Thanks so much for responding.

I haven't been doing this long as I told you before, but i know this gives me hope. I did a couple of things today I haven't been able to do, such as some forms I needed to fill out for the insurance and getting something in the mail.

I wonder why I can't seem to get things mailed out?

I don't know if everyone gets "hope" or gets cured from this. All I know it is helping me, so I will continue to visit here often, read the forums, work my steps and do the things I "can" do, and a few things I didn't think I could do which is really remarkable.

My wish is you will do those things your mind can't rap around today. When I told my son I walked around the neighborhood but hated every minute of it, he said...Just walk, you don't have to enjoy it.

Wow, he was so right. I picked up trash in the neighborhood today. It gave me my lesson number 3, light therapy, my lesson number 2. For my lesson number 1, I ate an salmon wrap (i usually hate fish) in the sun and actually enjoyed it.

Those are big accomplishments from where I came. I couldn't even get out of bed a week or so ago. I am happy you are catching yourself before you go into the abyss. It looks like you may be working, but remember, you don't have to like it, just do it. Keep your mind open to new ideas, take help that is offered to you, and first but foremost, be yourself. You certainly have the looks for becoming famous, you are just having to work on your mind now.

Your friend,
Pam

Shad, I too was just a bit hopeful when I arrived to this site after 7 months of terrifying depression. I am doing the program, as close as I am capable and after about 6 days, I am better already! I am not cured, but I am celebrating the little steps I made to see some improvements and give me a bit more hope.

Just seeing you here has brightened my outlook, just a little more. Giving me a chance to connect with you and encourage something I feel so strong about.

I am writing you after just getting a new cat, so I could fall way low tomorrow, but tonight, I have no pain in my chest, still a bit uncomfortable though. I am writing a blog instead of journaling. I was just trying to go there to write about why that doesn't work for me. I It is just like, if you see something that doesn't work for you, then adjust it to your own personal program.

This program didn't say I needed to get a cat
but I made that adjustment myself, and for that I pat myself on the back.

I felt your positive energy of hope you have in this program. This same hope I had that was so slight, but it was ALL I HAD at the time.

I have faith you will make it. I can see more hope in you than I had in the beginning, and if hope is all it takes, maybe we are going to make it to the top of that hill.

I have got to learn to not be so wordy, catch me on a bad day, no words, just despair. If you would like to read the blog I started you are welcomed to.

It is just more of the same of this, and with our age difference, you may be bored to tears.
