This is Marine105 again. Â I haven’t posted for something like two years, but I just found this site again and remembered how much it helped me out when I was in high school. Â Just wanted to say hi!
I haven’t been coming on here for too long myself, but I have found it helpful as well. It’s comforting for me to see so many other people going through this. It helps me to not feel so alone.
Hi Marine105, It’s the holiday season and that’s a time of year when everyone has depression problems. And yes, it does help to have others admit they feel down too. I’ve been thinking about suicide all weekend, but I have a guardian angel in the form of a siamese cat named Lyra who loves me so much that she keeps me going. And, I am again reminded that I have a right to be angry when other people are thoughtless. I don’t get violent or throw things or hurt anyone, including me. Instead, I mentally cleaned house of all the negative energy others give out. Then today a beloved friend emailed, simply asking how I was, and I smiled again and took my dog Chloe on a two mile walk along a gravel road. Nature is a balm for the aching soul.
PainNlife: yes, I remember him. Seems as a lot of people have left, not surprisingly though. I imagine they may return eventually.
vedura: This notion is true, and I’m glad you have things to hold on to, things that make you happy. Things aren’t as such for me, which is partially the reason I have once again occupied this site. Tell Chloe I say hi!
yup – still here – although been super busy moving the last couple weeks – we’ll see how this all irons out – but so far so good – welcome back marine 🙂
Hey, Marine. I sense I might have communicated with a fellow animal lover. They are so honest and real. If you feed them, they don’t steal from you; they love you. I’ll say ‘hi’ to Chloe for you when she wakes up. I have two cats also, one of which is like a soulmate.
We give our animal companions food and shelter. They give us unconditional love and soothing for our hearts, minds and souls.
I hope you are feeling better soon.

Hey!
Well hello back.
I haven’t been coming on here for too long myself, but I have found it helpful as well. It’s comforting for me to see so many other people going through this. It helps me to not feel so alone.
Glad to hear that you are doing better.
Most of the members you know have probably left the site…Dawg is still around though if you remember him
