Hope it turns around for you.

Sorry to hear about this buddy I didn’t know you were going through some stuff. I’ve always enjoyed your writing and creativity on-chain. Would love to see more of your humor and artful crafting of words. Stay positive and keep your head up ❤️🙏🏽

I enjoyed it as well.

Hey, I hope you're ok now. We haven't talked together often but I've always enjoyed our brief chats all these years. Your last comment is worrying. If you need a listening ear, just ping me.

Don't worry.

I did, but I'm now reassured. Thank you for replying.

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize, we all have ups and downs. Stay in touch with those who reach out to you, there are many who appreciate you here.

I firmly believe Hive in general, this platform, the offerings and opportunities, the people working hard to make it all happen; this has all done a lot of good for many people and especially those in need of something better in their lives.

I was one of those people. It gave me an opportunity to put my best foot forward and actually succeed and feel welcome. For the first time in my life, that actually felt real. It provided a sense of joy and happiness. I got to meet thousands of good people at a time when I had nobody. This was all an accident. The reality is, I was giving up on life the entire time. All the gains were never to be mine.

The post here asks everyone to accept the fact I'm okay. I lied. I'm not okay. I didn't want to be a burden, didn't want to bring anyone down. I wanted everyone else to feel good as I keep my shit to myself. I chose to put smiles on faces as I frown. I chose to lift people up as I fall. I chose to share ideas to make the lives of others, better, so they could succeed. I chose to give myself nothing. I did not choose to live with depression. I was born with it. I became skilled at pretending I'm okay, so others don't have to see this.

An apology is the most suitable response. There is a need to apologize. I've made a mistake and made people worry. That's bad. Pain is contagious. I've made a mistake and now can't even be happy without people thinking it's fake. So I need to be honest. That's how I feel. This is me talking, when I should be silent.

I have been thinking of you!!!! but I have been in my own Hell and not reaching out like I should.

Mom moved to Wisconsin, and I have seen more ER's and Doctors than ever. I got her settled and was home for 24 hours when she decided to have a stroke on me......... Back to Hospitals and ER's I went. And am still going.

My health is going too and my writing skills......

I don't think you have to be always happy in your posts; for me, your posts always show many sides to you. THAT is what made/make your posts yours.

Each day, we find happiness where we can. It's how we survive with depression in a cold world. We learned to make others laugh because we know how powerful laughter can be to those who need it. It is noble to make others laugh and giggle. Plus it gives our brains a vacation to other ways of thinking, if only for a little while.

Never sell yourself short in how much you are needed here on Hive and how many you have helped and not even known it.

You are a unique person, but in a good way.

I can not imagine Hive without you here, popping in and out with your words and stunning art that I can stare at for hours.

HUGE HUGS!!! And CONGRATS!!!! I have now known you longer than most people in my life. For that, you get a HUGE gold star, too :D

I have missed you, my friend.

Thank you for taking the time to share what you are experiencing. While I can understand what happened, I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way, and unfortunately I'm unable to provide the help that you may need. It's important to talk things over with someone who can, though, such as a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life.

I hope you find the resources you need to progress and feel better despite your difficulties. I'm wishing you all the best.

kick that depression in the sack!
love and respect to you for fighting, you got this!
