I am sorry if it seemed that i was using this group to monitor my suicidal

tendencies, that was not my intent and i apologize. i was venting. measures

have been taken by my dear husband to " Chelsea-proof " the house and i not longer

have Chelsea,

Dear Chelsea

Never, Never apologize to me as I can relate to what you are feeling as I said

and you can e-mail me privately any time.

I never meant you have to Chelsea proof your house and e-mail is so blunt and

stiff and I want to let you know I did not take it but anything but venting but

I wanted you to know you are worthwhile and it is so hard when we are beaten

down by pain to take the high road.

I used to have the highest pain tolerance and it is very humbling and was

humiliating to my family to not be the " strong one " anymore and I had to deal

with such " useless phrases " from those who told me I just needed the willpower.

That is the worst thing to say to someone in severe pain. I do not have a close

friend as you do and all my friends left when I could no longer do for them, and

I truly found the users and those who can't deal with a friend with adversity

and I was always there for them (like you say you were for your friend).

Don't worry about me and you just flash that venting e-mail to me anytime as it

gives me a purpose in life to assist others and if I have said anything to

encourage you, it has given me a blessing and I appreciate the opportunity to do

so.
