Re: i need a hug!

Welcome to the single life bro, going through it myself. Everyday's a struggle but keep your chin up, you've only got yourself to trudge through the madness and you can't allow yourself to bring you down. I know it's hard, I try it everyday, but there is no other way out.

I don't guarantee time will heal it all, it will certainly make it easier to live with.

Re: i need a hug!

So sorry to hear that. I went through some shit in the past year too and I can only repeat the cliche, sometimes it does get better, if not time helps.

Re: i need a hug!

thanks everyone. its been really hard. i have a good therapist finally and the drugs I'm supposed to take are working i think.

it makes me feel good that you are all still here and that you give a fuck.

I'm just trying to do the best i can with the hand I'm dealt.

my son is awesome. he's learning to count. he goes 1 2 3 4 6 and cracks up. claps and runs off. he is keeping me sane.

[URL="http://www.oldtimestrongman.com/strength-articles/iron-henry-rollins"]The gym always helps[/URL]! It gives you goals and routines and can be quite meditative. Jogging too. As long as you keep yourself active.

Re: i need a hug!

Come on buddy, Stay strong and take care of your kid, best of luck for you.

Re: i need a hug!

Pipey, it's been a long time since I seen you around these parts. Does sound like you've had a lot going on.

Therapy can be a very rewarding and liberating experience - best of luck with it. Stay strong and take good care of yourself.

im so stoked for you man. enjoy your new house and your family.

God is good but he sometimes doesnt always feel like that! but i have faith ill pull through

Re: i need a hug!

so sorry to hear that, man. I almost remember every thread in MS about getting married and about having kids, and thinking "some day I´ll post stuff like that" with a big smile in my face. It´s good you´re cleaning up and working out, that helps a lot. Besides therapy, you could try some spiritual activity... from yoga to whatever you like. It worked good for me through hard times. Just my thoughts, anyways, keep strong, man! Hope there´s something big coming ahead for you :David:

Big hug from the other side of the globe Pipey. Life can be hard sometime but it's good to know that you can turn to people, even strangers like me to cheer you a bit in those dark moments.
