I'm here

[red1030]

rhedke...I was gone for a couple of hours and kept hoping that I would come back on and find you had been here. Thank goodness you sound so much better than in the first note. You have a great plan to do something in the morning. I think by the responses you received you now have an idea that you are loved and that this online family will support and hear about your needs. You story like so many others is so sad. Your story is so similar to my husbands and someday I will tell you about him. Your pain is real, just like your injury is real. You need medical help and have not recieved it and then you lost your job. I know this is really tough. If not for my situation, my husband would have been in the same kind of situation that you are in. I am praying for you. My thoughts are with you. And we all want to know what happens after you see the physician tomorrow ok. Red

I am sitting here in a hotel room reading your post and can feel your pain. I am very concerned for you. You are obviously depressed and understandably so. I wish I could tell you everything is going to be ok. I can't that would be a lie because I don't know whether it will or not. Obviously you have a very strong belief in God and at this time your faith is being tested. You are crying out for help and there are many here that are listening. As I said at the beginning I am in a hotel room what I did not say is why. I don't need to bore you with details but suffice to say that it is because of a family member, no more than that, my own child who was feeling lost and alone. He will be ok but I only wish that he had cried out earlier and in a different way. In your post I am hearing some of that pain and beg you please call someone, anyone. Doesn't matter who or how far away they are. Ask for help. Depression is a terrible thing but you can get help and overcome it. I wish I were somewhere closer that I might be of more assistance.

I just looked down at my wifes note pad at what she was writing before she fell asleep.
Isaiah 41:13
For I, the lord your God, will hold you right hand, saying to you, "Fear not, I will help you"

Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I am not at all a bible spouting religious type but I do feel the need to reaffirm to you that God is with you. There are people who can and will help. Is there a county mental health service that you can call. Often times they can also provide or direct you toward other services to help with your other problems. You are in crisis and should try to resolve this on your own. I wish I had answers. I do care though as I can see many more do as well. God Bless You

Hi,
Your note certainly pulled my heart strings. Please promise us that you will call the county to see if there is medical assistance, money shortage programs, and close support you can join. You need physical immediate help & contact with people to help you through your crisis. We can all relate to your situation, one way or another, and will give you a listening ear to vent, cry, lessen the loneliness, to lift the burden off your chest. We care....truely we do. At 9:00 pm most evenings is when we all have a quiet time to say prayers for our online people in need.....so at 9:00 tonight....feel the love, as you will be in our prayers.
Please also, if you end up at the ER, or doctors, tell them of your plight...they get plenty of sample meds that they can pass on to you "free" to assist in lessening your pain. I have known of some MD's who will actually flip the bill themselves, to enable their patients to obtain the medicines that they require.
Remember...Ask, and ye shall receive.
Prayers to you my friend, keep us updated and stay in contact.
Lilly

Rhedke, I don't have anymore to give you as gar as advice and guidance, the Others have done a Great job in giving you the right Direction!! I do want to Tell you though that I Do Know Where You Stand Right Now!! Depression has been at my Side Most of my Entire Life, I used to be ashamed to Talk about it, it made me think others would think I was weak. My Depression got soo out of Hand, I started Drinking a Bottle of Sky Vodka per Day, 7 days a week, ended up in the Phsyc. Ward of the Local Hospital, and came within two-minutes of taking my Life with a .38 Special, if it wasn't for a Friend stopping by, it would have been all over!! Now Please listen, I'm not a Heavy Religious Person, but I took that Friend stopping as a sign from God that I had to pull it together, for the People that Love me. You may not have someone at Home with you right now, Your Husband has gone to the Lord, but there are People who care and Love You, and also your Pets, they need you also!! If nothing else just look into the eyes of a Pet, They don't know Bias, your financial situation, or any other Human Problems in the World, but they do Know Love!! You are their entire World, you care for them and they return that favor with unconditional Love, Something some People search their entire lives for. So Please get some Help, I'm much Better Now, and so will you. Tough times come and go, but Love stays forever, and their is NO WAY Your Husband would want you by His side in that manner! He'll be there waiting, when it's your Time He'll come for you, but don't speed that up, you would Break His Heart!! I've lost four Friends this Year, I am still grieving, and one of them was to Suicide, and I wonder every Day what could I have done to Help Him. You'll be fine, just take one situation at a time, I know it's Hard but it's the only way it can be done, and the Most Important Thing Right Now i s getting the Help you need!! Please keep us informed, and know you have a group of Folks here that actually do Care About You!!
