DANGER:Don't let go of your caution mode mindset!!
There are a few board members who are having a very hard time at the moment, and we know that when one jew strengthens himself - it gives all other jews strength, especially those sharing similar battles, and double especially those close to him. We really need someone to step up we have a lot of our brothers in danger!! Please be that tzaddik!!

The main thing dearest pentinent is that their are many poeple including myself who are going through what your going trhough every day and undetsnad and love you very dearly for the sincerity and courage that you have in confronting the dark parts of yourself....We love you!!!

Giving is very important. Try reading other peoples posts and try and give them good advice. I do this and I find that it helps in moderation. If I try to help it helps me but if I get too involved it can pull me down.

Also don't think about the fact you feel weak. Pick something to focus on and just let yourself get lost in that thing.

REMEMBER WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOU!
