just wanted to pop in and say hi. didn't know where else to go so i started this thread. have not been doing very well so i don't talk much. but i do check in and try to see what's going on with everyone else. i'm really worried about the next hurricane and all of the south. seems like its anyone's guess who will get it next. i know that alot of you need rain, but this is crazy! so go to AP and go to welcome to the burrow to my weather thread and let me know how you are doing.
me? depression messes a person up pretty bad and it's hard to talk about it because alot of people don't understand. seems like i about get over one thing and another thing happens. my daughter made sure that my granddaughters are really mad at me now and i don't know if they will talk to me for a very long time. my DM is still gone, and my sister is about to go to prison for stealing $22'000 from my best friend. she is also on crack.
otherwise, i'm just fine.
but i have talked to some of you on the phone and it's wonderful to know that someone out there cares and don't mind getting bored to death with all of this mess.
so anyway, just pop in and say hey and at least i have a place to go to tell everyone that i haven't forgotten you all.
sending lots of hugs and love! |

this is the best darned hugging place.
no, tosca, i don't take any antidepressants because the doctor has tried everything in the cupboard and nothing does any good. so i live with it. the days that i feel that i can't take it any more, i just call someone to get my mind off of it. but it stinks sitting here not being able to function and having nobody to look at . my furbabies are really good company though. korkie always knows when i'm sad and he gets in my face to make sure that i'm ok. he's really cute about the whole thing. |

Korkiemama, many hugs are being sent to you. Quirkies chat every day, from mid-afternoon to bedtime - lots of laughing and fun. And of course there's the recently established big Friday evening chat. Do you have instant messaging from msn? I can't remember. Anyway, it's easy to install. Add me as a contact - [email protected], and we'll bring you in and then you can add the others. Laughter is the best medicine. Hope to be chatting with you soon. cuddles and hugs    Loving Tosca |

i'm going to have my son check that out for me. i think that i do but i don't chat much. my address is [email protected]
i think that i use that for everything.
i have a thread on AP on (welcome to the burrow) called got weather?
if any of you still go there, i gave out my number so members can contact me if they nave bad weather and lose their computers. i have this bad habit of needing to know that everyone is alright. then if that happens, i can pass along any messages.
so keeping an eye on ike has kept me busy for the time being anyway.
you know, i was wondering if we should have something like that here because of all the hurricanes and earthquakes and everything else in between. seems the power always goes out and we all sit here and wonder if things are ok.
sorry to ramble again. hugs |

I hope you have instant messenger. Genreally it's not good to post your phone number. We do have threads on General from time to time about storms. Take care. |

I'm sending you a big pile of cuddle from the cellar. Sometimes it seems that we have to carry more than our fair share of hardships in life, but it makes us stronger in the long haul. As far as your sister goes, one of my bros was a crack addict. He lost everything. And that stuff turns them into monsters at times. But just pray for her to get better. It will take a lot of time and put pressure on everyone involved, but as long as they have someone on their side, it helps them. And your dm? I don't know the story, but I think I am reading this right. If it was his choice to go, then goodbye. You want someone who has your back. My last DM made that choice and I thought the world had ended. Then three years later, this DM came into my life and has made me realize all I was missing in the last one. If you want to vent, chat to try to forget the days troubles or just have a good laugh, you can join us in our daily chats. There is always someone online in the afternoon/evening hours and we have a pretty good time. I saw that Tosca has put up a link to her addy which is good [since anytime I try to do anything with the puter involving links and what not, I always create puter problems-sigh]. |

korkiemama, I'm sorry to hear about your depression. It makes it worse to deal with everything else you're going through. I know what you're going through with the depression. And one thing that's very important is never give up. I have bi-polar disorder and it took me 10 years to find the right diagnosis, dr. and meds. Actually, it's a combination of meds. If you're not already doing so, please find a psychiatrist that specializes in pharmacology. Primary care physicians are not as experienced in dealing with depression. There is no reason you should have to live with it. It is a chemical imbalance and there has to be something out there that will restore that balance. It may take a combination of drugs. I've also taken everything so I know it just makes you want to give up, but don't! Please chat when you have time--it will really help! Or, you can do what I do and go to Neopets or Pogo, LOL! I hope your sister is safe! There is so much damage there in Tx. Take care, and many hugs and nuzzles to you! Kathy |

cuddles sound really good right now slew. DM was just here and acted like he couldn't wait to get out of here. his family pressured him to go and stay at the farm and leave me in the process. they are just using him to do the work on the weekends when he is in town. they treat him like he's five years old. i do have a really good friend that wants me to get a divorce and marry him. but it's real hard to let go of your true love that you just spent 30 years with and raised kids and went through everything you could imagine together. he is like home to me. i don't think that he really wants a divorce. he seems like he is going through some inner struggles. he did say that he would go to a counselor with me. but there are no good ones around here.
kathy (my sister's name) i tried to go to a psychiatrist once and he didn't even talk to me. he just gave me some drugs and sent me home. i was so mad. $275 for that! i've always wondered if i was bi-polar. i have real bad lows to where i want to end it, and times like right now where i feel real good. when i don't get on the computer, that's when it's bad for me. i can't talk to anyone when i feel like that. it's been that way since i was young.
my meerfriend in texas is having it really bad right now and i just concentrate on her. at least i have electricity and food and water. she is in poor health and this on top of it is just not good.
god i sure ramble alot. |

korkie, I hope your friend in Tx gets her power back soon. They said it could be weeks for some. I can't imagine going through that. The psychiatrist you saw probably was a pharmocology specialist. They usually just dispense meds, and if you want therapy you need to see a separate psychologist (much cheaper). I don't do counseling, so I just see my doc for 15 mins every 3-4 months to make sure my meds are working. Like I said, it takes a LONG TIME to get to the right diagnosis and medication. You can always ask the dr. you're using now flat out if you may be bi-polar. The medications are different and he/she may try something else. I usually don't tell anyone about "my condition" but I trust everyone here and I hope I can help, even if just a little. You should try the counseling if your DM is willing to go with you. It may help you both to work on where your future is. I hope you're feeling okay today. |

korkiemoma, I hope you get better. Maybe you could go to someone and discuss what effect the meds had. You know, did any of them help, did they make certain symptoms worse. That would be the first step to getting the right meds and dose. I hope you find a counselor to go to with your DM, making a decision to divorce and leave someone you've spent so much of your life with is rash in your vulnerable emotional state. |

Dear Korkiemama, many more cuddles. It's a shame there aren't any counselors close to you. How far is the closest? My dm & I had to go 30 miles, into Columbia. I would have gone further if required. Can you family doctor help at all? My first dm was bipolar, but he didn't get help until several years after he left me. He says going on lithium made a total difference in his life. I understand there are more medicines available now. From observing him, I can empathise with what you are going through. But there is help out there, and you deserve it! |

korkiemama, Just wanted to say hello and see how you are doing. I haven't been chatting much lately, so I haven't seen you pop in. Please stop by chat sometime this weekend so we can catch up. We miss you! We are thinking of you and hope you are feeling better. It can be hard around the holidays. |
