Best Wishes Bekki.

I've been in your position twice, and been fortunate enough to catch it early in both cases.

And then there'a this little tidbit...

2017 is getting a slow start - may it stay slow on through.

Coincidence. Funny word, that.

Considering your topic, and the fact that just a couple days ago I got in touch with someone I knew in tech school (1983) and hearing that her husband had killed himself a couple years ago.

coincidences indeed. Life is Strange.

Yeah, just heard about that, that's a bummer.
Sorry for your loss CD.

[Bekki]

Copy that.
Wouldn't be my place even ya hadn't said to keep it mum.

(now as long as they're not lurking the thread...)

DOH!

Ya know; I thought about that... about the time posted my second post...

Guess I'm left to the whims of Lady Luck now!

that's quite an interesting take on it. feels more positive, in a way.

If I remember her lesson correctly, it was that the depression is neither an enemy nor a flaw. It is normal reaction to harmful environment and/or relationships. In her case the real sources for her depression were her job (or boss) and her parent who never had accepted her need to create art, and had made her to feel guilty for painting. After quiting her job and putting more distance between her and her relatives she was ready to start recovering.

It's okay, I wasn't THAT much of a Don Rickles fan.

hmm. while i agree that may be true in cases, there are many where the environment or relationships seem to be fine, yet it occurs anyways. although perhaps there may be more underlying issues. either way, a new and interesting perspective.

LOL; I deserved that...

I was referring to your friends husband. I wasn't sure how well you knew him.

That reminds me: most of the times the reasons are underlying or behind denial, because if reasons were obvious, they would be resolved through conflict long before depression forms. Things like a friend who really is not interested about anything You have to say, unless You talk about him/her. Or a parent who thinks loves you, but never makes you to feel good with smiles, hugs or kind words spoken in tender tone. Anything that belittles you, in general.

It could be lack of tribe, a group of people that makes you really feel welcome and safe to let your guard down. Like this place

Not at all. Only one of her people i knew was her first hub - and only then cuz we were.... competitors.

Gawds, no. The 70s were horrible for me.

Now if I could do em again knowing what I know now, it might be a different story.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist the excuse even though it was wrong decade.
Director of the group I linked used to be my co-worker. They also sing couple of songs in Chinese.
And have a myspace page

I miss the time without mobile phones, but othervise I don't know what period to feel nostalgic for.
It is just one more thing that makes me sad. Maybe it is connected to fact that I will be 42 within two weeks.

[Tscheuss]

Hey CD card should be there soon... Sorry it's a little late...
Been running a bit ragged what with trying to clean up the trees...
Work being crazy... trying to get the fence fixed...
Find out if I have cancer...
Sorry, I've been a bit distracted lately...

*hugs Bekki*
*gives him a stern look*

You do not have my permission to be ill.

*sits down at a table*

Now please bring me a hot cocoa. It's my day off.
