This is just a short call out to friends I haven't contacted

 I have several friends here (whether so noted in OH or not) who I regularly try to stay in contact with through OH or through e-mil.  I feel that other men who suffer from similar mental illnesses to mine should at least contact each other and provide some support to each other.  

I know that I don't fair well on the mental health forum.  I used to try the addictions forum but it did not include food addictions.  So, to those of you who I have failed to contact recently, have hope at this time of the year.  I'm lucky enough to be feeling pretty good right now.  If you are not, please contact me and we can talk about it through Contacts or E-mail.  The holiday season does bring additional stress for many people.  And, if you are feeling depressed, you may feel even further alone while everyone else is seemingly having such a good time.  Remember that feelings are only feelings.  I know it sounds weird.  Sometimes we just have to contact someone else to unburden ourselves of these feelings.  The other person usually only has to listen.  Peace, Love, & Joy   Bob

Happy holidays and happy new year SJB!
