Major Meltdown

I am having a major meltdown - family stress, :evil: evil scales and so much more. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all your support and friendship. It means so much to me. I'm really sorry, but I don't have anything to give others right now, so want to take some time out. I'll still be here reading, and hopefully will contribute, but not as often as I usually do or as often as I'd like to. You all are so wonderful and I feel bad not being able to support you guys like you do me. I know you'll understand.

I'm sorry you're dealing with so much now, we are here for you! BIG HUGS!

We love you Ruth! Take all the time you need, and know we'll be thinking about you. Hugs, Dar

Oh Sweetie!! I so understand !!! Just know we are here for you!!! I too backed away over the stressful holidays & family issues & dealing with issues of my surgery complications!!! I missed you guys something fierce I just didn't know how to jump back in!! But I am here now!! Take the time you need Just be sure to come back to us!!!(((HUGS))) ~Missy~

Welcome Back Missy Ann i speak for everyone when i say we missed you and please don't block us out again! We stay strong through our support of one another. We can't support you if we don't know that you are in trouble. I'm on this computer night and day so if you need me i'm an email away and I've got free long distance i'll call you every 20 minutes if you need me to....you're kids are gonna be calling me Aunt Andi by the end of your time of need! Keep in mind this comes at a price, on 3/2 i'm going to need you call to get me through the day and i'm going to be here and i'm going to be crying...so prepare accordingly. Hugs, ANDI

Honey.. I know that in life times like this comes and goes.. I hope yours will too. Real life has a way of taking a toll on us I know.. remember we are here for you.. if you need anything just drop us a line.. Do what you need to do to take care of things.. be good to yourself and know that when your ready we will be right here waiting for you.. your in my thoughts and prayers... we love you very much...

you take care.

Sorry to hear you are having a bad time,hopefully things come out all right for you! I agree with you about the scales being evil,the more I am stressed,which I am right now,seems the more I can eat! I have a 34 year old son that won't grow up thats in a halfway house right now and thinks we owe him the world!! Then I have a 89 year old father-in-law that is needing knee surgery and it is not going to happen in the shape hes in right now. Don't really think his heart will make it. Then my husband thats NEVER been in trouble in the 37 years we have been married,got into a scuffle with the police last year over something stupid...21 days after my surgery.. Went to court and has to serve 45 days in jail!!!! I am so bummed....all I want to do is eat and I don't want to fall back into my bad habits!! I used to smoke 5 years ago and thats one bad habit I DON'T want to go back to. My husband fell back into it after he got into trouble over this. Then I constantly b...h at him for it and he gets mad at me!!! The life!! I could write a book,keep thinking things will get better some day!! But anyway hope to hear from you soon....take care!!

((((((((((Karen))))))))))))) sounds like you've got a boat load of bull**** coming down the pike, none of which is your fault! I want you to take a deep breathe and remember that these are only peripherally your problems, you did not create them and you can not control them. You can only do what's best for Karen not for everyone else and Karen has to stay strong and focused in a world that is chaotic. What are you going to do for yourself to stay strong and focused, read a good book, go for a walk, call up a friend, write a poem or story, cuddle a small child (preferably one you know people frown on random cuddlings), take a bubble bath, pluck your eyebrows, polish your toes, try on new make up, get a new lipstick or hair color? Hugs, ANDI

(((((Ruth!))))) You are such a sweetheart! I wish there was something I could do or say to help you through this time. Just know that we are all here for YOU and we love you to pieces! You are such a dear person and you know we all love ya! Deanna
