What people don't want to accept is that emotional pain is as real as physical. You can not cut your brain out when the thoughts and emotional pain is that bad. I am thankful that now people can ask for counseling to help them see and feel differently, also there are now meds. We have got to remove the shame of this so that people reach out for the help that is available.. Before it is too late. People contemplating suicide do not need a lecture on how selfish they are, they need support and to be encouraged to seek help.

Talk to your doctor about it, it is normal to be up and down from day to day, but being constantly down even if you have good reason can develop into chemical depression.. We would miss our moosey

That would be great! thank you so much.

Thank you Mark Willix for sponsoring a table

This is why I started this thread, almost everyone has been impacted by depression. We need to bring it out of the closet and have open,honest, and frank discussion. We perpetuate the problem by being quiet as though it were a shameful thing. We are all human, life is hard, it beats us up rather than showing disgust for what many feel is mental weakness we need to hold our hand out with understanding and compassion.

That would be perfect! Thank you sweetheart

We are almost done planning the details. We do know it will be the first week of November at Chene Rouge in the evening. We have 2 dates to choose from and will make the final decision tomorrow. It is a business after hours, businesses can sponsor a table for $50.00 I have already sponsored one for p.com. The food is being donated by local restaurants that knew our friend well. Attendance is a $5.00 donation at the door. If you do not want to attend but would like to purchase a ticket or sponsor a table anyway you can contact me. We will be selling raffle tickets for door prizes

It is terrible that so many are ashamed that they don't reach out. If your life has become gray or a friend shares with you that their life is gray it is time to see a doctor. Grayness is when you can no longer see the good in anything, when nothing makes you happy and you don't see anyway to change it. This is an indication that you have had enough setbacks in life that your brain has reacted by producing chemicals and developing neuro pathways that make it very difficult or even impossible to help one self.

I especially enjoy dropping by your office for positive thoughts, motivation and a big hug

January is out of surgery It took a little longer than expected, she is doing fine except they have starved her for 2 days and she is bored.

Basically the definition of mental illness is that someone acts or behaves in a way that those in good mental health can not understand or comprehend. Just like any illness sometime treatment works sometimes not, that is there are institutions for them because they can and do harm others. It is up to the normal people around them to maintain their own mental stability when dealing with them and that means knowing when it is time to walk away. The hardest thing for most people to accept is that they are sick just like a cancer, the symptoms are very painful to those around them. When

Yall are so sweet. We have shed some tears tonight, we were really caught off guard with how fast it is progressing.

If she had a cancer that caused so much pain that when you were with her that she moaned and screamed would you feel the same way? Behaviors that "normal" folks don;t understand and bring horrible emotional pain are just the same, and just like cancer sometimes all the drugs and therapies do not work. It is easy to hate cancer as a disease because you can see it under a microscope. Mental illness does not need a microscope you can easily see the progression of the disease. surely your sister saw the pain and suffering it was as real to the victim as physical pain from a physical a

I want to thank you all for your support through pm's and phone calls. This community has needed this service for a long time,I will be posting and informing everyone more about this new service over the next few months. I appreciate the support for this cause near and dear to my heart. I know everyone out there has been touched just as deeply and as devastatingly by mental health issues as cancer. It is time to stand up and say I or my family member needs help with this illness!

I am reading a thread about a supposed suicide! I have had enough! My Grandfather committed suicide before I was born, more devastating than his death was the shame the family bore! I remember with perfect clarity the folks in our community bearing up to the pain and embarrassment of this. We readily accept physical afflictions that become so unbearable and painful that most normal people would opt out! We spare no mercy for those that the emotional pain becomes so unbearable that they opt out. So everything above the shoulders is nonsense and one should just pick themselves u

I am so sorry Sadie, we all remember the notification whether it is a police car in the driveway, a relative or even a nurse at the hospital and we never associate any good with it. I do know that you and others have had the support of our on line community no matter how the news broke we alway associate pain with it. I can not find anything on line about the accident, it would be best if we wait for an official obituary or for Pubby to confirm this. Sometimes families wish total and complete privacy about the circumstances when a loved one passes. I think it best we respect this.

You will make a lovely racing stripe

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I am having a very difficult time with this. It has progressed so quickly just since I made the first post. She can no longer put weight on the leg, we can feel that it has spread into the spine. The stronger meds are not helping much. We are carrying her down the steps to potty because we fear her rolling and breaking bones, She is being very good about waiting to potty. She is still very interested in her food and treats so we have decided to indulge her to her hearts content until next week. Thank you all for the good thoughts and

Well he does claim to taste better, but that is a matter of opinion

Don't know yet, Mark Willix usually tells me how to dress! His taste is better than mine

Your special baby! This would have been so much better if someone would have been bathing in the fountain in a red thong Or at least sporting rooster feathers! The tonk awaits your royal hotness

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I am sure your lawyer would say.................

You should watch her work, she becomes so engaged with her subjects, especially the little ones! Love my January!!! Speaking of pics! this is January at one of her finer moments

You would be perfect for LGM!
