I feel compelled

I do not know why but I feel compelled to let any one that might be feeling depressed right now, know that I am offering my hand to hold if they need a life line.

I often struggle with depression myself. I have always found that just knowing there is someone else out there, that understands the feelings of hopelessness and despair caused by depression, to be helpful. I do not necessarily want to talk to that person, I just like knowing that I am not alone in how I feel. It is like having a hand to hold or getting a gentle hug. So I am offering that hand to hold or that gentle hug that might be needed. We are not alone

There is a wave of warmth coming from your post. Thank you for that! What a coincidence to read your post, the moment after I finished mine, talking about the times, when my life just seems to stop for years, again and again.

Nikki I am so glad that you were able to feel the warmth and concern offered in my post.

[this is good]

Awesome sentiment.

very nice. i've suffered -- better the word "endured" -- severe/immobilizing/debilitating depression most of my life (and remember the specific incident that made me aware of it). thank you for posting.

Here's another hand to hold and I'll send along a great big hug, too. I'm sort of in the same boat tonight. I went to a Christmas party, and sat for two hours with a group of people that I seemed to have nothing in common with. I might as well have been an alien! It wasn't that it wasn't interesting, but I might as well have been with strangers. It might have been better if they had been strangers. Anyway, enough of that. I get to go to work tomorrow. It will be a good day. Hope you have one, too!

thank you Country.

I know what you mean about feeling like a stranger at certain functions even when you are with people that you do know.

I am still working so that is a good thing, hope you have a good day too.

I try to take one day at a time, and remember to count my blessings.

I feel compelled
