That's a great suggestion Dean! Every single time I do a volunteer thing, or help the seniors down the road with yard work I feel like a valuable human afterwards. Good one!

hey there say, Avery... i am late... have not been on line...
but say, you are in my prayers, as with all you folks...
say, i have not read the first post, yet, but i did see the last one, from
crrimper... and thankful to god, you are with safe folks...
say, i will share more with you, when i read the first one, and will
also, email you... i have been working outside all day, and have to
help an older friend, but i am in your corner...
will be back soon, and share some things that i hope, too, will help...
you are very important to those around you, but, even when you feel alone:
you are important to yourself... i have learned, that from when i was alone for a long time, that i was actually 'my own best friend'... we learn that, when we learn to like ourselves... just for who we are, not for any other reason... i was thankful to learn that JUST before i was an adult, so it did make life so much easier, in the hard strange times, along the way... times when things did not seem to be right, etc, in our life...
hang in there...
god bless, and pray...

One step at a time. Times can be dark but typically there are things that happen unexpectedly that make it all well worth it. Plus many of us really dig your work. I actually follow the threads you start and I do not follow many threads on this forum. I have not dealt with this in a while but I can say there have been some periods in my life where when I look back I wonder how I made it to where I am.

The will to live
Avery, attrition of the will to live while bearing the weight of living can sneak up on anyone. Good to hear your fighting. Reminds me to look outside the tunnel.

Hi P,
I just read through this whole thread and, like Crimpie, I had to wipe the tears from my eyes when I saw your second post about being safe.
Like many on ST, I've been where you are. I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (which translates to severe depression) and there were a couple winters in Alaska when I didn't know how I'd make it to the next day, much less to spring and the sunshine.
But I did.
I'm looking at that awesome guidebook you sent me...and I'm thinking you have many, many more springs in you, too.
Keep your face towards the light, my friend. Your life matters.
