Re: Choosing a therapist
In either case, it’s going to be the person who listens to you, looks you in the eye when they speak, and directly answers your questions. No BS! Take care.

Re: Lost
Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your friend. You have gone through many circumstances which most people probably will not; including myself. (Although I have lost a loved one.) So I can’t exactly say that I know what you’re going through. What I do know is that a person would be lucky to h...

Re: The will to live
Everyone faces their own battles each and every day. So you are NOT alone. Please don't think, even for a moment, that you're alone. Even when someone believes they are better, or above, or smarter, or prettier, etc. they're only focusing on what really shouldn't matter. Life is meant to be much dee...

Re: My mother has contacted me not too long ago after a while of not being in contact
I'm sorry that you are reminded of old wounds, when you certainly don't need to be. And, I don't think we need to be reminded that it takes two to make a relationship work. Having said that, in my opinion, your Mom should be in a better position to help you first. Your Mom having had a longer time t...

Re: Why..... that's all I want to know
Have you talked to anyone about how you feel? Have you talked to a therapist? Going through depression that just gets deeper isn’t going to help you or your family. I’ve been there too. But having a family made me realize that I needed to be there for them. There are so many factors that lead to dep...

Re: trouble with my marriage, needing to drink more
So sorry. You have value and purpose just as all of us have. Believe it. It’s true. And don’t allow anyone to tell you otherwise. You know that drinking is a temporary fix, but will only cause more depression and anxiety. Please don’t go there. You and your marriage are worth fighting for. You and y...

Re: life of mine
Although children look up to parents for their needs; not all parents know what it truly means to be a parent or fail to grow up themselves before they become a parent, or maybe too selfish to do so. Regardless of the circumstances, you seem to be a very caring and loving person which tells me you’r...

Re: Toxic relationships
Hi, Katjie, I'm fairly new here, also. Welcome! I'd like to share what I believe to be true. And, again, this is my belief: That we are ALL are somebody. We were ALL created equal. No one, not any one person, is better than another. Again, simply put, we were ALL created the same. We may have a diff...

Re: How to make the climb out of bed when you're battling the demon of depression
I certainly agree with your suggestions. It certainly goes a long way to help get started while making you feel good, too! Having said that, some time ago, I wrote down some goals for myself to accomplish. One included going back to college to finish my degree. I was thinking this was it, this wou...
