good poets cry to be heard. nice job

fanastic scene and excelllent:)

I hear you angel. Your words are not falling into the void, but reaching people who care. People who have experienced the blackness of depression, and know the monster lurks. You may believe your pain is unique, and that you are the only one who feels as you do. But it's not. We're out here, and we do understand. Hide in your room when you must, but remember, even hiding under the blankets, you are not truly alone. We hear you.

PS...to those who know me and my writing...I'll work thru this...and be okay...right? I may fall, but I WILL Stand Back Up...It's what I keep telling myself, anyway...Gin

I don't know what to say to you Ginny,I really don't......I don't understand depression, even though I suffer from it. I feel for you with all my heart, I guess that's because I care for you with all my heart....all I can offer is a hand, a shoulder if you need it, a friend to talk to, I am so sorry baby but that is all I can do, I wish I could just hold you, and wash this away, I have probably said to much already, but you know Ginny, you know i'll be here.....always and forever.........Take care my Dear friend.......WAMHASILY

Ginny, I hear you too, loud and clear! Going through some of that myself. This afternoon I spent the day in bed under my covers! Geez! One thing we have to keep in mind that it isn't our fault, or a weakness within that causes depression, but a chemical imbalance in the brain. Our brain chemistry is beyond our control, except in the sense that we can take the correct medication for it. For many years, I resented that I had to take a pill, to feel 'normal', (whatever the hell THAT is)! So I would stop taking my medication, get back in the pits of despair, and wonder why. I finally realized that it is like being a diabetic, in the sense that part of their body doesn't function correctly, so the insulin has to be added from an external source. Same application with us. The medication balances the brain chemistry. Don't despair, and you have my email address, mail me any time you want,or need to! Would love to hear from you! Lots of hugs and good thoughts to you...Leann

Hello, kind lady. I'm reminded of an old saying my late father told me often: From Satchel Paige (Old, Negro league famous pitcher) -- "Don't look back, something might be gaining on you". WINK. PEACE and my best to you and yours, kind soul. TallPockets.

Oh, Ginny! If I could put my 2 cents in... Brain chemistry is affected by many things, and while I won't claim you won't need meds, I do know you can improve things in other ways. Hiding in your room is bad, simply because it keeps you away from stimulation that can erase depression: Light, fresh air, interaction; these things are critical to anyone. It helps to know that much depression is a direct result of frustration (the urge to choke the...LOL!). You're probably being too nice to people, doing things for them that you don't have the time or energy for. Live for yourself first! Then, if you have time, worry about other people, who should really be taking care of themselves!

Check your messages will ya. Just remember there are those (me included) that hurt with you. If there is anything that I can do I will without hesitation. I am/will listen as long as you need. Go ahead and scream that cleansing scream.
