I Don't Know What To Say. I'm Bad At Threads

Sorry I didn't comment before...
Ed, depression is an evil beast. Do not let it kill you.
I hope you do not have to go to the hospital, but if you do there are worse things.
You are brilliant and very kind.
The world needs awesome people like you.
Don't let the bastards get you down, mister.
:hug:

Sorry I missed this thread yesterday. Hope you are doing better.

As for lost potential, as others have said you already do great things. Listening to others who are in the crappy phase of PTSD as you are right now. Listening, joking, inspiring others to grab the "rope" in the deepest darkest hole of this.

Yeah I realize I said same thing twice. But my potential to do something meaningful is at the same time going in a different direction than intended.

Maybe this is something you have to go through and make it past in order to have great potential in a different direction that will make sense later.

Sorry I'm very scrambled today, I don't want you to give up.

Hey Ed.

Just reading your thread now. Thank you for sharing your situation regardless of how difficult it was to do so.
I can so relate to the fear of never really being able to live up to my own potential or my dreams. But we can always hope.

I am in a similar situation right now so I think I get where you´re coming from.
Well, you are not alone. But you knew that already, I think.

:hug:

If I am having SI for more than 5 minutes and it is serious and I cannot stop, I call 911 and go the H. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be in your situation feeling the way you do about hospitalization. I only read your original note, so I don't know if you wrote anything since. I feel for you! I know what it feels like to believe one is a failure. I know what it feels like to believe one is worthless and cannot contribute successfully to society. I am glad for you that you are trying to overcome all that. I applaud you, in fact. I will pray for you.

How are you coping today @Ed Norton ?

You know I can tell how well rec'd you are on this site.:happy: You are very bright, compassionate and strong. A lot of us really admire you, myself included.:hug: I hope you feel this from all of us.

I also know that your pain and disappointment are very deep. I wish I couldn't, but I can relate. You are mourning what you were, and what you know your potential should be. You have the traits to be...well...anything you wanted to be(skies the limit), and now that appears to be gone....that is ineffable pain:hug:

May you find your way to peace.
May Ed be safe from inner and outer harm.

*Holy sheep sh*t this hit a nerve:wideeyed::inpain::cry:...yikes!!!!
I'm rarely this connected with anything:cry:
Anyway, that's my stuff...:sorry:

Keep in mind, feelings aren't truths.

Saelben you are wise beyond your years. How true this statement is. I think I'll tape this to my bathroom mirror to remind me daily.

Glad you are part of this forum.

Much love,
Heather

Thinking of you Ed.

And you're the best Anon I've seen in a while. (*alluding to errors of the other threads that were quite hilarious, & very honest respect.)

And you are good at threads :) You really get the meaning through and write well :hug:

@Heather
Thank you, but I am definitely not, I make so many mistakes that I'm ashamed of...
