. Change can be scary but sometimes in the long run a very good thing to happen.

You will be ok - I know it doesn't seem like that now but you are a very strong person.

HUGS

You could only come up with 2 things you liked about yourself?Now come on.Think about you..and ONLY you.OK??
I can come up with so many things I like about ME and NOONE likes me.LOL..Just wanted to make you laugh.But seriously..Just think of you..no other people..then you'll come up with lots of things that you love about yourself.Don't let others make you think differently.That can damage your spirit.People do that to other people sometimes to make themselves feel better .

I agree. As long as YOU know you're a good person and you believe in yourself, it makes no difference what others think of you. Only YOU can control how others control you and your feelings. You can let them totally devastate you or you can blow them off and say that they are not even worth your time to dwell on them. THEY are the one with the problem and YOU need to not worry about THEIR problem. All you need to do is worry about YOU.

Don't know if I really said that right, but I hope you get what I'm trying to say. I also saw an article in a magazine that made me think of you, Jen, and what you're going through. I will try and see if I can find it online. Otherwise I'll see what I can do to get it to you somehow.

Chin up, girl. You're a wonderful, caring person and don't EVER let anybody EVER tell you any less.

[carole]

I want to add to the list Jen. YOU ARE

Helpful, ( I alway remember it was YOU who helped me out when I first joined PT, I was having difficulty with something or another)

Reponsible, there is no denying that now is there Jen?

Open and Honest, no need to explain this one.

YOU are all the things above and all the things everyone else has mentioned, I admire your rescue work, the love you bestow on others and the kitties, the fact that when you believe in something , you stick by your beliefs, all in all Jen you are DA BOMB girl.!!!!! CHEER UP and keep thinking positive thoughts, you never know they might actually sink in lol.

[jenluckenbach]

I did not mean this to become a compliment (ME) thread. hee hee. But thanks a million! I hope someday I can repay each and every one of you for your kindness and support.
