I'm in awful shape tonight

[Ellen Forradalom]

I'm sorry if I'm drawing too much attention to myself but I am completely heartbroken and could use a hug.

[crispini]

1. Here's a hug.

:hug: Wassup?

[Ellen Forradalom]

pm

[GOPisEvil]

2. You got it.

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

3. Hi Ellen!

[WCGreen]

4. Nah, that's what Friends are for....

Take a nice bubblebath on me...

[huskerlaw]

5. Don't be sorry

that's what we're here for.

So here's a :hug: from me...and one from the group :grouphug:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

6. Courage, mon amie!

:hug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

9. Ma chère!

La dépression ne me délaisse jamais.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

33. Est-ce que s'agit de ce que tu as ecris au Groupe Francophone?

:shrug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

34. Qu'un français

m'a brisé le coeur? Parmi d'autres, oui.

[Floogeldy]

7. Need more facts.

What's up?

:smoke:

[Ellen Forradalom]

11. Whole lot of everything

crumbling marriage, heartbreak, leaving a career, depressed.

[Floogeldy]

13. OH. I've been there.

It's natural. You're gonna love it when you come out of this. :)

[Ellen Forradalom]

16. You've been there?

Sucks, doesn't it?

And, is that a guarantee?

[Heidi]

17. I've been there, too, Ellen.

All at the same time.

One of the best pieces of advice I was given at the time was, "Put a name to everything you fear, then go about the business of walking past every one of your fears without giving in to them."

:hug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

20. let's see

1) everyone will hate me if I leave
2) I'm abandoning my family
3) I'll never love again
4) I'm too damaged to make anything of myself
5) It's too hard to start over

that's just for starts

[Heidi]

27. Yep.

The real test is, which of those fears is rational, and which are irrational? I guarantee you that there are many, many of us who've survived changes in relationships and careers, Ellen, and your options won't always look so bleak if you do the basic things to take care of yourself. (Iin my experience, the grief you feel right now is natural.)

:hug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

31. Thank you

You wouldn't believe what my heart's been through the past couple of months.

[Lethe]

[Ladyhawk]

18. Hell, me too. And you can have a hug.

:hug:

And a piece of advice: Don't go into GD feeling the way you are now. I tried it and you won't dig it. :(

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :pals: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

21. Are you kidding?

I tread lightly in GD when I'm in a good mood.

[Ladyhawk]

29. I'm thinking of staying the hell away from that place.

I got stabbed right in the heart tonight. Ouch.

[fleabert]

36. wise advice my friend, wise advice...nt

[BlueIris]

19. Hugs.

I was an "attention drawer" here for a while. It's okay, DU is very tolerant of us.

[Ellen Forradalom]

24. Everyone takes their turn

It's understood, I guess, that if you are OK you don't need the attention.

I still give in other threads, too, even if I feel like shit on a popsicle stick.

[fleabert]

22. as long as you hug right back!

just kidding, this is unconditional :hug:

I know exactly how you feel. BIG HUGE :hug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

You're in a spot, too, tonight, aren't you?

Here, have another hug.

I need just what you need.

[Dude_CalmDown]

30. I know what you mean. Life sucks.

There's nothing really encouraging that I can say other than I know what you mean and it sucks.

On Edit: I forgot the only thing I really wanted to do which was give a hug. :hug:
