It was fun
 
:cry: I will be taking a brief period of time away from the sites. I might check on my bb at times . However other things call for my attention. I don't do this by choice but I must.

Paul, hang in there and let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

May you be renewed in strength and your health (and back) restored.

Hate to loose touch with one of the family.

Take care and god bless.

Kingfish,

Take care man. I know what you are going thru, I too suffer from mass depression and high anxiety disorder. Sometimes there will be the urge to do 'something', because you see no way out. Try not to give into that 'urge'.

I have come close to giving in to those 'urges' of suicide. It took close friends, time to think, and many times a tv show/book or something else to bring me back from that fearful edge.

It will never go away, that depression and anxiety, you just have to find something, anything(except drugs) to bring you back. To give you hope to live on that extra minute, hour, day, week, or month(however long it may take) until the feeling of depression and anxiety leaves you and you can operate normally. For me, it was as I said, friends, time, a story to which I can escape, and now a nephew(6 Months Old) that I wish to live for and see grown into a man. Maybe, even have some of my own.

I hope you have found yours my friend, and I hope you can continue to find it for many years to come.


With Utmost Respect,

Dragon Lord Tibbetts

gmd3d June 18th, 2005 03:23 PM

Kingfish I don't have such difficults myself and can only understand slightly through your and Dragonlords words what your going through. just want to say we are here for you and when time get tough post a message and have a chat .

kingfish June 19th, 2005 02:22 PM

Thanks for the encouragement. It is like an uphill battle, one I must win. As far as suicide, I am afraid to die.

gmd3d June 19th, 2005 02:41 PM

Great to hear that Kingfish. yet I hope you have that something that Dragon Lord suggests to get you over those tough times. ping pong may help but you need two people, Kicking butt as Stevew suggest is also a multi player sport???
I will have to get back to you with a less painfull hobby because ping pong is such a pain.. I would go for the butt kicking
for now

Unfortunately, i'm not. For me, it would be a release an escape from life. But now that I have my nephew, that urge seems to be reduced.

And you're right, it is an uphill battle. You feel like everything is pressing down upon you and you have no way out. The only options(for me anyway) are to climb out, digging and scratching the entire way. Or, go the death route.

I'm glad that you are afraid of that route and never contemplate it my friend.



With Respect,

Well thanks to the lords of kobol I am feeling much better. The medication that they gave me seems to be doing the job for now.

Stevew July 1st, 2005 05:06 AM

Great to hear you are feeling better KF
S :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

julix July 1st, 2005 06:40 AM

that is great Paul :)

jewels July 1st, 2005 08:54 AM

LAT & Paul,
Hang in there, those dark places will only make the dawn that much brighter, really. I've had my struggles with depression, mostly seasonal type and it is worth it to claw your way back.

This is a song I heard a few years ago by a Christian singer/songwriter that I thought was pretty profound (especially because it was actually recorded on a mainstream Christian album and those record companies haven't always let artists show that they are this human.)

(chorus) : I promise I will always leave
The darkness for the light
I swear by all that's holy
I will not give up the fight
I'll drink down death like water
Before I ever come again
To that dark place
Where I might make
the choice for life to end

I've found that as I've traveled
Through the inscape of my life
That mountain tops make valleys in between
And when that nameless sadness
Like a cloud comes over me
I look back on all the brightness I have seen

(chorus repeats)

bridge: And realize that though my world
Might seem so torn apart
Most often it is joy that breaks the heart
and that I am the richest man
Though I must beg for bread
For the very one who might condemn
Has called me friend instead

(chorus repeats)

I will always leave the darkness for the light
I will not give up the fight

I hope there is some encouragement, somehow in that.

Tibbetts July 2nd, 2005 11:01 AM

Paul: Glad you're feeling better man. I hope that you feel that way for a long time. :D


Jewels: Thanks for that. But, sometimes, when you are in that 'dark place', the light seem so damn far away as to be unreachable. Last night, I felt it again. And today, I feel it still lurking, waiting to hit me again. As long as I'm doing something, it stays away, but, whenever I stop and just think for a bit, my thoughts turn to it again.

That is one reason why I left CA(for a little while, hopefully). The cynicism I kept reading didn't seem to help. Even here at Colonial Fleets, there are places I try not to go, and certain peoples posts I try not to read. For the past few months, my depression has been on a hair trigger. I read something and BAM! I'm in the "dark place". I try not to be. I hate being there. But, it's where I go.

That's why I can't wait for some of my favorite shows to once again air. SG-1/SGA, TNS-Galactica. They help me escape from the thoughts that will take me to that 'dark place'.

Once again, thanks Jewels. It's great to know that there is someone that knows what I am going thru.


Take care,


Dragon Lord Tibbetts
