    Re: Nora's journey

    Hi, Nora:

    I've solved that problem my trying to just stick with pets and kids on Facebook. I feel like either I'm preaching to the choir, or I am baiting someone with a different opinion to engage. Either way, I decided that FB is not going to be the forum for an enlightened discussion about ANYTHING. I do like FB for seeing what others are up to, but I have REALLY tried to disengage from it in a way so that it doesn't make me feel bad. Otherwise, why be there at all?

    Your brother does sound like a bully - I wonder why they have to keep engaging you? You are brave to put your opinions out there when the rest of your family feels differently.

    Anyway - keep up the positive relationships in your life and try to let the others float away on clouds.

    I personally am feeling depressed also. I am tired of some ongoing struggles in my life (a sick parent for one, a tough situation at work for another), and some days I just want to take a day off from life. Unfortunately, life doesn't work like that, so I am trying to focus on gratitude and taking care of myself when I can. I most certainly will not drink, as I know you won't either...

    Take good care,

    Pav

      Oh Pav - :hug: I am sorry that you are in the same boat with feeling depressed. And, you are right - it would be nice to take a day off from life.:apathy: But, you are right about taking care of yourself and focusing on gratitude. :heartbeat:

      And you are very right about Facebook and I rarely post anything like that. And that is exactly why - no reason to even attempt to discuss something on there. I'll stick with my happy posts (maybe )

        Nora, dear:hug: I agree with Pav wholeheartedly on this:

        Don't post anything other than pictures of enjoying your life with others. Do what JackieClaire does and put a Block on your brother's posts. I hope your blue mood lifts and I am so sorry about the work situation. Been there and done that. Let me know if I can help in any way.:happy2:

          Well - Cowboy reminded me that I have been AF for 1000 days.
          Wow - hard to believe. I had decided that I was going to die. I had given up. I could not stop drinking and frankly didn't even think that I wanted to anymore. I was so down & depressed that I couldn't see up.
          I was a shell....totally lost. And, step by step, I started moving forward. Slowly but step by step. And now, I know that it was the best thing that I ever did for myself.
