Posted by indogirl @indogirl, Dec 20, 2025

Would like to be reached out to regarding my depression and over analyzing how I feel and what to expect. I'm feeling invisible. Thanks

Invisible, maybe a little laugh might help:

Sorry. You have 10 replies from sincere readers. At what number does visibility click on? Take me. My bank’s automated teller-phone actually blocked my number.

As a kid, played “hide & seek” with my parents, but I always found them.

Last night I tried to kiss my little girl good night. She said: “I got a headache”.

“Sex? Are you kidding? My wife cut me down to once a week. But I know TWO guys she cut down to ZERO”. (RD)

Joined Loneliness Support group. No one showed up!

Just to be able to interact with people, I click on every scam link emailed to me.

Two days ago the “Census Taker” came to the door. I opened the door and asked what this was about. He took one look at me and said “It’s not that important,” and left.

School called me the other day. Said my son hadn’t been seen all week. I asked: “Haven’t you looked in his bedroom?”

@scottrlThank you Scott. Today is Jan 1 so Happy New year to you. I had planned to start a new routine today but my excuse is that I didn't get any sleep last night. I'm sorry you had a stroke and I'm happy you're learning to live with it. My husband passed 2007 and I'm just now realizing that I am going to have to take repairs into my own hands. That's what I'll be up to this year .

@hagberg Thank you, and Happy New Year to you!
It's never too late to take charge of your life. I thought my life was pretty much over when I had the stroke. But I've learned a lot since then.
That's why I call my YouTube channel "From Recovery to Discovery".

@indogirl No, please remind yourself you did not wait too long! You are reaching out now, so that is good. And you acknowledge you want assistance to feel you're not alone, and that you want to feel better. Please be gentle on yourself, okay?!

This time of year can be really tough for so many of us. There are a lot of triggers in the advertisements we see, or music we hear. Again, please be gentle on yourself.
