thanks so much...........

I try so hard to be more than "useless" esp here.  But it seems impossible with my current state :-[

Fight it TaraAnn - with everything in you! You are NOT worthless or useless so get that out of your head. If you let those feelings overwhelm you, then you will feel defeated and eventually settle with that defeat.

Fight it with everything in you. You are NOT worthless and shouldn't feel that way.

Big hugs,
Carl D

Hang in there Taraann.  You know this too will pass and you do know that you're very valuable to your family at home and your family here.

Sending you big hugs from Canada

You won't ruin it as long as you tell yourself it's going to be a wonderful vacation and that you're going to really enjoy your time with them.  Hang in there kiddo.

Heres a joke to make you laugh.

They are both stuck up c**ts ;;D

Sorry, just trying to help.

Hey Girl, Keep that chin up! I go through these same self questions every day, but when all is said and done I am the only one feeling this way! None of my family or friends think that their lives would be better without me in them.

Exactly the opposite is true! If we persist in this kind of thinking we are just letting the beast win. We don't want to do that! You need to look farther ahead and focus on the positive moments you will bring to your husband, kids and friends.

This demon may up and leave as quickly as he came into our lives and think of all the good you could do then. Believe me I know it is not easy. I know that I have become my own worst enemy. I also know that deep down I have the power to be bigger then this affliction and that I have the ability to help others. Help just one other person at a time and you are a treasure beyond compare!

Thanks for the PM and know that I am counting on you, and that I am pulling for you every day.......Tim

taraann,

Don't make me send one of my guardian angels "Juanita" over there.
He's 6'7" and weighs 307 lbs, and has a tendency to tickle you until you pee when you're feeling down.

with warm regards,

Well I feel better but I think its just fear  ;) TA what you feel is something every single mother  everywhere has gone through at some point honeybun. We all go through spells where we feel our families deserve better and we're holding them back etc but you know what? They wouldn't change us for the world any more than we'd change them  [smiley=hug.gif]
I know how much you love your family, I also know without a doubt that they love you more than anything else. This is a rotten time of year and when we're hurting too it just makes everything even bleaker but Spring is coming and so is your trip and it's going to be wonderful!
Its okay to feel blue, we all do - just remember where we are when you need us cos we love you too

The one upside to episodic CH is that we know it will get better.  Hang in there.  Once again, you will make it through.  No one tougher than us.

Ok ok.... You all sure do how to make me smile.  I really don't know what I'd do without you all to come and complain to.  

I'm not Episodic anymore, but that really doesn't seem to make it worse.   Most of the time I cope alot better Chronic than I did as an episodic.  Cause you know it's coming pretty much everyday.  But there are times that the hits are so much harder and more frequent.  That's now, and that's the times when I have such a hard time coping.  And with my sister problems and worrying about that ... well ya know.

p.s. Juanita scared me into smiling
and Jonny had so share your Joke with Sam.... he definately had a chuckle over that one
