I Could Use Your Thoughts and Prayers

[PatsBoy12]

Wondering if anyone has been keeping in touch with @PatsBoy12?

He started this thread a couple of months ago, so we're all obviously hoping that some of that darkness has been lifted.

Glad to see that @Kenneth Sims is hanging in there, as well as all of the posters who may be struggling with a personal issue (or two...or three).

I am here still trying to make sense of things and move forward. I will report back to the thread. My responses here have been sparse because talking about sometimes seems to do me more harm than good. But I will be back to report on things in a day or so. I really want to try to enjoy today's football after a pretty tough Saturday (yesterday).

I have been reading the thread almost daily (I never miss two days in a row). I can't say enough how immense you all have been to me, and I know there are many who can echo that. Thank you for hanging in there with those of us on our last big of strength. @Kenneth Sims and I still communicate. I appreciate you, Kenneth.

The last few days have been depressing ****. Don't really have any energy or desire to do anything except curl up in a ball and sleep. This non-stop rainfall doesn't help lighten the mood either. Thank God for Jessica Jones and Star Wars to help pass the time.

I just drink heavily.

That's a useful thing to know about oneself, I definitely have the same experience. Thinking and talking about what is depressing is about as useful, if the goal is to make you less depressed, as thinking about what is making you horny, if the goal is to be less horny.

Just checking in to say hello and let my friends know I'm doing fine.

Yesterday was my ex's 49th birthday. A year ago on her birthday I gave her as one of her gifts a VIP membership on the Karoake site where she met her Englishman.

The day wasn't overly emotional for me. I think that's a sign I'm starting to deal with this a whole lot better than when I first posted on this thread.

Thank you my friends. I am grateful.

Ken, stay well and stay strong.

Time, as has been mentionned many times, is your ally. Dwelling on "special days" of a calendar aren't. You are in for some good days - you must just be patient and trust that they are coming your way.

Ken and PB12... you men are THE MEN. Have a great weekend.

I very strongly agree.

So impressed with these two gentlemen, who still have time to help and be thoughtful towards others when they themselves are in need.

Yeah, no kidding. I was going to suggest on the main board that we all convene over here for a few hours; it just seemed to fit. (But I didn't want to make light of what you and others have been going through, so I didn't.)

 

[ralmat55]

I would have taken it in the humor it was intended and gotten a good laugh out if it. If they lose Sunday, people will be jumping off bandwagons and bridges[emoji6]

Keep hanging in there, fellas, and we'll all do the same. The holidays can be very challenging for those who have lost loved ones, particularly when there hasn't been much time that's passed yet.

On top of that, there's a lot of pressure that comes with the media's portrayal of what "should" be the normal/perfect type of holiday. Commercials, movies, etc. It's ********, and while some may get to enjoy these moments of perfection, there are many others who will need to find some inner strength because they are finding other ways to try and either make their own merry, or just get through a rough patch.

Unfortunately, depression, anxiety, grief and health issues do not realize that it's Christmas time. Those issues do not take any days off.

Yeah, the holidays are that time of year. My father-in-law died recently, and she's gotta handle it on her own, unfortunately, but she's doing it.

Find cheer where you are. It's there if you look for it.

How is everyone doing?

 

[Wordsmyth]

Much better. Thanks, dudes!

I am doing well. Really beginning to enjoy my freedom. Exchanged messages with PB12 earlier this week. Thank you for asking.

I don't post much, but I've been a member of the board for a while. Ken and PB12, hang in there. This too shall pass. I'll send good thoughts your way.
