IF you decide to call number I think Dr. Phil is a CBT (cognitive behavior therapist) so you could request a therapist from the same school of thought as Dr. Phil... Best of luck for whatever you decide is best for you. Hugs and prayers, SEA
Let us all know what you decide to do so we can support you in anyway we can... Hugs and prayers Mary ann

Depression

Quote From: makenah

Whitney:  Hang in there!  We all have those days, today and all of last week were mine.  And then my sister called me names that will never go away.  I just asked her to please loose my phone number and leave me alone.  That is better than hurrassing me...

 

I will pray for all of us tonight... it is easier helping others, since I cannot seem to help myself.

Hugs to Whitney.... hang in there... We will all have good news some day, and then we will get to go on the "appreciation board"  I do appreciate ALL OF YOU, AND WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME. 

 

MARY ANN

Mary Ann:

 

I will hang in here. Yeah everyone has those days. Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I will hang in here. But yeah I hope we have good news someday. But yeah please comment me back. I am thankful for everything god has given me to!!!! By the way I went driving again tonight for the 2nd time since I have had my permit!!!

Depression

Quote From: yesyoucan

You could call a chaplain at hospital or church and seek counsel or ask a minister to go up to visit with Shane. Mainly, though, you have LOTS on your plate right now. You have to think about how you'd be perceived by those you have to see every day and if going to see Shane is going to cause a lot of repercussions. Personally, then, I think Shane would want you to do what is best for you and if he doesn't you should. You are under immense pressure. He has lawyers and you cannot fix in a visit what took a lot of years to break. I'm certain you thanked Shane when he helped you. You already have lots troubling you so not sure if adding Shane to the list is a good idea. That's what I think yet I'm not you.

When someone does something for you as a gift, such as Shane helping you, it doesn't mean you owe person something especially if would put your own well being at risk. If you want to be a character witness you could call his defense attorney to see if you can speak in Shane's behalf. However, you better be sure your family is on board and, quite frankly, I'm not certain you are up to it. Perhaps, his lawyer could take an affidavit from you to present to judge during sentencing. I can see where you are coming from...just not sure either where you should go with your feelings except do what you can live with and if you are going to cause problems for yourself visiting Shane or being in court room likely not in your best interest. You are under a lot of pressure... Choose wisely. That's all I'll say except my prayers are with you. I think anyone would feel panicked by such dreadful news. That's an enormous crying shame for sure...in more ways than one. (((HUGs))) SEA
yes it is a shame on both parts. the family of his friend that died is suffering. i know that. is feel so bad for all of them. they lost a son, brother, and a friend. i didnt know him but i am sure he was a nice person. i just feel like i should be there for shane. even only for one visit. billy will be there with me. i just need to know that he is doing ok. well as good as can be expected. he has nobody there for him. i was even thinking of going for the one visit to check on him. i will explain to him why i am there, tell him that there is alot going on right now with me, give him a hug and tell him i love him. i will give im my address and we can write to each other. i dont know if they have access to computers in jail but we could do the email thing if possible. i know that i have to concintrate and getting myself better and i was doing so well for a couple of days. it is nice. i am not back to where is was but i am not as happy either. i am really worried about our friend. he has had it so rough and i am afriad of what will happen to him in jail. i know that it sounds like he is a monster but he really isnt. he is a good guy that made a horrible mistake. things got way out of hand. i am just thinking one visit for now and if i feel like it later then i will make another. the picture of him on the news going into the court house last week was awful. his face was all burised up. big black eye and swollen jaw. i just cried. 2 of my daughters cried as well. they know what happened because it was on tv, radio and in the news paper. if i do go to visit i will not tell anyone at work. they will not understand. they dont know him so of course they are thinking the worst of him. they were all sitting around the table at lunch. it was hard not to tell them he isnt like the way they think but i just sat there. we dont know what happended. we werent there. anyway i should go now. it is freezing here today. i made the kids stay home from school. to cold for them to walk. it was really cold in work too. i think i need a bath. i will try to log on later but incase i dont get a chance too good nite all. monica

I FEEL LIKE I'M INVISIBLE

Have you ever felt insignificant like people can look right through you, like you are not even there?  Like when I take my daughter to the dance school, everybody sits together at their tables with their little gangs, talking and having coffee and stuff, and organizing trips to competitions together, and there's never any room for you. They invite themselves to little get togethers, breakfast and lunch etc...etc.... I walk in and they don't even acknowledge by presence, I may as well not even be there. Maybe I should just sit in my car for the hour or so.

Like at work today, people were discussing, all the job cuts and layoffs, and the sales guys, the production manager and the costing manager. Were talking about my other two co-workers.  Quote from 1 of them. '' If he cuts of my two favorites, he is gonna here it from me. I am not gonna let him do that. Not my two pets.''  I may as well not be there either.

I feel like I don't belong anywhere, like my presence and my life make no difference to anyone.  Like nobody cares.

My morale was up but now it's lower than low.
