Eric.....your counsellor may be unavailable but there is always someone to talk to who really cares and wants to help. I know if Dee was here right now he would point out the crisis lines there....I am going to find them.

You have my number and I am totally available....just working on my menagerie of plants and talking to my favourite squirrel.

BRB with the numbers.
Please hang in there....things can always get better.
Suicide is a horrendous end of the line darling Eric.

I need you.....we all do. s ❤️

Post lots Erfra, support to you.

So very well done purp.

Always a stress time of year- as mem's of dead bro (booze- we turned him off) who I share a birthday with (not twins, he was 3y older). My other bro matter of factly informed me I was in the same bad, same ICU bro died in- after waking from an induced coma. I know what NOT to do, and the days drag at times, but even in such times- my gratitude for every breath I take is there.

24 more.

Or not. There's a ton of stuff to discuss with my therapist 😵.

So, here's to Day 8. Nice to have a week under my belt.

Congratulations to everyone celebrating even the tiniest victory today, and healing thoughts and prayers for those hurting and struggling.

With much love,
Sue
Congratulations on your one week of freedom Optimist!!
Keep going - it gets better.
