Today I just feel like giving up. Today I was told by someone close to me that everyone has problems and that they have problems they just arent diagnosed. Does that mean that mine are insignificant. That i should just give up, stop counseling and taking meds.

No, your problems are not insignificant. It just means that the person that told you this was being an insensitive jerk.Sorry that someone would say something like that to you.

Mothers tell your children
Be quick you must be strong
Life is full of wonder
Love is never wrong
Remember how they taught you
How much of it was fear
Refuse to hand it down
The legacy stops here

Sounds like you met a coward unable to face they're own problems. They can't deal with the problems they have so they try to drag others down so they can feel superior.

Both are right,

Don't let people convince you you're not important nor are your problems unimportant, because they are important! Here we love you and know you're a very special person. Don't give up just because one person wants to be a donkey and bring you down. You're a wonderful person.

I plead a Fifth of Jack Daniels. I refuse to inseminate myself! Laughing

Brenda is my partner in crime. Monkey is from a set of old car dealer commercials on U-Tube. "Trunk Monkey" I think it was called. Funny stuff.

If you don't laugh at these clips, there is definately something wrong!

I am still not convinced Tongue. In fact maybe you're a monkey in disguise?

I'll watch them when I get home, I am at work so I can't view videos.

You're such a monkey Laughing
