ever feel like your not wanted or needed? ever feel like your just going through the ACT from day to day? ever just need some one to reach deep down into your pit of sadness and drag you out of the drakness into the light? ever just not care? ever just want to have some one love you? ever just want some one to love? ever sit and look out a window and wonder why do i feel like this? ever want to scream as loud as you can for help but not know what help it is you need? ever sit and watch the clock tic tock time away and feel like your missing out on something that really does matter? ever try to figure out what it is that does matter?


welcome to my world today.....sigh

peace

We all feel like that from time to time, some more and some less. The important thing is not to let it get the better of you, You have to get up and do somthing about it. Try calling a friend or loved one, mabye come here and let us have a go at helping you (although jokes are at your own peril Very Happy).

Sometimes these moods symbolize many pent up feelings and you could try to seat down and write, write anything let what you feel flow through you unto the paper and then read it - you'd be surprized at what you'll discover about yourself this way.

Hope things pick up for you Smile

Hugs

Hey Tim...

We've all felt like that. Tried to fix it with pills, alcohol, whatever........but it all just waits to bite you again. It's that dark place no one wants to go. Come out of there please.

You better be careful or I'll start writing my famous horrid jokes on here again......In fact..........

One Sunday afternoon, a drunk stumbles into a baptismal service down by the river. He staggers into the water and stands next to the preacher, who turns, notices the old drunk and says, "Are you ready to find Jesus?"

The drunk looks back and says, "Yep."

The minister dunks the fellow under and pulls him back up. "Have you found Jesus?"

"Nope," says the drunk.

The preacher dunks him under for a bit longer, brings him up and says," Now brother, have you found Jesus?"

Nope," says the drunk.

Disgusted, the preacher holds him under for at least thirty seconds, brings him up and demands, "For the grace of God, have you found Jesus yet?"

The old drunk wipes his eyes and pleads, "Are you sure this is where he fell in?"

Luv Ya Smile

tim...of USA, I have found a sure fire way to get rid of those doldrums. And it worked for me today. I was having a absolute sh*tty day at work, but I took my treatment and the sun shone upon me the rest of the day. My treatment? Spent an hour tutoring a fourth grader in reading, math, and writing. We also had time to do a little talking. This is only my second session with him because the school year is new and needy students had to be identified. But at the end of the session I told him that I was glad he came today. He said me too. I asked Oh why, because you had to come to the session? His answer was no, I wanted to come.


Hugs, Charlie

I don't know why. It's not like there's anything going on. Job is fine, wife is fine, Angels in the World Series, I worte my new story and a Haiku, the weekend has begun, etc. I should be happy. Usually I know why I feel down. But not today. Oh well, if I don't feel well by tomorrow night, there's always beer. That frequently works and it's one thing my Dr. didn't tell me I had to give up (got no fat in it).

Even my stupid sense of humor isn't helping me tonight. {{sigh}}

Think good thoughts,

What I was gonna say is, I have sort of assumed I'm the guy who's always feeling that way, so your post caught me quite by surprise.

I have you in my thoughts, Tim, because as a person who is very used to be where you are, it is easy to both know how you feel, and wish you to find your way back again.

Sometimes it's possible to plain decide to have a good day.

Sometimes it has to come on its own.

No matter which is true for you right now, I am thinking about you, and wishing you all the best. Not sure if that is any help to you, hehe, but at least it's offered free of charge. Smile

Wasn't ignoring you, just missed it.

Now, at risk of confusing everyone, 3,500 is awesome, and you are as much part of it as you choose.
