My son and I spoke for the first time in a long time at 1:30am 3 days ago, he was suicidal. Thank the Lord that I had just cleaned my clock the day before (lol) seiously tho, he called me and he's lived one serious attempt from 8 years ago.
Which leads me to the Al-Anon 12 step program I've worked on and off for 30 years. You're a blessing in diguise, quote from a Gram Parsons song! Another little Mantra for me is the new one tonight Iheard by poet Dylan Thomas: Happiness is as high as lonliness is long. Food for thought! Hope your doing better and feeling better.
Wow, ya think that was enough medication??? whoa!
Prednisone is something else - I can't get over the effects it has on some people - scary
((((((((( Sharona's ds )))))))) so sorry to hear this. Thank God he called you! Yes Alanon is invaluable - the way "we" want to help others can be counter-productive if we don't truly know what we are dealing w/, and if we have not taken care of our OWN garbage (it is messy when we mix it in w/ other people's).
Thank you for the sweet compliment - ((((((( Sharona )))) you are too and not in disguise either

I like the quote about happiness too!
