Dano there are many who view you as full of beauty and exquisite creativity who have no desire to cut you loose...

Depression blackens the thoughts. Hang in there Dano. You are none of those things.

Oh dear...

Remember that this is temporary. You are not your emotions (a DBT thing, but useful).

it's a feeling most of us have had I'm sure...

I often feel in my incapacity I cannot be a good friend...

but you clearly are a good friend to the people who love you...and to many here who read you.

trust that.

and see if you can find some compassion for your suffering...you deserve love like everybody does...and sometimes we need to find it in ourselves first...cliche but true...

I know that feeling so well. I'm sorry you are there right now.

Not a chance, Dano. Not a chance. *hugs*

I hope you feel better.

It's going around, that killer mood. *hugs*

Thank you all so much for your compassion and understanding. I will try to visit with you soon.

Been there...far more times than I'd like to recall....
Depression sucks, but try to remember that depression is what it is...it's not you and it's not the world...

"cutting you loose" would be a grave disservice to myself. I add to the voices that say: Not A Chance, Dano.

You speak the truth. I just wonder how much more of this I can take. I see moments of light in a future of darkness.

Honestly, I would cash it in right now, if I wasn't concerned about Cricket and my cats.

I mean really, what is the point? This mortal coil is just a moment in the journey. Why cling to it?

How sweet of you. I just want people to steer clear of my sinking ship. To not be drowned by my black hole.
