I’m having weird emotions lately. There are so many things going on in my life that I often feel very very sad and overwhelmed. Then I feel guilty for being sad and kick myself into a happy mood again. So If we can make this the bi-polar thread, I’m right in there. Hugs to all who needs 'em… ---

Chris, I’ll add you and luna to the list of dopers I have who need hugs or who I’d like to hug. Not tell you which list you’re going in, though 🙂 That’d raise all manner of questions. ---

Well, since you are new here, I thought I would tell you, All affection requests (hugs, kisses, spanking, Jell-o wrestling) all should be posted in the PIT. A moderator can move it there for you. All you have to do is say Uncle Beer, will you please move my thread to the PIT? There, now dont say I never helped ya out. ---

I have legitimate reasons to be depressed and need hugs as well: My maternal grandmother died in January of this year, now my maternal aunt is in the hospital, dying of emphysema. I have a cousin who also is in the hospital, dying of much worse. I barely have any family left, to begin with. I lost my job thirty days ago, not of my own accord, and still have not found another, despite my efforts. I could go on, but the rest would be just whining. The stuff above is what “really” counts. {{{{{{your name here}}}}}} may I please have one in return? ---
