Thank you for your comments.....I keep coming up short due to age....and the meds really did very little, so I rather rely on just gutting it out for the time being. I do believe in a higher power and for what it is worth, I cannot put a name on "it" due to the fact that so many religions seem to be hell bent on control issues versus what I choose to believe in. Raised a Catholic...got really tired of the control issues there, looked into several other "religions" and found most of them coming from the same place so instead just look to Mother Nature, Allah, Buddha. whatever name one wants to put to "it". At this age, it seems very little matters anymore and I struggle with finding anything other than the tenacity to go make the paycheck. Seems so futile to work so that I can stay alive till I kick the bucket....but thank you, truly....trying to find my way in a world that seems so hell bent on hurt, power, greed. Having grown up in the sixties, what I see today breaks my heart and I do not want to be here much anymore.....

Thank you for revealing your most intimate thoughts about your struggles and thoughts about a sense of futility and hopelessness. Nonetheless, I am truly grateful to read about your tenacity to go to work in order to eak out an existence. You have given me comfort and hope because you are trying to live. Please don't stop persevering and keep sharing your struggles and victories, no matter how small.
By the way, there is an "it" greater than me who listens to me and I feel hopeful and I persevere. Please keep sharing your thoughts and struggles. It is encouraging to read.
You are here for a reason. There is no one exactly like you. Yes, there are, and always have been people who do evil things.
When the Nazis came to a prison cell to choose a victim. A priest said “Take me.”
I do not think I would have the courage to say that! I now say “Why me?” And then I look at my neighbors:
Cancer
Death of a spouse
Loss of job
Multiple handicaps
Car accident which left a neighbor disfigured
I taught children whose parents abused them. Why them? They were innocents who did nothing wrong.
Look for the good.
In helping others you help yourself. Can you find someone to help? can you find someone to help you?Talk to a minister, priest or a social worker(at a senior center).?
Please let me(us)know how you are doing. I am looking forward to hearing what you chose to do.
We ALL need someone to listen to us.
We all need help at some time in our lives.
Someone is waiting for you to help them.
Helen
