[Guest guest]

Trly....don't go. I know we all have to do what we think is best for each one of us. This site is very.....very important to everyone on it. What we are all going through is no cake walk. What we are all going through is extremely serious. Bottom line....................we all need each other. Hang in there.......everyone....hang in there. Try to remember the basics........and don't stop fighting these damn things. I love and care about each and every person on this site. We are all enduring something that is taking it's toll on our bodies and our minds. We haven't found the silver bullet....yet but with all of us working together we will find it. Don't give up dear ones.......don't give up. Rita

Re: Holidays

Frito,Thanks for posting this. Your intent was right on and much appreciated.This is where I'm at right now... Just not experiencing the physically ill aspect... Also just alot of crap happening in the personal life with considerations of "splitting"...Have been thinking about leaving the list for a while to clear my head...I know that's not the answer... but I feel that I can no longer contribute in a "cheerful" or "positive" manner... Head is crammed full of negativity at this point... I don't wish to pass that on to those who are suffering...At the same time, the suffering here also adds to my already "new" pain...I feel each and every one as if it were my own...I haven't stopped crying since I read Ms. M's post this morning... So sad... Bless her heart...So I guess I'll stay and we all can cry together... if you guys can put up with me... It's gonna' be a very long holiday.... Thanksgiving was a total disaster...Ahhhhh! Tis' the Season!Hugs friend,Trly>> I wanted to remind everyone here. The Holiday season is here once again. This is a particularly rough time in which to go through this mite-mare..

Have to say that none of us here are " fairweather friends " .

We all arrived here in dark days.

Received counsel & hope from others & gave the same in turn.

This challenge is unlike any other.

We all know these bugs are incredibly toxic.

The toxic effects extend past the physical into the mental, emotional

& spiritual realms.

It's a very real balancing act to maintain a clear perspective.

Akin to walking a frayed tightrope blindfolded over a heaving ship's

deck in gusty winds while juggling flaming knives during a thundering

downpour.

You may barely be able to hear your own song while you do.

Knowing that gives a headstart in recognizing these varied toxins as

they appear in our minds & our hearts.

It's the mitemare talking - not you - refuse to listen.

The moment one arises, cast it off as the poison it is.

Be on guard always to this.

There is untold strength in holding tight through this challenge to

the true standards of love & friendship & faith.

Crying & ranting can be positive & healing if it clears the decks &

injures no one.

Pain is as much a part of life as is joy. Sharing is necessary.

Rally your spirit & believe a brighter day will dawn.

And keep singing your unique song in the face of those searing winds.

We need you.

Best wishes, Sue

I wanted to remind everyone here. The Holiday season is here once

again. This is a particularly rough time in which to go through this

mite-mare.. It intensifies the depression and frustration that comes

with it.

Last christmas, I was so broke from this hell and so sick that I

didn't even put up one decoration. No church, no tree, no presents,

no family, no food, no shopping, no friends. It was the worst time

of my life. Then I became so sick that I lost my job on top of it

all. I remember at the time feeling even isolated from the group

because it was so bad for me and nobody seemed to be doing as bad as

I was. There was one that knew where I was headed. It is because of

that emotional support he lent me in which I eventually got through

that dark time and on the road to recovery. It was then that this

group became my connection and motivation. I don't know why I am

telling you all this, except for the hope that there very well maybe

someone in that position of which I was last year, and I would not

like to forget what I so needed then from this group. And to that

one person, SOM, I am eternally grateful.

This is a wonderful group. Lets not forget what the holiday season

can do to tear down a person in which everything is not all right and

the isolation that comes with it.

.....with good intent.....Frito

Dear darling Trly

I totally agree with everything Sue said, (sue you should write a book,

you have a real way with words

Trly, you seem like you are at a cross roads, you've gotten rid of

these mites, yet you know there is something more going on....so

instead of feeling elation at being free of bugs for the holiday

season, you are feeling down in the dumps! Which is exactly the way

the adversary wants you to feel!

He doesnt want you to have hope, and joy.....so fight for those things

my friend....because they are yours for the taking! You have earned

them!

what ever this condition is, it effects us on ever single level.

It even attacks the soul, and our spiritual core. Making us feel

hopeless. So take back your courage, and your hope, and Hang in there!

We all love you on this board!

Wow, Z -

You also have a great way with words! I've seen some amazing writing

on this forum in the last couple of days. From the depths of the

darkest pain and fear, to the noblest and highest we can attain.

Maybe that's really what this is about?
