My doctor was concerned that I may be getting depressed from my health problems and the W/C issues pending. She mentioned W/C support groups to help me with my depression. I blew it off and thought I could handle it on my own, but after some time I knew I needed help getting through tis crap. So I called my doctor asking for more information on W/C support groups in my area and to my disappointment there were none. That is why I ended up here. After seeing the discussions here and the people telling their stories I know I'm not alone. The path we all go down is a bit different but we are all still in a way are the same. Thank you all for helping to pull me off my pity pot.

So glad you found this site, I felt the same, I can do it on my own...but I know now I can't, so as along as we can help each other...the better.....next time it appears I'm on the pity pot too long, one of you please give me a quick swift kick off the throne....LOL

Very nicely said Mel...glad your a part of the family...It had to be very difficult to have your friend commit suicide, especially with her age...that is so tragic...(at any age) I use to believe that suicide was the cowards way out, but now I realize, it would take so much courage to do...I know I couldn't do it...I'm too chicken really, but for someone to think there is no other option is devastating to all....that they didn't feel they would make it thru the bad times...and had no where to turn....This site is so godsent and needed, your right we are all in this together and know we can depend on each other for that reason....we all have our little quirks, but deep down who doesn't...we are family and we will get over this...This is more of a family than my own....it's nice to have so many brothers and sisters...thanks for listening....
