People who aren’t feeling all alone can never understand what it’s like to feel it. When I first met my current talk therapist she listened to my description of what I was feeling and she used the words loneliness and hopelessness.

Check out this article I just read on loneliness.

Get Doctor’s Advice First

Melinda was a 92 year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband Greg. She decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Greg’s old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken in the first place.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become paralyzed, she called her doctor’s office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be. “On a woman,” the doctor said, “your heart would be just below your left breast.”

Later that night, Melinda was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her left knee!

I have done hours and hours of browsing other depression/anxiety type blogs and I have only seen a couple that are written by amateurs. Most of the other blogs seem to be promoting something and written mostly for that purpose. I want to avoid that for the most part. I am not saying I can 100 percent but I will try and stay on track. Hopefully I can eventually make the blog self supporting but I would never sell out to a drug company or whatever.

This is my first ever post on this blog. I am hoping to write from a personal view. I should say right up front, that I am not very proficient at writing and or grammar. I write what I feel and my feelings never attended much school. I know people who like to be the grammar police and I figure since I am doing the writing, it’s up to me.

I am hoping this adventure or should I say venture will be multi-faceted for me. I have several goals for this blog.

1. Personal therapy.
2. A learning experience from working first hand.
3. Maybe, just maybe to let people know they aren’t alone.
4. In addition, I want people to know there is hope, I know how hopeless I feel at times.

Wish me luck, leave a comment or whatever. subscribe if you can.
