Re: Long, comforting hug, perhaps with milk and cookie
I could really use one of these hugs today. Yesterday, my husband was working on our television and our cat was being a cat. Rubbing against his legs, getting behind the television. My husband was getting frustrated with the cat. I saw him go to kick the cat and yelled out "don't kick him!"...

Re: Thank you.
Hi Hobojungle! I'm 50 years old and can relate to your need to organize your home. I have a suggestion. Have you found "Fly Lady"? Her motto is "you can do anything in 15 minutes", and she has a great website explaining how you can get organized, and clean your home! When I get d...

A "New" Condition
I was wondering if perhaps a new "condition" could be added here. I don't know what to call it....perhaps Champions of Suicide or something like that. What I am searching for is to talk with others who have survived a suicide attempt on themselves. Searching for Suicide Survivors usually b...

Re: Help (podcast help that is)
Hi Libertas, I don't think you have received an answer, so I'm going to try to help. I only have an iPod Touch 5th Generation, but it should still be similar enough to get you to the right place. First: Is there an icon for Podcasts? On my iPod it is purple. You should be able to touch that and it w...

Re: They have decided to "let go"
Thank you so much for your replies. I still cry over this and have discussed it with my Therapist. I have recently been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, so of course I began thinking that I was being Over-Sensitive to the post. I haven't discussed it with my sister, but have been in c...

I have commented on one of my younger sisters posts over and over, I have posted on her facebook page that I love and miss her. She tagged me in a photo of her and my m...

Re: They have decided to "let go"
Thank you so much. I have cried a lot, but I did comment "OUCH" under her post. I am receiving medication and I did call my Psychiatrist because I think Lamictal may be adding to my depression. I have been on it about 6 weeks and I have been more depressed, crying a lot and sleeping 4-5 ho...

They have decided to "let go"
While in the hospital after my last suicide attempt, I called my sister. She told me that my entire family got together and decided that they were no longer going to help me. They believed that there were programs out there that could "help" me and that if they continued to help me, that t...

I believe Lamictal is for Anxiety, and I already take Buspirone for that, but I find myself getting more and more depressed, slee...
