    Thank you to everyone here who has offered their support and help to myself and others who are struggling with anxiety and other issues. Some truly great people here, better than I could ever hope to be. Unfortunately my situation is not improving and I'm unable to find the help that I need. I no longer see the situation improving and think it's getting worse and no longer see a realistic possibility of a solution. 
    Last night I got to have one last dinner with family and I feel somewhat at peace with the decision I've made. I wish there was another way, but I'm no longer able even think positively about the future and I don't see myself in that future. It's time for a rest. 
    Thanks again.
    Hi! We‘ve never talked before so I don’t know your situation. But don’t give up. Have you talked to your family or friends? They can help or get you help!
    I promise life is worth living, even if it doesn’t seem like it right now!
    We‘re all here if you want to talk

    trust me, you will be more of a burden to your family and friends by your ABSENCE than by your presence. there is always better. there is always help. just one more day. then just one more day again. then again, another one more day. and so on...and so on. I literally just got off the phone with my doctor....we've got a plan and we're sticking to it. 

    don't use a permanent solution to fix a temporary problem. 

    pm me, any time. let's work you through this. I've been there. Maybe not in the same bucket, or even the same well, but we're all trying to keep our heads out of the same water. 

    You can do this.

    I hope this reply still finds you still here, fighting on. I’m so sorry that you’re struggling so hard right now.  I hope you were able to reach out from the darkness to find a sliver of light.  You will be in my heart and my thoughts.  Please, if you changed your mind and need to talk or shout or scream or cry, we will be here ready to lend an ear or a hand.  (((Hugs)))

    I went through some of his comments and he has referenced an email address before in one of his old posts. It is jhager79@hotmail.com. Does someone want to give it a try? I would, but I have a bad history with suicide, so I'm trying to stay in the background.

    When I saw his message a few days ago, I emailed Ten Club and let them know since they were likely to have contact information for him. They emailed me back saying they were going to reach out to him. I hope they were able to. I have not heard anything since. But I didn't expect that the mods would keep me personally informed.

     That was probably the best thing to do. I'm so glad you not only thought of that, but acted on it. Thank you for letting us know, GG.

    I do hope he is alright and was in a momentary point of despair. Maybe reaching out here was a good sign?

    And yes, thank you for doing that, GG.

    Yes, thank you for the update @HughFreakingDillon Also, well done @GlowGirl for reaching out to the mods. Good thinking.


    @jhager79 I’m so relieved that you are still here. You have been in my heart and my thoughts these last few days.  I’m glad you reached out for help. (((Hugs))) and love across the miles. I hope you find that sliver of light in the darkness and that it leads you to a place where you are content.

    We're so happy you're still with us, jhager! Btw, I'm not sure I used the right pronouns for you, sorry if I was wrong.

    Does anyone feel like talking about some healthy habits in general? What works for you?

    I'm feeling a lot better for getting lots of things fixed at home and at my folks. I've achieved quite a lot, whether I'm doing the fixing or finding the right people to help. I managed to get replacement garden fences, garden patio, some flooring, fix a hole in the ceiling, plumbing (internal and external), and electrics. That's not just it either, thete's still other stuff to sort out.

    I can't believe I single handedly have removed my entire kitchen floor with just a wallpaper scraper and crafting hammer. I've surprised myself. Although I wouldnt have taken it on if i knew what was required, I'm really pleased with what I'm achieving on top of working full time, being a carer and taking the dog for 3 or 4 walks a day, although im sure that's just his cunning plan to keep us both fit and healthy.

    That's a hefty list of things you were able to accomplish! Fixing things on your own or having people come out and fix things--feels so good. I admire you for all that hard work! That's for sure.
