Thanks for being brave and reaching out to us. I will happily do whatever I can to ease your burden, and hopefully you will soon be in the space where you can find yourself some relief.
It’s going to be okay.
It’ll rarely, rarely ever get as bad as you inwardly fear.
You’ll find a way to take the steps you’ll need to take to improve your situation, even if it doesn’t feel like it’s possible right now.
It’s going to be okay.
I’ve been through the ringer once or twice; believe me.
Thoughts from myself and from “my” convent of Clares who have all y’all in their prayers.
I hope things get better for you. If it’s any help, I find that taking a walk helps to clear my mind and recenter my emotions.
Be well
This too shall pass.
Hang in there buddy.
By the way- I’m also 6’8”. Unusual for a turkey…
Sending good thoughts your way.
How are you doing now?
A proverb that has been in common use here, in these trying times:
Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui
Be strong, be brave, be steadfast.

I was wondering also. If you felt something at about 3:30 a.m. Eastern time, that was me.
Best of luck to you, hope things start to look brighter.
Yes. Sicks Ate, hope you’re OK.
May whatever you need to happen, happen.
I hope you feel better, and soon.
Sicks Ate: Please let us know how you’re doing. We’re worried.
Yes. You don’t need to give details; just pop in and say hi.
Or low, as the case may be, and if you want to.
This.
I know that when you’re depressed, responding with even a word or two can feel like a boulder. But we’re thinking of you.
@ Sicks Ate – did you come over to the new boards?
Worried about you, Sicks_Ate
I don’t even know what to say; I’ve started this reply in my head 42 times, and then typed and abandoned another 13.
Just thank you all so much. I didn’t expect this…honestly, when I posted I didn’t expect anything, I was just casting about for something to grab on to. Annnd then I didn’t even follow up. Which I’ll admit was kinda crappy.
RTFirefly got it right. I didn’t even log in after that post. I wish I had at least given you guys a heads-up, seeing this. I appreciate all of your comments so much, I can’t take the time to reply to you all individually just right now, but please, please know that everything is so appreciated. I didn’t know what to expect when I logged back in this evening, but I certainly did not expect to see what I discovered. Typical…caring and witty and funny posts, all the reasons we love this place.
I am fine. I didn’t check on the user name of the person who dropped in to FB to check on me, but particular thanks to that person and anyone who messaged me here.
I can’t say anything more than to thank you all again.
Oh…Isamu, I’m dropping in your DMs
