Yes right on, it does help to read other posts, we see we are Not alone, there is some good information out there and we can apply it to our own lives. So people keep writing to us, we can support and help each other and know we are Not alone, that alone feeling is awful.

I read there are approx 20 million in the US suffering from depression, 30 million with anxiety, what a lot of pain!!! We need to believe in ourselves, not always easy to do, and love ourselves, also not always easy to do, but they are a big help and self support in square 1, square 2 is reaching out for help which can be a challenge. I know as I have suffered on and off all my life, I am 77 and coming out of a 3 year battle. I have a wonderful therapist and do volunteer work at our local library, I love books, we also have DVD's, talking books, etc., I take our 6 DVD's for a week at no cost, they give my tired mind a rest.

All who read this post, take heart, we will offer you support and love, I give out a lot of love and get so much love and support in return. Have a super day, find joy and pleasure in whatever you do. I send you love, strength, peace and big hugs....Sprinkle 1....
