hey Arctic....just popping in, I have read a lot of your posts over the past year, some of it is good stuff, that tells me you have a lot to offer to others, yea you are not perfect, who is....and so what, the thing is that you do impact others in good ways, you just may not know it or see it. think about the positive and keep on moving forward anyway you can.
Tonight on the way to go canoing, we seen a guy in a wheel chair, (Big older fella in a low income area) leaning over workin on a mini-van, i mean he was half out of the chair leaning into the engine bay, well when we got back about two hours later he had it running, oh forgot to mention about the part where he was missing the lower part of his leg below the knee cap? yea, like he really should be doing something like all things considered.
Point is that everyone has something to offer.

Richard, stop and think a minute. Your little girl thinks enough of you to try and get you some help.
Don't you think that deep down all of your family feels the same way.
PM me your telephone number if you want to talk to a complete stranger from Delaware.

dick.. it's not the same as 1 to 1 interaction but allow the positive aspect of even the interaction you can get here. i was lower than whale crap last yr. and even the non personal contact i got from this place probably saved my life.
please keep in mind that as long as your family is on earth there is a chance for things to get better. once the loved one is "gone" all chances are lost. i withdrew after Nan died. it was my biggest mistake emotionally. the solitude only kept my loss always in the front.
it was my interaction with members here that kept me from walking in front of a train. i've actually started seeing my dr's. again and may schedule the back and hip surgery that i've needed for 2 yrs, but put off because i had to take care of Nan and then canceled 'cause i didn't care anymore.
take a breath, take some time, interact. i didn't and it haunted me.
i am doing as i say now, and honestly..... it's getting easier to breathe.

Your courage is astounding Carl. I'm glad to hear your doing a better these days. One day at a time.....it gets easier.
It's what I said to you last night Richard. In order to survive and move on, you need to accept the good, bad and ugly. It's not considered defeat. It's a trial in life that shows us that life is worth living. You have your family and friends that care for you, and yes, they will be at a loss if you weren't around.

Thanks Carl. Your words and thoughts have always been an inspiration to me. If I start to babble it may be cuz I haven't eaten in a fer days and the only human contact has been my friends on here or yesterday when the Troopers came to check on me. I got a few more days of working on the boat that a healthy Man could do in a few hours. Once I get it running and in the water than I can be gone from her life as she asked. The pain of missing them is getting worse every day. And I don't do pain well. Like you I have canceled all things to do with the Dr's and am just willing myself to give up. Without them I got nothing anyway.

Dick, if as you say my words mean something to you TRY to heed them. i know what you're feeling. i did the things you are now, no eating, withdrawl, hiding from my ailments, etc. i know that hearing from someone across the country can be somewhat hollow due to the distance, but we are connected by a huge loss. keep this in your heart,, your issue may(i hope) work out for the better even if it doesn't work out the way you want it to.
keep your head above the fog you find yourself in now. yeah i know that's a "do as i say, not as i did" deal. but i'm the proof that as bad as it gets, there can be better things after the fog clears. eat something bud, walk through a store, go for a drive to someplace you haven't been in a while, hell, play marbles. do something that clears your mind for even 10 minutes.
i didn't do these types of things and paid a price. Nan would NOT have been proud of me. you need not go through that guilt if you find inspiration in any posts from the people here.
NH.... thanks for the words
