Thankyou

[lonote]

I want to thank my friends out here reguarding the death of my kids father.
I'm really struggling with my addiction. I'm off Suboxone, and tempted to use.
But,,, theres nothing around. Thank God. Again friends thanks for expressing
your condolences. Sorry I don't get out here too often anymore. I'm just depressed.
I can remember when I was so excited about getting off the shyt. I think I
need some therapy. I know I need to look into it. love ya all bunches!!

i'm new here so i don't know you, but i hope you get to feeling better soon. just try and stay clean one day at a time. and honor your sadness....sit and experience it for a few days if you have to...shoot...for a few weeks.

i'm not trying to diminish what you are going through, and i don't know your entire story so i won't pretend to know what you need.

given that, i think our society has somehow over the years gotten the message that we should never feel any discomfort, any grief, any depression, etc EVER. this is totally not a realistic mindset...we are human, and we are going to suffer at times, and we should expect to do so. we are being fed lies by the pharmaceutical companies, the media, etc about how our feelings should be - that no one should ever have any sadness or negative feelings..... like they know exactly what we need.

well...they want our money. but i think talking with someone should help. if you don't feel better in a month or two you may consider meds for depression. but try everything before you do. exercise and being around positive people is the best thing for me. oh, and funny movies :)

Of course, sweetie, you are welcome.  Do you realize how much you have been there for others over these months?  You have helped so many of us to laugh, cry, feel.   I know its hard to say goodbye to a loved one and even harder when you see your child hurting.  You are a strong woman and a very compassionate person.  Your children are blessed to have you.  So, take good care of yourself and stay healthy so you will be around for many years to come.............

Thanks sweetheart. It was, is a huge loss for all of us. I'm doing my darndest
to be strong. All responses help me out too. Its just nice to know theres support
out here. People that don't really know eachother, except what we all have in common
I feel the love and caring. Today is a better day. I gave myself permission to
take a rest from the grief. It will be okay.   Cathy
