~~Two years on SR~~


Just wanted to thank you all once again
for being here and helping me through
the rough patches!!
(My join date says April 2004, but
that's only because that's when I had to
re-register after the Big Crash. I really joined
late January of '04.)

Love you all!!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

P.S. Sorry I don't get around more than I do these days.

Thank you, Christie!! I'm glad to know you, too!!


The following is a quote from a thread I started in December of '04, when I'd been here not quite a year. It is the oldest post I could find reflecting my feelings at the time.
Hey, SR family!
I don't know where to start. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude. I think now, almost 21 years after my first hospitalization and about 30 years of being ill, my depression is in remission! I have been clean 5 days shy of 2 years, but have been battling depression and probably ADD as well for most of that time.

I just want to thank everybody here for their support. You have been a big part of my recovery this past year I'd say. I'm so glad I found SR! I have a tendency to only post when I have a problem, so I thought I'd "mix it up" a little and tell you ALL the good news.

Peace, love, and hugs, y'all,
Eddie

It's amazing where the time goes, isn't it eddie? I'm so glad you've stayed and shared your wisdom of pharmaceuticals and pets (and lots of other things too).

Lee,
Only folks who joined between January 19th, 2004 and about April 7 had to re-register. That's the time period the Crash affected.

Now here's a quote from a thread I called Blue Ed. Just compare it (April 2004) to the December '04 quote. That's what I meant about helping me through the rough patches!

I'm 37 and I don't know how to use the phone. I don't know how to talk to people. I had to give away my adorable puppy. I can't cry. I barely feel anything except anxiety sometimes...and the occasional anger. I'm more lonely around people than when I'm actually alone. I...I...I...me...me...me.
Whine whine whine. I just had to let some of that out. Thanks!
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Hiya, Eddie!
And that's great that you've come so far after two years!
G*D, if I looked back, hmmm....no, I don't want to think about that!

But, we've been through a few together and I really look forward to more to come in Palm Springs! I think Jon doesn't know what he's gotten into!

Shalom!

Yes, Lee, "it seems to be working" as a friend of mine likes to say.

Thank you, Debbie and Kellie!! You are both special to me, too.

Kellie,
You are coming to the retreat, right?

Love and hugs,
Eddie

You are so special you have really and truly helped me through a lot of things. You have also helped me so much to realize that it is OK to reach out for help. You have also helped me to realize that I might even need some extra help to help me in the program. I have an appointment Monday to see a psychiatrist, it has a lot to do with the treatment that I am on also for my interferon shots, but I think that I still need that extra help even without it today. Thanks for being such an inspiration

Love Vic
