Thank you, finding it tough to re enter my life, house feels like I never lived in it, everything seems so strange - anybody have similar problems getting back home after Hospital?

Hi. Been in Hospital for almost a month. Things just boiled over and came to a head. Had an intervention. Been a hard month but finally got discharged and got home. Hard to find my feet again. Hard to fit in again at home. Much more scrutiny on me now, greater pressure. Everything seems so...

Welcome friend, you are not alone and never will be. Forget that Leaving Las Vegas stuff - Your life is worth so much more than that. I have been to the bottom too. You can get back up my friend, you will get back up - you will. No one here will ridicule you or call you names. We are here for...

Wow! Busy times. You keep up the good work. Well done with everything. So very proud of you. Just get that fence fixed asap - better a short run in a safe place that's fully secure than a long run somewhere unsafe. You have been blessed by kind and good folks thank God, who have helped you...

It was a beautiful, sunny day today. There was sand from the Sahara in the atmosphere and it gave the light a stunning golden hue. The spring lambs were leaping everywhere and the buds have started to come into leaf. Green is an amazing color at this time of year. The birds sang so beautifully...

I agree with you, sometimes when I look at all that's happened it's like an out of body experience. For anyone else, I would be heartbroken for them, but for me, it is as if it doesn't have the same weight. Sometime when I talk it all through, I try never to do that now, people start to cry and...

Regarding hope, I once read, in horror, that these scientists, Harlow and his nutty colleagues, seperated baby monkeys from their mothers and isolated those little guys in a steel capsule called the 'pit of despair' and observed the little creatures and then they eventually recorded and decided...

I understand. I am thinking of you. I was only speaking from my own life experience as you are speaking from yours. Let us agree that we are glad we have our lives today and this place of safety to share with each other in freedom and love and mutual respect and without fear.

Thank you. Thank you both for sharing. I appreciate that so much. Just to share back, when I had 2 serious brain injuries a few years back, the Doctors gave me a poor outlook, they said I would be dead within 30 days or so badly disabled I would wish I was. I couldn't even speak. Well here I am...

You are not a failure at anything. You gave a precious life a home and love, that is just amazing. Every day I leave the house, I worry myself sick about my animals. They mean so much to me. I often worry my rough days leech over to them as they are so sensitive. But don't worry, I bet Winnie...

Hi. I decided to post this due to some replies on another thread. In the course of my treatment, I had a great Psychologist. He taught me the value of hope and the efficacy of changing the direction of my thinking. Without laboring the point, he taught me that I am more than a victim, a...

Please, be gentle, a forum remonstrating I could not bear today. All I can say is this, if you 'walked a mile in my shoes' then you would truly understand, I of all folks have the least right to hope for a day of being 'healed'. But my beliefs as a Christian allow me that potential luxury and...

Hey Anthony, hope you are well. I recognise your intelligent and honest thinking and acknowledge the evidence is with you but I honestly say this in love, If I did not truly believe there was a better day ahead, I just do not know where I would be. I have earned the ragged right to say that...

Please don't rule out a complete recovery and a medication - free future. People can be and have been cured and healed my friend. Who knows what great things are ahead for you? We just have to be wise and use our common sense and remember that others may depend on us so we have to be at our best...

If it wasn't for sleep, I would have truly been section 8 a long time ago. I don't mean that in any way as a poor joke - sleep can be a life saver. Sometimes when it gets so unbearable, I just pray and stop fighting and let God carry me into sleep and just surrender everything. This has been...
