Re: Duck! WoW sorry to hear THAT

[Guest guest]

I just read your post, and am sorry u feel that way, as I just joined a

couple weeks ago to I have not witnessed but what I believe was 1 upset between

a few. I love coming on everyday, no matter how tired, pained etc. I am feeling

which has been forever now, I love reading most of the post, as I find alot of

compassion from others, ideas on maybe trying something that has not been tried

yet, or a word of encouragement to hang on and keep up the fight without letting

depression win the battle. Again being new also, I hope you to continue to stay

and find all the loving post that are posted.
