Everyone’s pain is legitimate. I hope you feel better, man. Depression is a shitty thing.
Just keep doing what you love, don’t let it take control.
I agree with this 100%. Possessed, you shouldn’t feel bad about talking about your problems here one bit. I don’t consider it whining at all.
No-one should feel bad or unsafe about sharing their personal challenges here. It is a luxury that may not be afforded to everyone though. I am happy to see we do have many members that have genuine concerns about their fellow members and I’m glad to be among them. As beings, even a little comfort can go a long way.
Warb, I am most certainly behind you. Being there for your Mom is a most important part of family. From my family to yours, our sincerest condolences on your loss and our sincerest hopes for a more peaceful journey forward. My father was not there for me so I know the longing of missing one in my own way.
