Sorry to hear you had a tough day - maybe it will be better tomorrow because you had a hard day today? Who knows?
You are a beautiful person and doing good in this world.
There. I said it.
Now take it like a man!

Sorry you had a hard day yesterday.

Today is a new day.

You know you can call me anytime, right?

Thanks to all gor your responses. Im feeling much better today, BH. Hopefully this will carry me through the day!

SB- Im sorry i didnt know you were davening for me ??? I really appreciate it. I believe in these things so much. Although i dont believe in woopy joopy i do believe in davening.

TrYiNg- Although ill be honest and say i cant feel how your davening is helping, but im sure it is in many ways. They never said, "feeling is believeing"!! Check what i wrote to SB.

Habib- Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for alwaysbeing an inspiration to me!! And check out what i posted to Dov. I do recognize what he wrote and that it is awesome.

Momo- Thanks for always being there for me!! I know i should call but when im down i really "close out". I didnt even call my wife!! I explained to her i was down and stuff and she understood me. BH for that!

but imtrying, sorry for being so blunt, but u gotta work on the not calling people thing...
i close up too, and that is by far the most dangerous time for me. because i feel so incredibly alone then, and i don't want to reach out, a lot of times that's when i slip.

Actually, I should have called IT25. Sorry I didn't.

When I'm down, I don't feel like calling either, but after someone calls me I feel much better. Also, if I build up the courage to call, I feel much better too.

Isolation is one of the Y"H's biggest tricks. You have to build up the courage to call someone and talk it out.

IT25, I haven't called you because it always seems to be the "wrong" time. I can only get you during lunch, right?

when ur in that mood (funk) first of all, try to realize that your in a bad mood. when u say i don't want to talk, is that the real you, or this like ruach that has taken over you. and once you realize what the real you would want if u were normal... call someone. just tell them your in a bad mood, can you talk, because that'll help cheer u up...
when u wanna be by yourself, that's the worst time to be by yourself

i wrote this thing then momo showed up and said it PERFECTLY! (except the part where he blames himself...)
