Re: Hi, I'm old and my dreams are all ashes

Thank you, Prycejosh! I am working on the money situation and things are looking up a little bit. Also trying to have a positive mindset. I appreciate your optimism! I think the most important thing is your finances, money isnt everything but it makes the world go around. Explore options on what you...

Re: Hi, I'm old and my dreams are all ashes

Thank you for replying, Princess Ninja! I appreciate the kind and wise words. I'm so sorry you got involved with a bad boyfriend. That's not your fault at all -- I hope you realize that. And I'm very sorry for the loss of your grandfather. Thank you for taking the time to post! It really does mean a...

Re: Hi, I'm old and my dreams are all ashes

Hi Prycejosh, thank you so much for responding. I gave up on checking the boards regularly because the replies come so few and far between, so forgive me for not answering earlier. I appreciate the supportive words and I am trying to put them into practice by seeing what I *can* do now rather than d...

Re: Alone and Scared

Hi Kay20, how are things now? Have they gotten any better? All I can say is to try not to isolate yourself. Try to reach out and see old friends and make new friends. I know it's hard and feels fake. Chat with me here if you want.

Re: Hi, I'm old and my dreams are all ashes

Hi Spleefy, I really appreciate your long and thoughtful response. Sorry I have not been checking this board very often. Your advice is wise and I will try to apply it. Helping others is something that I know I should do and that would probably help me. Also, concentrating on what I can do with the ...

Re: Hi, I'm old and my dreams are all ashes

Hi FLGuy, Sorry, I stopped checking responses to my post. This board does not seem to get much traffic, and I pretty much gave up checking back to see if anyone read my post. It's just a fluke that I signed in today to look. I am doing a little better lately. In a way I think it's because I just don...

Re: Here's me...(long, but I need some help)

Hi, I'm sorry you're going through this. Here's what I would say: Do talk to a lawyer about what you're doing for your mother and whether you can get guardianship, and about finding assets. I understand lawyers are expensive -- are there any free legal services for those in financial need where you ...

Re: i feel as tho im dying.this prolonged depression is different

Hey, I'm really sorry that you're experiencing this, and I am sorry you got a weird response as the first response. It is messed up when you get up the courage to pour your heart on a message board and then you get a weird response or zero responses! We're already fragile and it's not easy to not ta...

Re: Unable to express my emotions

Hi, I'm really sorry to hear what you're experiencing. It sounds like severe depression. Do you have any access to therapy? I know this sounds completely lame, but if you FORCE yourself to exercise, go on outings, go out with people, go on walks, call a friend on the phone, even do volunteer work, i...

Re: I want to no longer exist

Hey, how are you doing? I understand and can relate to the desire to not exist. I also can relate to missing your cat (I just lost mine). Do you want to talk about it on the board here? I know that is not much to offer, but perhaps it would help.

Re: my best friend

I'm so sorry. Birdie is beautiful. I lost my cat in December. I still can't believe he's gone. I had a dream a couple weeks ago where he was about to jump up on the bed. He put his front feet up but then somehow got pulled away or faded away ...

Tell me more if you want to. It might help.

Re: Stuck in a Viscious Cycle of Self Sabotage and I want to die.

Hi there, Your post really resonated with me and I wanted to reply. First, I wanted to say that the way you wrote the introduction, like the first three paragraphs, is wonderfully evocative and captures the essence of depression and self-loathing so well. You are a good writer and a sensitive, think...

Re: Hi, I'm old and my dreams are all ashes

Hi, thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate it. It is great to hear that you came to feel that life is worth living despite disappointments. I also love to hear that you ran a triathlon -- that's awesome, and inspiring. I agree that depending on other people's opinions for a sense of s...

Re: Hi, I'm old and my dreams are all ashes

Hi Eboni, thank you so much for responding! It certainly does help to feel that I am not alone in my feelings. I would love to talk. I am not seeing a therapist right now but I would like to. As you probably know, it's hard to find the right one. I don't think I'm too picky but I want to talk to som...

Hi, I'm old and my dreams are all ashes

So, if you're 18 or 22 or 34 and thinking, "I've ruined my life with my bad decisions," imagine how much more that would suck if you were 58 and you realize at this point that it's ... well ... objectively true. That's where I'm at. I've really made a series of the most boneheaded, immatur...
