[QUOTE="Steely, post: 66898, member: 3301"] Marg everything you said was quite insightful and helpful, except this part about me not respecting myself. I am a fighter, a tenacious fighter, that has overcome an amazing pile of adversity. I know that, and I would hope he knows that. Perhaps in my post I sounded weak, but I am not weak......I am just really, really tired of fighting the good fight without any end in sight. I have read and witnessed a thousand scenarios of people who have it worse than me........please do not think I am having a pity party.........because there will always be people and situations that are worse than I have it. I know that, and I am grateful that I do have what I have. Very grateful, I say it everyday. The problem is that I am such a fighter, that I cannot understand how I am not winning this fight. I cannot understand how, that no matter how much I give, and how much I do, nothing changes. That is the problem - not that I do not believe in myself, or respect myself, or like myself - it is that I have beat my head against a door for 16 years and it has not opened.........and I do not know what to do anymore.......except give up. However, there is not a way that I would ever give up......because that is not me, which leads to my depression. Perhaps if I did give up, it would be easier, more humane for me. Instead I persist, and perseverate on how to solve this problem, to my demise. [/QUOTE]
