Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 Sheena you are a gem. So beautiful a story... I didn't need to cry but I am anyway! *HUGS* Love A. ___________________________________ *Medical Resources and Support*http://www.elderwyn.com/medicallinks *Aisha Elderwyn*http://www.elderwyn.com/aisha crying Hi All...If sometimes you get dsown and are afraid to show your feelingsand even cry...read the following...sheena :)She Told Me It Was Okay to Cry I saw her last night for the first time in years. She wasmiserable. She had bleached her hair, trying to hide its true color, just as her rough front hid herdeep unhappiness. She needed to talk, so we went for a walk. While I thought about myfuture, the college applications that had recently arrived, she thought about her past,the home she had recently left. Then she spoke. She told me about her love -- and Isaw a dependent relationship with a dominating man. She told me about the drugs --and I saw that they were her escape. She told me about her goals -- and I sawunrealistic material dreams. She told me she needed a friend -- and I saw hope, because at leastI could give her that. We had met in the second grade. She was missing a tooth, I wasmissing my friends. I had just moved across the continent to find cold metal swings andcold smirking faces outside the foreboding doors of P.S. 174, my new school. I askedher if I could see her Archie comic book, even though I didn't really like comics; she saidyes, even though she didn't really like to share. Maybe we were both looking for asmile. And we found it. We found someone to giggle with late at night, someone to slurp hotchocolate with on the cold winter days when school was canceled and we would sit togetherby the bay window, watching the snow endlessly falling. In the summer, at the pool, I got stung by a bee. She held my handand told me that she was there and that it was okay to cry -- so I did. In the fall, weraked the leaves into piles and took turns jumping, never afraid because we knew that themulticolored bed would break our fall. Only now, she had fallen and there was no one to catch her. Wehadn't spoken in months, we hadn't seen each other in years. I had moved toCalifornia, she had moved out of the house. Our experiences were miles apart, making ourhearts much father away from each other than the continent she had just traversed. Throughher words I was alienated, but through her eyes I felt her yearning. She neededsupport in her search for strength and a new start. She needed my friendship now more thanever. So I took her hand and told her that I was there and that it was okay to cry -- soshe did.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 Crying "when I was just diagnosed with diabetes, I tried to cry when I was alone but no tear came out (snip) my mum was with me, and I was trying very hard to fight back my tears, as I really do not want to upset my mum. I felt even more terrible when the doc asked me in a very concerned voice," Are you ok?" I tried so hard not to just burst out and cry but force a faint smile"Hi Ling,Why didnt you cry? Have you cried since? Does anyone else have a problem not being able to cry?? I don't know... probably too shocked and scared to cry.I remember, maybe I did manage to cry when I was alone in the bathroom. I just kept telling myself," I am only 21... with that years to come, it will only be a matter of time I have kidney problems." Also, I really do not wish to cry in front of my mum, it will only make her feel bad, thinking that I had inherited it from her, hope you get what I mean? Its not a weakness its a strength. Thanks, that really helped. Ling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 . Suicide is NOT the answer ever hon, it only leaves behind people who love you and is not fair to them. When I lived in England, a suicide was labeled by the coroner as 'suicide whille the balance of the mind is disturbed' this is true, if we feel we are going to take our life we are not thinking straight, that is the time to get a cold drink, call a friend and talk, or talk to the 'crisis helpline', take a walk and the feeling will subside, nature is a great healer and you can work through this rough time I am sure, and Lee is right, keep hammering at your doctor for anti-depressant that work for you.One time I thought my problems were insurmountable, I took a plethora of drugs, woke up in the hospital having my stomach pumped, very weak and dazed , I thanked those who would not let me die, I really did not want to kill myself I guess, it was just a desperate move and I would have missed a lot of life, a lot of sunrises, blue skies, flowers, grandchildren and the like, now I am depressed once more over family trials, but suicide will never rear its ugly head again and I will work through this We all love you , do not give up EVER! And you know what, no kid ever is completely satisfied with his-her parents! You do your best and you know it and so will they one day when sense sets in their brains!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 I went to the funeral for a 17 year old boy who hung himself today. I realized that it did not take courage for him to kill himself. It was his fear. His fear of telling people how much pain he felt. His fear of rejection and of being able to find help. His fear of continuing to live in that deep pain. You said, "i hate life RIGHT NOW". That "RIGHT NOW" part is what you need to remember. Life has ups and downs. It's okay to feel down. Life will come back up again, it always does. Just as sure as the sun rises and sets, life comes back up.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 , I agree with Lee. I lost my Grandfather to suicide when I was 8, my brother was 1. My brother will never realize how great of a man his grandfather was, to him, he was a coward. My Grandpa got himself in too deep, and was found to be embezzling at his job. Depression runs very deeply in my family, and I have attempted suicide when I was younger. I don't now, because no matter how bad my depression hits, it will subside. I will not hurt my family the way my grandfather hurt us, I just can't do that to them. You cannot say that everyone hates you, you know that isn't true! I don't know what exactly happened with someone else on this list, that kind of shocked me really. I've always known this list to be different, but that just proves that we're all human. If you need help, don't leave the list because of one person. I certainly wouldn't leave my family because my cousin calls me a name (which she does all the time!) I try to realize that everyone has their problems, and sometimes we say things that we don't mean. When I've talked to you in the chatroom, you always seem very willing to talk openly about how you feel, and that is good. If you are really feeling that life is just not worth living, first let me tell you that my world would be empty without every single one of my friends, and every single one of you on this list. Second, you should see a doctor (I hear you all moan) to find some help. If anti-depressants don't help, keep going through them, you'll find one that works for you. Hang in there, it is always darkest before the dawn. We love you Hugs, crying rightt now I cant help but cry. everyone hatess me. and withh thiss problem camme back all the terrible feelingss of the lasst few yearss of suicidee. pluss to makee thingss worsee, something I donnt talkk aboutt the whole reasons this all started was becausee someone threatened suicidee, and i lostt my fiancee to suicide 3 monnths ago so I freaked. i hate life rightht noww sandra ~~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~~ The Being Sick Community Visual problems with colors?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 This was what I was afraid of... in the last days and throws of their campaign. P & G SAYS they exceded their goal. Prayers for the 45 million plus recipients of these deadly neonatal tetanus vaccines. May the gods save us from P & G, Unicef, and all the other vaccinati demons. No further need to sign the petition. Results will go out to the targets, none the less. This is not a Glad Day, but a dark one. ~ Karla in IL http://www.pampers.com/en_US/unicef_homepage.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
