Fat life=Big hole=Ready to die...

Patrick, 4 words to say. I AM WORTH IT. Repeat these over and over. Please know there is treatment for depression. Call someone, or you can call your local hospital and they can give you a number so you can talk to someone in complete confidentiality. You have reached out to the people on this board and we will reach out to you. You do have a purpose here, you might not have found it yet but it is there waiting to be discovered. I hope you will get help for yourself and I am sending a prayer your way. Robin

Patrick, Don't give up, as others said, we understand, but you'll be surprised by what can happen. After my third denial, I felt like giving up too, but then my spouse got a new insurance and I was covered- my point is that you never know what the future brings, hang in there and follow the advice of the people here who are standing with you! As the Japanese say....Ganbate, (or hang in there). Rob C.

Patrick....PLEASE call your Local Hospital, they will direct you in the right direction. I have been there. I know just how you feel. I was and I still am out of work. Being Obese is not just a Physical Problem, it is an Emotional and Mental one as well. You CAN get help from your State. I was able to get Medicaid from My home State, they led me to my Psychatrist and Therapist.... as well as WLS. Also if you are unable to work because of your weight and Mental health, you should apply for SSI and SSDI, there are MANY Programs out there to help you. You just need to Pick up the Phone, Call and ask for help, People are out there ready to help you. PLEASE Hang in there. If I can do ANYTHING, or you just need a Friend to talk to, Please drop me an e-mail. As I said previously, I have been there. You are Not alone. Please get the help you Deserve! You are worth it! Everything will be Okay, you just need help and Guidance. You are in My Prayers. Michele
