Hi Tizztt, the hang in there I believe is ranked right up there with "this too shall pass" for being annoying, but sometimes that is the only way that we have to express our concern and care for others that are suffering.. What kinda meds are you on?

I take lamictal, zoloft and clonapen. I really do see you saying hand in there. Sometime do you know when you don't want to hang in there? My Mom is trying so hard to understand this disease and she always says, "Hang in there" all with good intesions. I'm sorry if I offende you. i really do care, I also understand when i din't want to hang in ther. I have never attempted suicide. i just like to push people away. I really, truly am sorry if I have offended any

No sweetie you haven't offended anyone, and I don't believe that you could. I am glad that you recognize that your Mom is doing the best that she can at the moment. Don't forget to give her a hug and say thank you, it's hard for others to understand where we are at.

I am glad too that you have never had a attempt, and please please if those thoughts ever get into your mind, get your self to the nearest hospital for help, you don't have to go this alone.

I too push others away, if I can't stand being around me, how can I expect others too? by reaching out here, you are doing wonderful in seeking understanding and care.

Hugs

Carmen

I'm sorry if I made you cry, I hate crying myself and would never want to do that to anyone else. the struggles that you are having must really be tough.

Your a brave woman, and you are doing the very best that you can, it is great that you have such a wonderful support system around you, Your daughter needs you in her life, and you have many of those that you haven't even met yet, that would suffer a great loss if you were to leave before it is time for you to go.

I am glad that you are here.

Hugs.

Carmen

It's good for the soul whether or not anyone is looking, I use to hide it, lock myself in my room, the bathroom or whatever, never let anyone see me cry, and by doing so, I removed the possiblity of letting others help me in my pain...not a good thing to do really.

Hugs

Carmen
