I really can't say I know what you are going through regarding the loss of your vision but the rest, hey yes I can relate to that.

The only thing I can suggest is get yourself some sort of hobbies/interests. It will give you something to do, some sort of independence and some enjoyment.

Hope this is of some help.

Go Keller!!!

Depression doesn't discriminate.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

the first thought that came to my mind when I read this was actually "get effed!" (not to you tho lol!)

Its just that it reminded me of when my ex boss said to me that I have a roof over my head, food on the table so what do I have to be depressed about? SHE has a brother over in Iraq and she doesnt know if today will be the day that he gets killed! Why cant I just forget about everything and be HAPPY?

And thats where the get effed comes into it...

even the richest person who has it all can get depressed hun, so dont be so hard on yourself ok?

Yes you are now accepting of things somewhat more so than you have been, but you need to sit with those feelings a while and get used to them so they become a part of you. You need to not be "accepting" as such but to have fully accepted them, if you get what I mean.

The things that you've lost, you've also lost your sense of identity so is it any wonder you feel angry, fearful, sad? NUP

ya know, its fine for me to sit here and spew out a heap of crap designed to lift your spirits and give you strength and encouragement, but shit hun, I really cant even begin to comprehend what its like for you!

I can see and I can hear... and I can call you and call you and call you last night bout 6:30pm but I figured the boys had hijacked your computer again! So I was calling them and calling them and even asked them to go give you a big hug from me but Im assuming none of you ever got those messages on chat huh?

To lose all you have is hard enough but to lose your sense of identity, your ability to provide..... yeah.... I can understand those feelings and they suck big time!

I guess sometimes things ARE out of our control and as much as we hate that we just have to drift along in limbo land and wait and see where the tides of time take us..... thats all I can do and its tearing me apart, as Im sure it is you too.

I think what your searching for is your niche, your place in the family, your role... and when you have that figured out you'll feel alot better.

I dunno Liz, thats what Im hoping for anyhows...

Oh and for the record you have every right to be sad for all you have lost. Maybe it'd help to think of it not so much as being lost in your sadness, but rather going through a mourning period, coz thats whats its been after all.

Love you hun
