You're in my prayers, hang in there.

Snidely....Obviously you need some attention...Take the time that you need and give it to yourself. I have walked the same path, maybe for different reasons, nevertheless, the same path... What is important? You are! Get well my friend...

Snidely, man, I've trod the same path, seven yrs. ago. Just had to find out what it was like down that road. Don't leave b4 the miracle. It gets... different!   

Kudos for you for seeking help Snidely...for God's sake don't bug out yet! Us dinosaurs are a dwindling bunch and we need to support one another! Your work has always impressed me and if it helps I went through a similar patch eleven years ago. I listened to and acted on the suggestions of the staff at the clinic I attended and have not looked back since. My life just gets better. Cling to hope Snidely....it does get better and you have taken the first courageous steps...well done!  

My prayers are with you brother. I just had a heart bypass operation and everyone's prayers meant so much. There is a lot of power in prayer. Read romans 8:28 in the Bible
I am sure you will find it uplifting. I keep it in mind whenever I am having a problem.

I don't know what I can say, you are in my prayers and please be strong and never be afraid to ask for help.

Snidely, please, please, PLEASE get the help you need to get through this....if not at the out-patients dep't, at least with your own doctor.

I have suffered with trauma/injury related depression and anxiety disorders for some years now and, for the most part, I cope reasonably well with it these days thanks to therapy and the tremendous support of my wife & family.

My demons (crutches) were alcohol and prescription drugs ....both uppers AND downers. Not a clever thing to do! I got so F*cked up that wasn't sure about anything any more.....whether or not I was Arthur or Martha, whether I had to stand or squat to pee.

Thing is, I came out of it the other side, gave up the booze and lead a reasonably happy life these days, and so can you. Please try to keep your spirits up, and please do look after yourself...I've been there done that so my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Snidely I know we haven't always seen eye to eye yet I will keep you in my thoughts. Hang in there. Things will get better.

Snidely, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept/seek professional help to help you get through this. Do not isolate yourself.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and you know where this ear is. Keep plugging away.

By the way Snidely if you need to talk PM me or IM me. Hang in there OK?

Snidely you have taken one of the most important steps by reaching out. You are not alone, without this place I call home I would have taken the same path. Paste a smile on your face no matter how hard it is, I do it everyday and soon you will find real reasons to smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you as well.

Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

It's My Secret

My prayers are with you Snidely, dealing with personal issues can be a b**ch sometimes. But, we all have them in some fashion or another and sometimes asking for help is the what is truly needed be it professional, spiritual or other.

Hang in there Snidely. Time is your enemy. Heal well!

Good luck Snidely,my heart goes out to you.
I am starting a new job this Wednesday after two years out with bi-polar disorder(used to be called manic depression).I decided not to go the medication route but had cognative therapy,lot's of walks in the fresh air and I followed a healthy diet.With the support of friends and family I feel ready to rock again and I hope you will be able to do the same in the not too distant future.
Again good luck to you.I don't pray but you will be in my thoughts.
