Frame, it doesn't matter what you accomplished this day or that day. What will happen will happen eventually as long as you don't give up. What matters is that today you made a move.

Fallen, we all have something to learn from eachother. If we listen. Thru helping others we are essentially helping ourselves. Not only helping us to feel better, but to be a better person. You don't know your true strength until you have reached bottom. Once there, you dig just a tiny little bit mo...

My depression often maifests itself in the form of anger. I carry a picture in my pocket at all times of my family. When I get angry, before I speak, I take it out and look at it and ask myself "do I really want to hurt these peope"? It's always no. Even just the act of doing this gives me...

Citm, I also have ptsd and depression with suicidal tendencies. So I do know what pain is like and how difficult it can be. Unfortunately when dealing with relationships, doing as much research as we can to learn is about all I know to say. Relationships take a lot of work to maintain. Even the good...
