You are much stronger than you think for being able to come here and share your story with total strangers. You have a long road ahead of you, but if you keep going with the determination you are showing us in this post, you will be one of those who has a wonderful story of accomplishment. You will be amazing.0

And now I'm crying at work. I'm sending you a request. I want to watch the rest of your story.0

I've been through some of the crappiest crap too. Similar but also different. My life is a journey of healing and learning to be proud of the strong person I've become. The hardest thing to learn for me still is self acceptance and love while also pushing myself to be the best I can be. I'm nowhere near where I want to be but must also keep in mind how far I've come.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm cheering for you. :flowerforyou:0 -
What an amazing post. There are no words big enough to respond. Wow.
Thank you for being brave enough to put it all out there. Just think of how many people you have inspired by sharing what you've been through (myself included).
Best of luck to you!0 -
Like many others, I generally don't read long posts or intro posts. Heck, I don't venture into the forums, period.
and, yet, I was riveted and so moved by your story.
Prayers, dear man, for healing inside and out.0 -
Speechless. I haven't cried this much in so long. I added you. I will be sending you a message. You're nothing but an INSPIRATION. You have an amazing heart.0

Agree with everyone else's posts - also not one to read longer posts - yours' grabbed hold and held on.
Nothing "new" to add that hasn't already been said, just all the best to you and enjoy the ride, it all gets better from here on in... You got this!0 -
Congrats on finding your way, I have been where you was/are and know all to well what you are going through (lost my sister to kidney failure, she was just 49 years young) ... Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and stay the course... You will achieve your goals....
Congrats again...0 -
Wow, that was so moving! Thank you for sharing your story, as heartbreaking as it is in parts. (I cried!)
I will be praying for you, as you move to Florida (jealous Michigander here! and continue on your journey to health.
You CAN do this!!! I just know it! And I will be looking forward to seeing you on the Success Stories message board.

Welcome to depression central, and I mean that in a very real and positive way. You're in the right place. Keep doing what you're doing and don't forget to pat yourself on the back for your progress. One step at a time. One day at a time.0

It's impossible to read this and not respond. What you have been through from such a young age, is intolerable, and yet you are still here. Continue to honor your sister's love of life and her love of you. You are worth it. Every single damn day you are here, you are worth it. We all know it. Believe it.
Big hugs,
~Curly :flowerforyou:0 -
