    WellingTX-congratulations on the new pup. Great to see how they accept us as part of their pack. Lots of work but worth every chewed sock!

    Spent the light in the ER with my daughter - attempted suicide. I got home at 4:30 am, they kept her in overnite. She is now home. I am exhausted, emotionally drained. Just trying not to comfort myself with food - as that only makes things worse. Just asking for prayers - the holidays are hard, as my father passed away on Xmas Eve, my brother passed away on Thanksgiving, another brother on Jan 2, and then having to watch my beautiful daughter struggle with life. But I have to count my blessings, and you guys, my dear supportive friends, I am so thankful for.

    So my list today is simple
    just for today, take it one minute at a time
    be thankful for what I DO have

    And -- I am so thankful for the wonderful, supporting friends I have found on this site.

    Oh Joan, I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with so much. I am praying for you and your daughter. Please promise us that just for today, you will take extra good care of YOU!

    Kept within my calories but did not eat healthy meals. Eaten sandwiches for lunch and did not eat much at dinner. Will have something light before going to bed.

    Joan, you have my prayers and support, and i'm so very sorry. I've been in your shoes, and it sucks. The only thing i can imagine that would be worse is if the attempt gets completed. there's nothing that can prepare you for hearing your "baby" say they want to die. there IS hope though, and i sincerely wish for you and your daughter to find something that works to get her through this as quickly as humanly possible! hugs to you, and as Bri advised: take extra good care of YOU! one minute at a time.
