Morning all. Have had an emotional weekend......I am realizing that I need to get professional help for all my issues because I don't seem able to solve them myself, and am really tired of banging my head on the same wall over and over, and being depressed. Something has to change.
I had a really long talk with my oldest friend last night......it has been an eye-opening couple of months, I feel like I've reached a bottom point, relationship-wise, and just life wise. And realizing that I just can't go on this same way anymore, one crisis to the next and just anxiety, loneliness and depression all the time.
Anyway. I feel sad but also hopeful. I have taught myself some hard lessons lately, but am ready to start working on being more healthy and loving towards myself. But it will take work.
Have a lovely Sunday evening Overs.

((((IP))))

You have an awful lot going for you. You deserve better than unhappiness. Professional help sounds like a really good idea to propel you forward.

Congratulations, Andy!

Inpar, it's a step forward. I didn't really know who I was, I'd always hid behind the booze. So seeking help, I think will help you. Don't forget you've got us here too, always someone here to bat things about with. x

IP, *hugs*! You have quite a lot going for you and professional help will give you a shot at enjoying your life more and feeling more at peace. It's not a cure-all but it sure made a difference for me. Be well.

IP,
What Mags and Sassy said X 2!

Dee,
"I hope it ends up being a non surgical problem Itch.

I hear you tho - if I go on one more tablet I'm thinking of hiring myself out to Zip as maracas."

Be the maraca! I hear ya about a lot of pills but thankfully I just do the same active ingredient in Alleve, Naproxin Sodium, and a few vitamins and a generic nexium. Oh and a new one for my dry mouth from the 1000 mg of Naprosyn I take.

Dee I am really fine, and my back pain is receding for some reason. I am sending the MRI off to my neurosurgeon over in Florida where I got to meet Carlos/Matt. Speaking of whom, anyone seen him?

Wolf, you do realize that you live a very nice life. I loved the pics too.

Gil, Wolf, Dee, Mags, Suze, PJ, Star, Sassy, Toots, FBL, Andy, Thanks, all of you, I am fine! Really.

I don't sweat the small stuff and I am sure if major surgery is needed I will get it and be better again. My old bod may be a bit the worse for wear, but that only brought me down to normal.

Toots thanks too. I am sorry to hear you have your hands full. My wife pulled that same kind of parent care too for the last two years. It is never easy and with elderly parents hard to stay positive when a parent breaks a hip. I hope it all comes together for you and your Dad soon.

Hi Sober Leigh!

Andy! Four years! Woo Hoo!

My sober anniversary comes round again every September 21st. Two weeks after my September 6th Wedding anniversary. This year is our Sapphire one. IT is one of the rare anniversary where both the traditional and modern symbol is the same.

Guys I really am fine. I have the insurance and will to get the best docs on my case, if needed. It is not cancer or anything that I can feel or is life threatening. Heck I have a lipoma in my back that is not worth taking out either. It won't amount to a hill of beans. I just mentioned it like the old character Rosanne Roseanna Danna on SNL played by the late Gilda Radner:


I meant to be like Radner in her Roseanne character, It's always something.

Have a great Sun Day!

Now that is the itchy i have come to like- fighting spirit mixed with humour ( no anatomy). I like the attitude towards wearing out 'bods. Guess that is what i do, too.

HI all! Been having log in and posting trouble so have not had opportunity to catch up. Seems from the Tech forum that I am not alone.

Doing well, keeping busy, my most annoying condo owner is moving and that will be a relief for many.

Hope I can check in now since it let me post. Keeps logging out.

Anyway! Take care overs and see you around!

So sorry that you are so unhappy, IP. I imagine the long hours at work don't help the situation. Getting professional help is a brave step towards creating a better future for yourself.

All is calm at home today. It's wonderful to have two happy, healthy cats again. Right now, they are lying in the living room with me looking very content after their latest meal.

Did a lot of chores today, ready for the work week.

Itchy, I hope your medical issue resolves soon. Unfortunately, as we get older, we do seem to be always battling something, or many things, health wise.

Inpar, just like with our alcoholism, I think that finally breaking down and admitting to yourself that you have a problem and need help moving forward is going to be a huge step on your road to recovery. Once I finally admitted to myself that I was an alcoholic, I began to search for solutions. Admitting that we sometimes need help from others is not a show of weakness, but a sign of great internal strength. You rock lady!

Hi Drake! Glad things are still going well for you! I lived in a condo for years and volunteered on their Board. We had 327 units, but it was always the same six that caused most of the problems with everyone else. It was always a frustrating situation and we would secretly hope that these troublesome tenants would move away!

Itchy, I saw Carlos on another thread and he seems to be spending his time playing lots of golf in the sunshine state. I will let him know you asked about him.

Have a good night all!
