(Why me, poor me!) update!

Post Reply New Topic

When I wrote the original "Why me, poor me!" thread, I didn't mean to discourage anyone or cut anybody down. I realize now, that if I would have read that thread 10 years ago, I would have thought," Yeah right, I wish it were that easy. Who is this guy anyhow?". I can see where it could've sounded overwhelming or impossible, to someone who is really down. Trust me, I've been there, and still visit there frequently. It has taken me years, to learn to be able to pick myself up again but, I've learned that it "is" possible. It's kinda like the old, 2 steps forward and one step back routine. Eventually, you will get there. But it's up to you.

The day I wrote the original, I was just "pumped" from a successful job interview that I had earlier. I thought I would "try" to jot down a few words of inspiration that could be of help to others. Long story short, keep your chin up, I promise things will get better, as long as you don't give up on yourself. Best of wishes, jawbrodt.

P.S. I know this could have been worded better. It's a problem I'm still working on. Thanks.

I wholeheartedly agreed with your original post and saw nothing but positivity in it. And I'm so pleased at your success with the job interview. Best of luck and I hope you enjoy your new job.

Also agree. You've got nothing to apologize for. Not even a little bit.

agreed, the reason i said what i did was because someone talked dumb to me (not you) awile back about being on assistance and now they recive it them selfs.

Thanks guys/gals, I'm glad you all agreed with my original post. I just wanted to add an explanation for those who might have seen it as overwhelming and/or unachieveable. I know how severe depression can get and how hopeless it can make you feel. I didn't want to alienate those people.

I still believe whole-heartedly in my original post.
