Thought I'd check in and see how everyone's doing. Great to hear that Kenneth Sims, Wordsmyth and Patsboy are keeping it together.

I've been spending much of the last six months trying to help my son deal with depression; it's one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. Especially at the beginning, it was like an alien being had latched onto his brain and taken it over. Would take me a few hours to get a glimpse of the boy I knew and loved. After working on it all summer, he's back to around 80% of where he was, and seems ready to face life's challenges again. This has made me even more aware of how difficult it is. You guys have my admiration for grinding through it every day. It's hard as hell. Please keep going.

I'm finding it astonishing just how many people are affected by this in my conversations with others.

I think many people suffering from depression aren't aware of it because they never have known any different. They instinctively build coping mechanisms around it to maintain baseline functionality.

Especially if your depression starts at a very early age.

Going through a rough patch?
 
I could use some positive thoughts. I had pneumonia on July 4th, put in the hospital. After 7 days in the hospital, I went to rehab for 10 days. I was out 1/2 and day and put back in the hospital for 6 days. After that, I was sick at home. Here it is early September I am back in the hospital been here for 10 days looking to move to a rehab in a few days. I need some Pats victories. No Pats TV available for 1 and 4:20 games. I will be thinking of you gals and guys rooting the team. Go Pats

Wow, that's unreal. Definitely wishing you the best...I'm guessing it feels like a lifetime since you've felt normal because that's an unbelievable amount of time to be sick. Take it easy, do everything you're supposed to do, don't over-do it and really hope you feel better soon

You got WIFI?

Reddit NFL Streams. Its free, but you have to shop around for the best link. During commericials it goes balnk and sometimes it buffers and freezes up so you have to back out and load again. Just borrow a tablet or laptop or better yet hook up to a TV.

Stop back here game night and I will try to find a good link for you to watch.

Thank you. I have never had success with Streaming. I will get game 1 on TV.

Could use some prayer today. Woke up extremely depressed and a trifle anxious. Don't really know why.
Sent. hope it gets better.
 
The last few days have sucked ass. A few days a month, I wrestle with a lot of dark, depressing thoughts, and a smile seldom crosses my face. I've almost forgotten what joy and happiness are.

Damn sad to hear man. My inbox is up for you if I can do anything to help or just listen.

I wish I knew what worked because I'd use it on my kid. I found that if I talked to him for a few hours, I could wear down the darkness and get him to crawl out the other side. Don't think it was anything I said, just more being there and waiting out the bad feels with him. Would be happy to wait it out with you, seems it eventually goes away again.
 
It's a daily wrestling match. Sometimes you conquer.
