Thanks...

It seems like whenever trials come up I always abandon the people and places that I get the most support from. Outside of my family and church, the BOTT board is my biggest support. The people here know the issues I am dealing with and many are dealing with the same things.

I want to say thank you to all those who emailed me while I was AWOL and to those that answered my post for prayer. Things are going a LOT better and I truly believe that part of the reason is because of my extended OH family.

I just want take second to ask anyone who is dealing with depression or any issue that they feel is getting the best of them to seek help. It takes a strong person to admit they need help. We have all faced this when we decided to pursue WLS and it is no differant when we pursue help in other areas of our lives.

My prayer is that as we continue to deal with issues of being successful at WLS, we will not neglect our inner selves. Take time to evaluate where you are at and learn to love yourself where you are. Dont neglect the inside while working on the outside.

You not only are strong, Wayne, you are wise.   Please continue to utilize the care you are offered and come often to this site.   Know that you have my thoughts and prayers.

Wayne I too suffer from Anxiety, and deppression. Those things often make it so hard to reach out for help. It is the nature of the disease. I am so glad you were able reach out and get the help you needed, and hope others who see your post will do the same.

Wayne,
Thanks for the wise words.
