Trying again... I hate to think that I went down without a fight...

There is an envelope icon at the top of the screen. Click that and you can start a conversation with a member. If you do that I will answer but you may not like what I say. I will be like your caring but stern auntie, dishing out tough love.

I cannot start a conversation with anyone because I'm too new (I think). If we do manage to do that (you could initiate a conversation, I think) feel free to say what you want. Make your love as tough as possible. I can take it! :)

And.... thanks for your concern.... auntie! :p

Well now, that's some good news.

I'll give it a go

I've had some extensive experience with down heads

Don't get me wrong, I'm no psychotherapist (like some on here profess they are)
I'm just mostly plain ol' psycho

Here's where you and I would go if you tried to hang around me, moping

I'd drag yer hind end to the edge of a cliff, and dangle you by yer ankles
...and if you were in a wheelchair, I'd loosely strap you in.....then dangle you by the wheels

Most folks I've dealt this therapy seem to suddenly cherish thoughts of living

Speaking of cherish, we have a dear member here that is wheelchair bound
but
nary a complaint
Just good stuff coming from him
(sorry @fuzzybuddy....but I consider you exemplary beyond any examples I can think of, and rather god like)

Anyway......you need something with which to be grateful....now

I can help

Wow, you're just ready to pounce, aren't you? Lol

Sure, why not? But you have to promise me one thing. You won't give in to depression. Not on our watch. :):)

Like someone in this thread said, you do write well. The good thing about being a writer is no life experience is wasted. All pain is material. Always remember that.

I hate losing good opportunities! :)

If your watch is anything like what I experienced today.... scouts honor ... I won't give in to depression!

I write... I don't think I write well... But I manage to make into words what's burning inside...

It's almost 6am and all I can think of is "More! More! More!"
I cried tears of loneliness...
I cried tears of gratitude...
I smiled...
and I found myself laughing...

I said it a few times... You, people are UNBELIEVABLE!

Thank you!
I mean.... THANK YOU!
 
Hey CAKCy, just catching up, I have been out of town a few days. Nothing useful I can add to the good advice you have already gotten, so this is just a welcome aboard, glad you are here message.

This is a great place to say what you feel, its pretty anonymous, and the people are friendly and helpful. In the end I am sure you can help others at least as much as people can help you.

It is rather hard for me to see how this is helpful.

Your welcome is useful enough and I thank you for that! I really hope I can find places where I can be of help to pay forward all the kindness I received by all of you people!
 
CA. Speaking from a poet’s perspective, you paint striking pictures with words. I can “ see” your emotions. Please nurture that wondrous gift. It touches people, reaching beyond the barriers of pandemic isolation. Even in your darkest themes, there is a stark beauty, raw and honest in its intensity. I cried. 🤗

You obviously can move people with your words. Look how many people replied to your post. :)

I think the reason so many people replied to my post was because I replied to each and everyone of them personally, which kept the thread on top for a long time. But I appreciate your effort to convince me that my words move people. We won't know until we talk :)

I have read some of your poems. That was enough to tell me that I'm in the junior league (and if that). You are right about one thing though. What comes out is raw, unrefined, untouched. I express myself a lot better in my mother tongue...
 
Alligatorob said:
Of course they do, Jennina is right, rarely does a post, particularly someone new's post get the kind of response you have. You are articulate and have something to say, it impresses folks.

I'm not trying to play it modest here. Comparing my words to some others' I have a long way to go. But thank you for your kind words.
