Ly & Laura, I'm not around much and you don't know me but I just want to tell you both how very sorry I am that you lost your mothers. I can't even imagine the pain you are both going through. I hope yall are doing somewhat better. I don't have any helpful advice or fancy words to tell you. Just...

Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted but each of you have been on my mind. I'm very sorry to hear that some of you were sick over the holidays. From what I've read, seems that things are looking up for everyone. I'm glad to hear it! Things with me are going. That's about all I can...

I am so sorry Slap! I know what you are going through. I have dealt with self mutilation as well but not severe. I am very experienced with all kinds of meds. I have been on almost all of the meds you are taking. My old doctor would try to treat my constant depression with different meds and...

Thank you all so much! I'm praying for everyone. That's all I can do to help you besides being here for you. I can't remember who posted what from the time I hit the reply button but know that I'm thinking of you all and am wishing you the very best. My brother and sister have fixed up my mom's...

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! I foresee two very spoiled babies. I don't blame you though. Spoiling them is the fun part. Best wishes for two healthy babies and an easy pregnancy for your mom!

I'm so glad you are in good spirits. My prayers are with you and your doctors. This is just one more milestone to make you stronger.

Thank you all so much! You all are wonderful friends. I hope everyone has a great week! :heart:

Thank you Jenn and Marcy! They decided to hold off on putting my mom into an assisted living home. They just keep hinting at her. I'm going to get her for Christmas, next weekend. I'm going to tell her what they have planned and give HER the choice of where she wants to live. Debbie! Wow! You...

Thank you so much, Debbie for your kind words! You had the greatest gift of all, being with your mother when she passed away. I can only hope to be that blessed. It feels so good knowing I have support. Thank you! Melissa

I haven't posted my story because it seems very minor compared to what each of you strong ladies are going through. But I feel the closeness of you all and today, I really feel the need to share. I have Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depressive). I went through a bout of depression in the 90's that...

{{{{{Debbie}}}}} Hang in there! You'll do fine, I just know it! You're in my prayers. Besides, you have a whole forum of incredible people pulling for you. We will be with you every step of the way.

I can't answer that, I don't know why. It seems so unfair. This is what I believe: Your dad is still watching over you and you can still talk to him. I believe he can hear you. I'm sorry if I sound crazy. I just wish I could help ease your pain. :weepy:

I am so very sorry that you lost your dad! Cry and let it all out. It will help to express your emotions, like you did by writing this post. I wish I could give you a great big hug right now! If you want to talk to someone, I'll be here for you, just pm me. You're in my thoughts and prayers. You...

Please keep me in your thoughts, and prayers. Debbie Consider it done! Good luck Debbie! I keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers daily. I hope you all are having a great day! :heart:

I don't intentionally collect anything. My mother-in-law has over a thousand thimbles. She started giving extras to me several years back. I haven't had the heart to tell her I don't care to collect them. So now I have a small collection, maybe 50.

I thought Lacy was a little over 3 years old. I got her from school but a girl, now in the 11th grade, came over to our house and saw her. She said the teacher had her when she was in the 5th grade. So that would make her around 6 years old. I don't have a clue. Surely she couldn't be that old...

I have been reading this thread and just want to say how much I admire each and every one of you! You are some very strong people! I have big ears and strong shoulders should anyone need me. I'll be here for you.

Guess what? I found the thread. lol MelissaIsTaken = Lacy&Buttercup
