Are you ok? You sound like you may have taken too much medication? You sound confused? I'm horribly ill, my judgement isn't great but this post worries me, am I the only one? Am I not reading this correctly or are you in need of help RIGHT THIS SECOND?! PLEASE RESPOND!

Well thank goodness. If u ever get like that I wish I knew if u had ANYONE to text, call, see? If not, I wish I knew you and would love for you to feel that you're not alone. Believe me, ALL OF US FEELS THIS WAY AT TIMES. Please don't EVER ACT ON THAT FEELING, CALL, TEXT, VISIT ANYONE WHO RELATES! I been way too many times but NEVER AGAIN! So glad you're doing better. Keep trying, you will stop feeling so hopeless. May you stay blessed and keep working to feel more than just sick, pain emotional and physical. If I can do this, anyone can! <3

Hi!

Just checking on you today....how are you? Idk where u live but I forget a lot. Please know that I'm gonna try to keep up with you. I don't want you to feel alone and it's very easy to find ourselves feeling that way. I will remind you, daily, if I remember to take the med I need to not forget, that I am here. I care. Please believe that. Send me a message, private or not. I just know what you are feeling, somewhat as I've been there but I am not you. That being said, maybe just text with me or someone you trust. Try not to be alone with your thoughts if you're thinking isn't positive. Like I said I should be dead, according to my Dr's. I CHANGED MY NEGATIVE THOUGHTS INTO POSITIVE THOUGHTS! This is hard to do, very hard when u feel alone and ill. I would love for you to know the peace I have (most days) with just looking at life in a positive way. I've been overwhelmed with love and support I never knew I had. Yes, therapists are right!!! (Bob Marley too). Yes, someone I did not know at all was suicidal and I had no idea what to say to them. My Daughter kept telling me to text this person,"say this Mom", Bob Marley quotes. Well, I thought "damn, my Daughter is so spiritual!" No, she's smart. Bob Marley quotes helped this person. We saved a life just being positive and, i found out later, quoting Bob Marley. Positivity always wins! Hope you are doing better today. Hope to hear from you?
