Major Meltdown

I completely understand. This is just how I've been feeling lately. How can I offer support and encouragement to others when I feel like a failure? I'm NOT saying you are a failure, just how I've felt recently. You are such an inspiration on this board. Take your time, read posts, ignore posts, hate posts, lol. We'll be here when it all gets sorted out for ya Mandy

Ruth, I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of {{{{{hugs and love}}}}}}}!!! You are amazing and I hope you'll vent here when you need to ! Kathryn

RuthyGirl! I'm going to be your harsh reality for today! You cut your crap and stand your ground. If you leave here what will you gain, we are your strength when you feel weak, we are your cheering squad when you feel down and out. We are willing to laugh with you and cry with you, through good times AND bad times, that, my dear, is what friends are for. I'm sure i'm not the only one who will miss you too much if you decide to take some time off. We're not asking you to cheer for us we are asking you to show up and put in some effort. Now you listen up and listen up good, this is not a diet this is a way of life...you can no longer take it out on yourself with food. What are your hobbies, what do you do when life is too stressful, I took a great yoga class yesterday, I'd like to take it again it was that much fun? I want you to do something tonight that is just for you, take a bath, polish your toes (you can reach those lil piggies now) shave your hoohoo, pluck your eyebrows but whatever you do has to be just for you, dance to your favorite music, brew a cup of tea and read the funnies, get a romance novel and read it in your fluffy jammies on the couch! You are a wonderful friend to me and sugar I NEED YOU! Hugs, ANDI

Here here andi... I agree one hundred percent..

I'm sending you big huge hugs!!! I hope everything starts to look up for you really soon!!! You are such a sweetheart and things will get better...You deserve the very best!!! HUGS!!! Bobbie

Ruth, Please take care. I've come to enjoy your perspectives and wit. I will miss you. Diane

serious hugs. sorry I am not here to help. have lots of drama here at home. suffice to say, everyone gets a plate full from time to time, that which does not kills us, makes us stronger. kat
