Okay, I’ve been thinking about this for some time now. We’ve got posters up in here that have some not so good things going on in their real life. For some people, this place is an entertaining escape from the crap they have to deal with. And while not everyone will want to talk about what it is that may be causing them anger, anxiety, grief, or whatever, I’d like there to be a place where people can go to bend an ear, post updates, or just say, “Hey, I’m going through a rough patch here and your prayers/thoughts would be appreciated.”

I know there are good people here and I think that most everyone cares about everyone else. You all know that I’m pretty free flowing and am all about a good threadjack, but if this thread takes off I’d like to see it stay at least somewhat serious.

So to kick it off, for those of you whose situations I’m aware of, I’m still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. For those others I don’t know about, know that you’ve got an audience ready to listen and lend their support.
 
By great thread idea, I agree in general there is a lot of compassion here for each other.


I like to give thanks those who have taken time to support me with my dad the past 8 months
 
This is a cool thread topic. Better than my psychiatric thread. Well I am here with a shoulder and my PM is always open.

As BY said those that I know about my thoughts and prayers.

I was going to ask you how your dad was doing, then I saw your post over on Sox Planet. Did you mention it over here and I just missed it?
 
I've shared some of my challenges here and there (though hopefully not in any kind of overly sad sack attention whoreish ways). Many of you have been very kind and encouraging and I appreciate that. I know there are also others on the board with challenges of their own and I suppose no life is without its drama. For the most part my life has been filled mostly unexpected negative experiences sprinkled with brief moments of levity. This board actually helps me stay (somewhat) sane -- which is actually kind of frightening ;). I am trying to stay focused on what could be, but for the most part feel like I am clinging to driftwood from the sunken ship that was my potential life. My life feels a bit like that movie "Ground Hog Day" except I am not learning piano nor do I get to punch Ned Reyerson in the face. I don't think I can ever really get back to where I was "supposed" to be, but am trying to hang on to whichever pieces float to the surface. Hmmm....is that poetic or pathetic? :rolleyes:
 
Great thread idea, BY!

I know I've espoused about things here several times, and have been uplifted by many here with their thoughtful, caring, and supportive responses.

I do love the Planet and it's members, and am thankful for this haven of insanity. :)

Hugs and prayers all around!

That sucks..heal fast!
 
Great thread idea BY! Some people don't have anyone or anywhere to go to vent and this could be a nice lil place for that. Sometimes you just don't wanna talk to the people around you and again this is perfect.

Well still not 100% but for the most part much better :) Relief to find nothing MAJOR wrong with me anyway. Very slight hiatal hernia and waiting to see if the biopsy comes back with nothing which I am sure it will. So atleast I've quit smoking from all of this and I have been dropping weight toooo sooo with all the bad in life there is always something positive that can be found in it :)

Sorry, but I had to ROFL a little bit there. Methinks there's a pretty good story in there.

Good luck with it. Are you going to be able to go back to work once the cast comes off?

I didn't either until Friday when they started explaining to me that he might want to do a biopsy while in my tummy LOL After that they started sedating me and although I was awake the whole time I don't remember a thing LOL Strangest feeling EVER! But it's all good!
