I'm sorry you're hurting so deeply, Ralph. We're listening. Can you call for help, if you need to? A hospital? Your partner?

It takes a lot of courage to live life. I hope you will hold on. One day at a time. From what little I know you, I sense you have a strong presence and calm voice. Things can change. Pain can lessen. The future brings hope. Keep expressing yourself and please reach out to someone close by, if you don't feel safe. Sending my care and strength.

Sending my love, Ralph.

We would "notice", we would miss you a lot. And we wouldn't be the only-ones, I'm sure.

The sun will rise for you again, Ralph...

Hope to hear from you soon. We're thinking of you.

How are you doing today, Ralph?

I'm thinking of you, too...

Thanks for your replies. It doesn't hurt as bad as when I wrote the above, but I'm still struggling. It helps to see the words I wrote before to know where I was then and see that I've made some progress.

I don't really have anyone I could call. My partner wants to help but he doesn't understand my depression, so I can't really call him when I am that upset. But it definitely helps to have the community here.

Yes, you have friends here who care. Try to have a relaxing weekend, Ralph.

Hugs to you.

I'm glad to hear there is a progress and you can see it .

I'm glad we can be here for you, Ralph. I hope your day today is a little brighter.
