what do you do....

When you are stressed? I used to eat. Now I just want to cry. I want to just get away from the situation causing the stress. I just really have no clue what to do. Any ideas?

I used to fall back on my bed. Kick and scream as hard as I could. Get up straighten out my clothes and walk away as if nothing has happen. I haven't done that in a long long time. Things must be working out ok. Or I have scared everybody so they are afraid to stress me out any more. I know they are whispering "you know that lady is KRAZY"

thank you thank you for making me want to smile. It really is not a bad idea

I am struggling with this too, this past weekend was hard I was really ready to commit suicide and I am not playing. I really think I need to see somebody and soon. I have realized not being able to bury my sorrows in food is really starting to cause some major issues for me.

Oh wow Ebony please don't talk like that. Hurry and see somebody. I see you on the Black America but I seldom go there and have never post there. I guess too busy running my head over here. Besides all of you beautys look like babies to this old lady

Girl you are only as old as you feel! And the BAF board ranges in age, I truly think I am the youngest person on that board. I know I need to see someone I have to take care of me, one day at a time is how I am trying to do it.

Hi, Ebony! I just read your profile and you look totally WONDERFUL!!! You have really shrunk... Please don't give up on this wonderful opportunity to live your life to the fullest. Dealing with depression is really tough; I have been there as well. But we CAN and we WILL move forward and onward to a better, happier, and more satisfying life! You are in my prayers... HUGS, Pat

TY for the compliments! I am trying and I do mean TRYING to stay positive, but, this has been a LONELY road for me and truthfully, its starting to get the best of me.

Just don't give up, please. I am in therapy and take medication for my depression. Our road CAN be lonely, and it can frustrate us. Try some therapy if you possibly can, either with a therapist or with a minister. We DESERVE to have that wonderful life that is ahead of us! HUGS, Pat

Exercise. Take up a hobby. Punch a pillow. Have sex. Read a good escape book. Go to your favorite park or woods. Go to the ladies' room and bat your head against the wall... Send your enemies anonymous subscriptions to inappropriate magazines...at their work addresses.... Well, some of these suggestions are serious. It was Petty's fault, for putting me in a silly mood... Lastly, get someone to hug you! HUGS! Pat
