Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 All I can say is that you have touched many lives here. From sharing your personal trials and offering advice and just plain old support and friendship. To me you are a human being with some faults like all of us, but also one with a big heart that understands and cares for others. That is who you are to me. You are a part of this website in such a way that we will all miss you and think of you. I just hope that where ever you are going that you will be able to make the best of it and work towards getting life on track someday. You deserve the best in life no matter what wrongs you may have done here and there. Ain't nobody perfect . We have seen the very deepest parts of you through your posts. That may be a part that others do not see. So, in that sense, we know who you are better than most folks do. love ya, to a friend, Debra V.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 , , , Who are you to us? You are one who's been there and done that, as many of us have. You are one who experiences life's rejections and is able to give them voice and recognition. You are one who experiences full in the face non-preferential treatment, something I have also done. I understand how you feel. Sometimes I too don't see much when it comes to people realizing what I have to say. We come here because we have a series of common enemies. They are doctors who don't hear. People who don't want to understand. Families struggling to see. Pain we cannot explain. Fear we cannot give voice. A health care system that is beyond simple or eternally caring. A government that makes decisions based on fallible reasoning in regard to SSI or SSD. Truly, I do see where you are coming from. You are a beacon of understanding. You are a friend amidst so many who simply claim to be. I may not have known you long, but this is what you are to me. A.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have only been here a couple of weeks but for me you bring humor into a life that is full of pain and exhaustion and sometimes feels worthless. BUT the encouragement that I have gained just for me being here has been so wonderful. on the days when I get up and think I cant make it today , you will have sent something through to give me a smile. For that I thank you dear new friend. And I am praying that as you go through this you will find the encouragement you need and the will to keep on going.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm sure you make a big difference in your daughter's life. You sound suicidal. I hope I'm wrong, as it's too late to do anything about it by now. Jeanne in WI What difference have I made in anyones life?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 > What difference have I made in anyones life? , I struggle a bit with this myself. I'm on disability, have been since 2005, and 32 years of busting a$$ to build a career seems sometimes like it's gone. I feel sometimes like I'm useless. The catch in that kind of thinking is that we have a *right* to be on the planet, and pursuing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, even if we're disabled, or living in a trailer in our mom's yard. Our right to exist and breathe our portion of air doesn't depend on the amount of taxes we pay or what we accomplish in any given day. If it did, there would be a whole lot of rich/famous people who are SOL. ;D ;D There is an interconnectedness between people that we can't even comprehend or decipher. Pull someone out of the mix and it's like dominoes. How have you helped me personally? Watching you, a guy recovering from addiction, basically homeless. When I read your posts, I see hope that even a guy who has hit bottom can make incredible progress toward recovery. You and I are different as any two people could be, but we share a bond of pain that we have trouble controlling. We probably also share a bond in a long history of depression. You hear me? I draw hope from you. You help me get through the bad days and the bad flares. When I am in a bad flare and can't do much besides lie on my bed, one of the people I think about is you. If you can make it through the bad times, as you always have, so can I. You mentioned that you'd gone off your antidepressant. If you are in a crisis, you have done very well to reach out to this group. Now I hope that you will reach out to your medical support, and get back on your meds, go to a meeting if you can or call someone from your addiction support groups. Just in your posts, you have taken a bit step toward turning things around. You have asked for support, and people have responded. The next step is up to you to make phone calls to your medical and " on-site " support people. You have made it through bad spots before. You can make it through this one too. Through this group, your addiction recovery, and your medical support people, you have assembled a toolbox of things to do to help you get through it. Whether or not you realize that you did it, you pulled a tool out of that toolbox and used it, by posting to this group. Keep going. You can and will do this.
