MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

Sandi, I feel the pain in your heart. I just want to wrap the wings of angels around you to soothe your grief. Know that your beautiful friend is still your beautiful friend...she simply walks beside you on another plane. She is with you and always will be. My heart aches with your pain. I recently found out that one of my very close friends from 20 years ago whom I had maintained contact with went home one day told his wife goodbye kissed his son and then left the house and never came back. He also commited suicide. But I know that he walks beside me. I can feel his presence at times. Keep sseeing your counselor and keep on your meds and keep talking with us. I will light a candle for you. May Grandfather Sun shine upon you to warm your heart with healing Light and May Grandmother Moon shine brightly to light your path in the darkness.

Blessings of Love and Light,

Corani

Hi I know where you are coming from,I myself have suffered from depression along with anxiety.Currently found out that there is a mental illness history through my father side.I was never close to my father nor his side of the family.I have coped well with it however at times I relaspe but bounce right back up.I do alot of jounrnal writing andtry to keep myself busy.I am not one to talk to others about my depression/anxiety or other health problems I may have.Seems like I open up to people that I dont see face to face.As for friends,well I have a few but rarely see them.I tend to have more online friends through messenger,yearbook and my space.Your not the only one feeling this way there are many others like yoyou my friend.Feel free to vent daily if you need to.I am always willing to listen cause I know how you feel.Hugs Sapphire
