Come on you guys, stop being so pessimistic. It's catching for others who read this falsehood. Start listing the good things about you. Prove to yourself and others that another person can be happy with you.

Thanks for sharing. Yes it can be difficult to let go of an abusive relationship while you don't see, or remind yourself, of the abuse.  Hope you will always view that past relationship as a whole. As a whole, it was unhealthy, and potentially lethal.  The guy loses the plot, and when lost...

What is admin doing about it? They have not even made a comment after all this time. Seems like they still don't know, for I am sure they would have corrected it and made an announcement (I would think). Maybe we really are alone.  ;)

I've been stuck in alcoholism for about the same length of time. I was told that if I worked at changing my whole life around, it ought to take about one month for every year of being stuck. So I worked really hard, and felt so much better after a three months. Could not believe it could get...

That is an interesting perception. Thanks for sharing.  It is good that you can see your own interpretations of/in a painting, and get something out of it that is yours.

If it was easy nobody would be feeling like you do. If you have been stuck for over three months, it's naturally going to be difficult to get unstuck. But guess what, if you don't get unstuck you will be stuck for the rest of your life. Yep, that long. Only you can create a change of attitude...

Small steps, one at a time. Make a short doable list. Easiest firts. Tick them off as you go along. First on the list is to write a short list. Keep chipping away at it, like a sculpture. Remember you are in a rut. It takes great effort to get out of it the first time (first day). Every morning...

Decided to paint a lanscape of my mind that represents how I was feeling inside. On completion I discovered how quiet and still it was, quite frank actually. So I called it Point Frank for many years. Later I renamed it ... Serenity (3 x 3 feet).

Great contribution to the thread. Thank you so much. Funny about the goose, for I had one too, from an egg. Mother goose disappeared, but found one egg. Gave it to our hen who was sitting on her eggs. The goose egg, oddly enough, hatched at same time as the others. So goose chick was raised by...

Welcome bfc1001. Hope you will find what you are looking for. IMHO. As mentioned above, it is advised to stay with the prescribed dosage of antidepressant. However, there may be a way to get around this to a lesser degree, or completely. First of all, remain on your current antidepressant...

Welcome Glear61. Sorry to read that you are married and feel all alone. If you are still living with your partner, I know it can be tough being in a non-relating relationship; as strange as that may seem. Yet it is quite common. May you find what you are looking for, even if it's not what you...

Welcome LostInLimbo, may you find the courage to take a daily risk in your life. It will surely break the mold you have created for yourself. Take a risk and go for a walk outside, especially in the rain without a raincoat or umbrella. Take a risk to say hello to someone you meet, even if it's...

Discovered that most people only find one or two close friends in their life. Others are aquaintances. Also, that close friend may not be a large part of our own life, unless your life long partner is your close friend. I find a close friend is one where you can be with, in tranquility, nearly...

Been there, done that. Then came to a point where I had to change or die (soon) the way I was. Most humans have to experience ego-deflation at depth, and even then, some need to be mangeled (from self-sabotage) before being willing to go to any lengths to change. Some don't. It is never that...

Work changed and became unemployed for a while, as a result I relocated to cheaper accommodations. It was an all in one room place, with security bars on the windows. Oh, how diiferent city life can be to the wilderness. To help me cope, I decided to do a landscape. But I could not get out of...

Learn from your past to better your future. Depression has its roots grounded in the past. It contains all the things that did not go your way. Lessons learnt are those things that will serve you to accept things that won't go your way now or in the future.  Life is like an experiment...

Time to get up and start making changes in your life. Where you are now, nothing is changing. If nothing changes, nothing changes. I don't know your background, and what you have done. So I will assume you have not done much since leaving school. Usually, a girl, or anybody really, admires a...

Thanks for asking. Please share what you thought it means. There are many interpretations of any one thing. Life as we know it is not necessarily so ;-) What it means to me is that spirituality is based on being humble. In other words, as soon as you think you ARE spirtual, you just hung...
