Keep Going
 

I LOVE YOU

Everyone of you are so special, so real, so caring. Thank you times 10,000. Who can have a dry eye reading your beautiful words?

I'm doing better. At work today, I wanted to cut my arm real bad, but I remembered what the crisis line said to do. I rubbed an ice cube over the spot I wanted to cut. It numbed it and it helped. An hour later, I wanted to cut again, so I did the ice cube thing again. It worked!

I made it all day today without cutting myself! I just started listening to music at work today--old cassettes. It's a good sign when I put on my rock and roll shoes. I turned Joe Cooker's "A Little Help From My Friends" full bore and cried tears of joy this time. That song is so true.

My Pixie friends. You are all the greatest! You are real, honest, warm people who kick and scream sometimes and struggle with life, but you keep going. I admire that in all of you. You keep going. I want to keep going.

I Really Love You,
Larry

I'm so glad to hear you had a better day. Even more glad to know that you're reaching for life, taking the steps you need to to get through the day. I know I'm one of the first to read your post today and I'm grinning just a little; yesterday I watched the wave of support go 'round the globe as people came to the site. Today I get to see them check in and cheer you on.

Take care of yourself, Hon. We're all pulling for you!!

Good on you Larry - keep progressing and if you get down read the posts full of caring for you.

I am awfully proud to be a part of a group of such great human beings and we count you in that buddy.

Take care

Way to go Double L...I've always said rock & roll had healing powers...keep us posted, ok? We want to hear about your good days, & help u thru the bad ones...

Hi Larry,
Gosh it's good to hear that you were so successful fighting the urge to cut yourself! I'm glad you checked in here tonite as you've been on my mind over the last day or so.

Did I tell you to about the title of this post? I know you probably didn't mean for it to have any meaning, but.......it really struck me, sort of funny but also very heartfelt. There was something that set my heart to aching when I first saw the "I fell down and maybe broke something" only to realize how much YOUR HEART WAS breaking about your own problems and struggles.

Now when I see the title, it makes me smile for some reason. Probably because you posted how brutal you've felt lately, and yet you titled this not really wanting to scare anyone initially. Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, I'm babbling. Hope your Friday goes well for you. *big squashy hugs*

I am so proud of you for listening to that crisis line hon! Your post sounds like you're feeling a tad better and I am so thankful for that.

LarryL, I want you to be sooo happy in everything you do in life. You're an angel.

Love ya

LarryL,

I hadn't listened to "A Little Help From My Friends" in years. After reading your post, I dug it out and played it.

Cool.

Thanks

Glad to see you respond to the thread and I'm even more glad to hear you called a crisis line and took their advice. Hang in there Larry, take it one day at a time. Look for things throughout your day when you can say to yourself, "I'm GLAD I was am here for this." Hold on to the memory of each moment and remember them when you're feeling down. Keep us posted, good days or bad, alright? And keep wearing dem Rock 'n Roll shoes! :D

Larry,

Thank you sooooo much for checking back in. I, we, have been worried about you. Please do me a HUGE favor...check in with us everyday. Let us know if it's good or bad, how it's going and what you are doing to make it through. Make it your daily mission to check in with us, OK. It gives us reassurance and it gives you purpose. Plus, keep that number to the crisis line handy. Call them when you need to. They helped once, they can help again. Keep up the good work man!

I second Daroogle's plea. We don't see enough of you as it is Larry ;) .

I'll forgive you if you can't make it in to touch base with us, but I'll definately be looking to see if you did.

So glad to hear from you Larry and see that today is better for you. Its all about one day at a time.

I have a 20 year old girl friend that cuts herself. After months of her friends begging her to go get help she finally did and is now on medication. She uses the ice too and will buzz me late at night if it gets bad before she cuts. Sometimes after she cuts but at least she is trying to reach out instead of holding it all in.

Lean on your friends Larry. That is what they are for. :)

"I get by with a little help from my friends....."

((((Larry))))

Great song! And you have so many friends here Larry!! :)

So happy to hear you had a better day. :D

Take it one day at a time and know we're here for you.

Thank you for coming back. I'll sleep better tonite knowing you're ok. :)
Yes please come every day. I do. :)

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))

Even though I am a guy I will still send a hug or two your way. You may not realize it sometimes, but you have taken a big step by including us in your life. Even if a lot of us are silent most of the time. But by admitting to us that you are having a bad day, you will get the support and love that you need to strengthen you to go on for another day. I lost a cherished uncle to depression and other problems, so I kind know what your battles are. But by coming here everyday, even for a little bit, post something somewhere and I can gaurentee that someone will reply and make it all worthwhile. So welcome to the biggest disfunctional family there is, and know that we all love you, even if we are silent. :hug:

Life is a journey - who knows why and for what reasons things happen??? Ups and downs are part of it for all of us and I'm sure there are days we all feel we've reached our breaking point...

Times like these - you try to forge ahead, knowing and hoping something better awaits you further along in the journey but you need to continue the journey to find out what it is....

Along the way you meet people; friends, who don't judge, but just understand and come along for the ride....these are the people who can help guide you through your personal journey and love and respect you for who you are.

Keep your chin up and a smile on your face - your friends here will always be here for you....
