we miss ya buddy
Hang in there, RC. We all support you and only want the best for you.
I can't even imagine the pain you must be going through. Stay strong.
Ronnie, in many ways, you are the heart and soul of this forum. When you're in good form you make us all smile, when you hurt, all of us are sad. Stay strong, come back soon, and get the help you need to cope with life. We'll always be here for ya! :cheers:
Sorry to hear RC and hope that things aren't too bad. Will be missed until your return.
RC, sucks you deal with such crap in your life. But it can get better. Hope you can cope and work to get well. You are clearly loved around here and it's easy to see why. You're a monster kid, a talented artist, a storehouse of knowledge that puts many of the rest of us to shame, and you have great good and bad taste in great old horror films and lots of B-movie muck too!
We love you, Ronnie. :smile:
Stand tall, RC.
Hoping for the Best RC! :smile:
Keep your head up, RC!
stay strong RC, you're in my thoughts
Hang in there, RC. We all miss you!

That's great!
Now that you have the chance, please, go see somebody. Don't wait until you're miserable again.

Seconded.
Maybe what RC needs is not so much appreciation as a good swift kick in the arse! :wink: :tongueout:
Take care of yourself buddy!

Phew, THAT was close! I was afraid you were going to kill yourself or go to jail. I hope your life takes a turn for the better, RC.

I wont do prescription drugs to fix me.
Tara Sue had a whole box full of her "meds." They destroyed her immune systym. I would have her be crazy and alive. I asked her to stop taking all those pills. But it was too late.f**kers and all they're dam pills killed her. I'd rather be crazy and die on my own terms.

Seeing a therapist can help.

Maybe Frank Sinatra Jr. will pay for it? :wink:
Seriously, there are options for free/cheap mental health services but you'll have to research them yourself. Here's a start: http://www.michigan.gov/mdch/0,4612,7-132-2943_52115-203750--,00.html.
Thanks,Rev. I cant. I have to work. I still gotta pay rent. I just cant take time off. My wheels may be spinning...but the world still needs to get paid.
Im poor. I make $11 dollars an hour. No health insurance. I have to do it on my own. And I WILL.

You know what else do you have to do?
Live.
Work to live, and not the other way around.
This is important.

Maybe some free clinic in your area and you can work out some kind of schedule so you don't have to take time off. I'm sure something like that could be arranged? But then again I'm no doctor and I don't know how these things work or how serious your condition is.
If its possible to get help or counseling at a free clinic and it won't interfere with your work I'd say do it. Or at least look into it.

In a perfect world...There are no free clinics around here.I been to rehab twice. Didnt work. I have to HAVE to- HAVE TO!-do this on my own. And I will. Dammit. I WILL!
Maybe joining a support group (AA maybe) might help...or even if it's just having some real good friends to call upon to talk you back to the straight and narrow...
we still like ya buddy :cheers:
