  Alyss, I have felt like you too in the past.  I think you need to do something right now just to get your mind off (even for a while) whatever it is that is driving you distraction.  As you know, ending it all is NOT an option.  You are a fighter and a winner. . .this too shall pass.  Grab a book and go and lie a nice warm bath or watch something attention grabbing on telly.  You just need to breath, as you said.  Even have a beer or glass of wine to calm down.  I will be thinking of you!!!!  Hang on in there. . .you are too precious to be lost.

  [Hugs] love...  No busses.  No.  Absolutely not.  <Sharing my love and patience and strength with you>
   
  I know you are tired of dealing with all of it, but you are doing a good job.  Please don't let the setbacks keep you from seeing that, love.  I know you care.  I know you can see it through.  I believe in you.
   
  I don't blame you for wanting to throw in the towel, but you need to take a moment to regroup.  Take a few deep and calming breaths.  And remember that you are not alone, love. 
   
  I love you.  And I believe in you.  Hang in there, beloved...

  polar, I'm sorry for worrying you. I will be alright, it might take a while and I might have to stamp on the frustration and upset violently to pack it away in my head and have to lock it up tight but I will be alright.
  
  ET, I promise I will not do anything drastic.

  Alyss, i can totally understand your thoughts. Ive felt them myself many atime, and still strugle with it. Ive thought about it myself, stepping in front of a bus, many times. even recently, but i cannot do it. there are people who care about you, and willing to help with your troubles, this i have seen. Hang in there.

  Alyss....i have never considered, not even remotely, the idea of throwing myself under a bus...but not formulating the thought doesn't mean one doesn feel the same burden and the suffocating paralysis of a life that doesn't give you anything.....i mean... anything to smile about ...

  Listen to ET..he loves you so much, he will support you when you fall, he is there.....

  Hold on and take a deep breath...and vent ...simply writing down makes you feel better..

  and we do care....{{{{hug}}}

  Alright. Who is it and where's my cleaver?

  Tell 'em to go to HELL!  And while they're at it could they stop and pick up some Ben and Jerry's on the way back?
   
  I'm just trying to lighten the mood. 
   Remember, this too, shall pass.

  I will say what others have told me in recent weeks It will get better. The burden does get heavy and it always seems like you are the only one carrying the load. I hate that feeling, I'm walking around with a dark cloud over my head, and it's raining down with torrential force and the rest of the world has bright sunshine. I know I have been helped so much by the folks of SC. Lean on them they are very wise and supportive.

  ed, demoralised doesn't come close sadly.
  
  ginger, thank you for understanding. I feel a bit like the wight of the world is on me and that there's not too much left that hasn't already gone wrong. Writing does help.
  
  LG I'm afraid I can't let you take a hatchet to the person in question. I'd have to stand in the way and have you use the cleaver on me first.
  
  pickers, Gods I can't remember the last time i had icecream let alone decent icecream! And yes, this too will pass. Eventually.
  
  namyogrl thank you for stopping by. It is a bit like drowning but I am an excellent swimmer so eventually I will reach the calm again.

  I think everyone has those days where you want to scream, "Stop the world, I want to get off NOW!"  I know I sure do.  Sometimes it seems those days pile one on top of the other, day after day.  The good thing is that, in the end, everything eventually works out in some way for a reason.  :)

• silverwhisper said on Sep 26, 2007....

  i can think of nothing to say, alyss, except for this:
