Got an answer to the question on whether all relationships are co-dependent. As its a bit too long I may hand-send the letter if I get the chance and the money together if you are interested.
It does include a bit of biology and sociology though (I'm a Biology student), so need to know if you are interested in this stuff or just want a brief summary that I can post on here to save me the pennies (I'm not working at the moment as I just moved so still job hunting). If you could mention on your next post (obviously with your financial situation I would never expect you to post an extra one in response so don't worry about that, but a quick nod in the next one you post would be helpful).
Cheers and nice blog! If you would like me to transcribe any either, that's very welcome as I obviously have some time on my hands currently so I'm willing to do that if its wanted.
I only wish I could include your beautiful annotations and associated drawings alongside any transcriptions :(
If you put a little comment on the next one to tell me whether you would like me to go back and transcribe them as far back as time will allow me, I'll make the effort.
I very much enjoyed transcribing your letter. I actually found it helpful and very soothing.
I am currently suffering myself from depression and anxiety. I'm 22 and have had depression they believe since I was around 12, so it isn't an easy habit to kick!
I'm also recovering from a significant amount of heartbreak, even though the relationship ended around 2 years ago and I am very happy with my current partner (ignoring the obvious depression...).
I was actually having a terrible night re-streaming old memories and worrying about my return to university (I'm taking a year out to recover as things got so bad I could no longer maintain myself never mind my studies), as this is where it all went wrong this time and I hurtled down into the pit again. I came onto the internet in search of charity work to put my problems into perspective and to aid my recovery (to kind of, get some level of normality again) and came across this site. I have actually got my CBT books beside me!!! I do not like to use the word 'fate' as I am a scientist, but it is a very happy coincidence let's put it that way.
Your letter was a great help, as I need to make the future brighter and remember that it does not matter what happened in the past, I can still have a happy future. I will keep it in mind when I find myself struggling again!
Very pleased about the book idea! I hope it works out. There are a few psychiatrists and therapists in England that I have worked with personally who I know have had people close to them involved in drug/alcohol abuse which led them to their profession. As the road of drug and alcohol abuse can lead to the road of imprisonment, they perhaps may be interested in your cause.... Although I do not know if this is a bit far out for you...?
Would be very happy to transcribe any more posts for you and hope they continue whilst you are there. Again, best of luck with the book.
Choices - to do something that's easier than something else that might be better or harder - they're so challenging. I try to remember that the pain and fear I might have making the harder choice now is nothing compared to the emptiness I'll feel when I make the easier but worse choice later. I don't know if that's helpful at all. Sometimes I'll also ask myself: is this the me I want to build? Is this building my spirit? Best of luck Robert.
Hey David I'm sorry to hear how lonely you feel. Nobody should ever be made to feel that way. Although I do not know you, I would like to tell you that I care. There are people out there who do care about you and want you to feel noticed and included. You're feelings should be listened to. I know this next part may sound weird but, God loves you. He wants you to feel his love. Rely on him when you feel lonely and remember that you are never alone. You are his son and he wants you to remember that and to remember him. Don't let the feelings of sadness bring you down because there is always someone out there in the world who cares and who will listen to you. I hope you start to feel less lonely soon. I'm sorry if this letter may have sounded weird or repetitive, I just wanted to tell you that you are never alone. I hope this letter helped you to feel better even for just a couple of minutes.

This makes me furious, and sad. The US prison system truly has become a huge money-making enterprise at the expense of the most disadvantaged. It seems to have hopelessly lost touch with any ultimate goal of protecting society--instead actively damaging it--and educating and rehabilitating prisoners. Though, frankly, I doubt that ever was the penal system's goal.
It is very frustrating to see this enormous problem, involving so much callous discrimination and exploitation, but not to know what we can do about it. Since you have a way better understanding and knowledge of this system, do let us know what you think would be the most effective way the public outside of prison to do to tackle these issues.
Wow words cant express the way that I feel when I read anything that you write, you have absolutelty know understanding of how much you inspire me, you always have! Love ya KaShonna Sago
