Well.  I don't really have anyone to talk to right now because it's 7:30 in the morning and everyone I know is still asleep.  I should be sleeping too, but I'm to worried and depressed.  I thought journaling might help me feel better.  I honestly don't remember a time when I've felt like this.  I feel helpless, nauseous, like someone is squeezing

This might sound horrible, but don't worry about the other people that have it worse. Sometimes we have to worry about ourselves. You know? Our problems are ours and just because someone has it worse, doesn't make our problem any less of a problem. It doesn't make you selfish or insensitive.

I am not saying that you should use this to wallow in your problems or embrace them more...I am just saying, don't make it worse by adding the suffering of others to your problem. You know?

Sounds like tough time though. I hope it all works out, and it doesn't matter that it is the holidays. When he gets better, go visit your relatives...cook some crazy big dinner and invite people over...it doesn't matter if it is christmas or January 10th or whatever...it is all the same. These people are there every day and you don't need a holiday for time with people to be special or important.

can you dig it?

Also, if it wasn't for my journal to ease up some of the pressure in my head...I would be crushed by the weight of some of my issues. It happens to all of us...and it is ok.
if people don't want to read about it...they dont' have to. So don't worry about it.

Thank you, that was some really good advice. My dad is doing a little better now and I'm starting to feel a little better. And you are right about Christmas just being a day. I think we are just going to postpone it a little while until my dad is better and he can come home. I use writing a lot to get my emotions out. I can't tell you how many times I've written letters to people but never gave them to anyone. Just writing it was the important part. Thanks again for your comment. You're a good friend.
