From Sean, survive75, a message of hope in my time of need.

...I was able to stop short of actually going through with it.

I feel good. Scared, but good.

Thanks,

Joe

Hey, these Russian's are getting philosophical here this time it's Leosha.

I maybe disagree with one person's view. They maybe disagree with mine. Does that disagreement make one opinion more valid then the other? No, of course not. It means we are different, unique individuals, who come from different backgrounds, who have had different experiences, and who hold different points of view.

Beezer, you speak the truth here....

Depression is bad, but Re-pression is worse. You are doing something about it, be glad,

markgreyblue posted the following in the Member's forum (I asked permission to put it here). He and I must be going through pretty much the same thing, because I felt pretty low yesterday. I'm working through the whole self-esteem issue thing with my therapist, and how I really don't love myself all that much.

something someone
once said to me - a short while ago inspired me to love myself with all the stuff that makes me feel ....special and ok !

i had been so hard trying to love someone else for them to give me that feeling - when i realized it's not gonna ...most likely

well so i am in this space of mine - gotta treat myself like
royalty ehh?

as if i were the man i was loving - instead of someone else - sounds weird maybe - but maybe not -

No, Mark, not weird at all. We do so much for others, it's time to listen to other people and do for ourselves. Because we're worth it, you, I, everyone here.

Thanks, my dear brother, for reminding me.

Peace and love,

From the "what would you say" topic, cogito said this-

I wonder if you'd do what you did if you knew what I know now.

Well said, it says it all.

Where else can you be around just other guys & say, "I was raped by my Dad when I was 8 yrs old", And have people validate, console, listen, believe & offer all positive support, in stead of trying to leave, ignore, condemn, blame & hate you, the victim, just for being the victim.

Thank you Blacken, where else indeed?

at first intimacy feels so fresh and new it is very powerful, but take care of it. it is easy to loose.

Phoster, ain't that the truth?

When, finally, those chains of shame and guilt are dismantled, children and adults will be liberated.

Posted by Brayton. I do hope it happens in my lifetime. I hope we can all play a part in that,

Scot says:

Figured I'd just say it to myself. I'm worth it!

Damn right!

 

[Lloydy]

Scot must be in a more positive mood than he thought.
Dave

When the time allows, or circumstance, I get up with a frigging smile.

Positiveness will win the day. At least it will confound the @$$holes.

Peace and love,

This is a really excellent quote by JLHope,

OK who ever stole the sun just put it back and we wont file charges.

 

[Lloydy]

All the way from Christchurch, New Zealand, GS is gonna kick some ass!

Almost straight away I decided that if this was in any way holding me back from being completely happy in all aspects of my life then I was going to take my problems , and kick their ass right out the door because I AM going to be happy. I am going to find someone to make me happy and make my life complete.
End of story!!!!!

Go for it!

From Andrei's grandfather:

And help me to complete with dignity the journey you have given to me.

I hope that this journey of healing I am on, I can complete it with dignity as well.

Aden said something we might not wish to hear, but it's the truth.

In the end, Id rather be me than him. This doesnt explain it or make it right. It is just the way it is.

'Who would I have been' is a question I can not answer. Who can I be? The best me I can be NOW.
