Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

ASO1979able"MDJ to me is a safe haven, it's a place where I can be myself and admit my feelings without being ridiculed and made fun of. It's a place where I feel like part of a family instead of an outsider. I feel like my feelings and thoughts are safe here." (ASO1979able)

Does anyone here know anything about shock therapy? I was just wondering if anyone here has had it done or has any info on it. How do you qualify for it? I think that is a good question.
-Stacy

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope

For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; there is yet faith

But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.

Wait without thought, for you are not yet ready for thought:

So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

-T.S. Eliot

I know a little about it. I know that it is a painless procedure usually reserved for people that are med resistant.

i have heard they use it in exstreme cases for various things
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
