All better

Don't worry, I'm still here. 
I hit a wicked funk that I got stuck in. 
It was hard, and horrible. I had to take a step back from many things and work out whatever was going on (even I didn't know what it was).
Bottom line, if you're a parent, and think the things you do won't affect your kids years and decades later, think again and be very careful how you behave. 
I thought I buried the monster, that was my past, only to have stupid incidents over the summer plant a seed that grew into a mess months later. Hopefully my mind will put it to rest, once and for all, and it won't come back to bite me again next year. I missed me, and didn't like who was left. I think I'm back and better than ever. The past can bite me, I'm so done with it!
Ok, that's my little rant, all better now! :)

the worst part is knowing something is wrong and you have no idea what it is to even deal with it, thought I was going crazy!

LM, You "Thought you buried the Monster" leads me to believe you know what the problem Is? Talk with someone, that can understand your pain, and try to work through It. Depression Is SO difficult, it's impossible to put into words, but people will listen, you just need to find someone to talk to. I'll share your tears with you. I'm In the same boat.

when I was getting down, I didn't know why, or what was causing it. turns out it was something the came up in the summer that kept at me without me realizing it, combined with this time of year and pow, sucker punch... it took 2 times of sitting down and typing out what I was feeling for it to reveal itself so I could see and deal with it. I have friends that will take whatever side I need them to, it's harder to find somebody without any attachment to any part of it to be objective, thus having to work it out on my own, but glad I figured it out, I thought I was losing my marbles, the few I have left :) Hugs to you all, love you!!!

That's good news, Lizardmom. I'm glad you worked things out.

If needed, the JTIs will do anything they can to help.

Thanks, guys. Sometimes it just takes a little time out to get perspective and figure it out, but it sure helps knowing there are many loving, caring friends here for you :)

Maybe you were just a little constipated....

Geee, really? Does this hot mess need to be broadcast for all of Racine and beyond to read? Get a personal blog and spread your crazy there, or maybe find a real friend to confide with in person. You wonder why anonymous picks on you in the other blogs? Reread this blog.

N Y M, I feel badly that you haven't taken the time to get to know the people you want to attack. Most of us have met, and have always welcomed new people in with open arms. Most of us have met, maybe one day you'll decide to come out and get to know us instead of just shooting daggers. We've come together over some really good things and some really bad things and everywhere in between. We may be a dysfunctional lot, but we care about each other, and try to keep our home here a positive one, as best we can. I hope you're new year improves and becomes happier.

My mistake. I thought I was reading the JTIrregulars webpage, not Jerry Springer's site. You are right, I don't know you, but was embarrassed with the personal information you put out there for those of us who don't know you. This isn't a personal blog. It is open and read by many.

With a closed mind like that, Lizardmom, your little site will continue to be a "little site." Realize that there are outside readers beyond those you've met in person, and listen to their comments and this can be so much more.

You're the one going Jerry Springer. Closed mind? My main faults are being too open, sorry that seems to offend a stranger that chose not only to read, while you had the option to skip, but then also engage. If you don't like a particular post, don't read it.
