Today, my mother has received phone calls from people and was visited by the police department checking to see if I was alright. I might be a lot of things, but suicidal is not one of them. Please refrain from giving my mother the fright of her life from now on. I am not going to do anything that extreme.
I am just incredibly burned out and do not know if I will continue blogging, I have met a lot of great people here, and I very much appreciate the concern. Having the police visit my mother is not going to help anything.
I am sorry if I gave anyone the impression I was going to do something drastic, I am not. I am very depressed and I need time to get my head straight. Please understand that none of this has anything to do with any of you. I am trying to feel better, not worse. I’m sick, broken out in hives and the last thing I need is my mother, who is in very poor health, to be upset.
As much as I would like to write a post, I get sick just thinking about it. I am alive and plan to stay that way. I will hopefully feel better in a few weeks or so. I’m trying to keep myself from deleting my blog, so I will not regret that for the rest of my life.
I started this blog for one reason. That is to help all of us come together from all races from every country. I cannot take medication for my depression as I do not believe it will help. The times I took medicine, it made me feel worse. I am going for a long run here in a little while to get a good sweat and make myself feel better.
I am very sorry I upset anyone, It seems that I am good at that. I will refrain from that in the future. I need time to regroup. I am seriously in no harm and will be fine. Until that day comes, when I find my true love, I will not be happy. It means more to me than any of you could ever know that I actually do have friends.
In my real life, I have no friends to talk to or see. When I say that, I literally mean none, zero, zilch. There is no one. I have had to cut ties with everyone. My best friend from high-school, growing up was executed by the state of Alabama for murdering two police officers. My other friends are drug addicts. My good friend Erol, is serving a 65 year sentence for murder in the state of Minnesota.
The one girl I truly loved (the only girl I ever really loved) left me days before I was going to ask her to marry me. I still have not recovered.
There are are many other things going wrong right now, but are far to personal to discuss. I would do anything or go anywhere to find the love of my life. Many guys hit the clubs but I am not one of them.
This might sound wimpy or pathetic, but the only thing I have ever wanted in my life, is one woman to spend my life with. I don’t want to meet her in a bar. I need someone in my life and I want to be loved. Think what you want, but I am not afraid of this journey. It is my goal to find her.
I am having a hard time getting anything right in this life. I don’t know how much more personal I can be in revealing myself. I need time to regroup and get on with my search for love, which is the only thing that matters to me.
Each and everyone of you have been great to me. I just do not have enough hours in the day to visit you all everyday. I will be saying at my mother’s house until I feel well enough to go home. I do love all of you and please give me a little time to recover. To say that I feel sick is an understatement. I feel drained spiritually and emotionally.
I will try to return. I just put so much pressure on myself to visit, read and comment on hundreds of blogs per day. I cannot do that anymore. I am doing the best I can. I will try to reply to all the comments I have received in the past few days, but I am in no hurry. I will get it done soon enough.
I didn’t realize how many people cared about me, but it is giving me some strength. I have never had a problem expressing myself, but I do have problems to conquer.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. I am going to make it one way or another. I need some time.

Bobby,
Take care. The friend’s calls to your mum’ place and police episodes are fruit of efforts of friend who care very genuinely about your wellbeing and existence.
We all love you. From long ago, I had imagined how burned out you must be to maintain this blog and at the same time visit and comment on so many bloggers that visit you. I know how tiring it must have been. Give my shallow blog a miss dude. I understand. Your wellbeing is far far more important to me than that one visit and comment to my posts.
Take care. I would still be coming by to drop my hallos and what-nots whenever I think of you.
Blessings! I am so happy when I see this post this morning when I woke up.
Take Care. You are one tough dude. I know you can walk out of this pit.

Take a break from blogging. To recover. But do remember to eat well and rest well. Spend some time to relook at your life.

You said it! “I may feel better in a few weeks”. If that’s what you decide to do, and you really believe that…you will likely start feeling better in a few weeks.
Or would you rather it happen sooner?

Wow, Bobby. It sounds like you are having a very difficult time right now. I am sorry. As I think you know I suffer from double depression(low grade depression with episodes of severe depression)that began after my youngest son died in 1996 and then my mother one year later in 1997. I hate depression. I do use medication because it does help me. If it hadn’t been for my surviving two children and the meds, I’m not sure where I’d be now. Without being trite, Bobby you know things get better. Maybe not as quickly or as easily as we wish but they always get better. If you need to talk to someone just email me at MamaKRB@aol.com and we could exchange phone numbers.
Take care and big Hug.

Hi Bobby – I’ve been away a bit and see I’ve missed a LOT!!! Yikes. Sorry about that. Anyway – I don’t know how killing your blog would help you feel better. I totally understand needing time away from blogging to get your head on straight or even to just to have a little bit of a life off line! So cut back on your blogging, by all means. But don’t do it in a temporary moment of depression. I know I don’t know you very well but I can tell you are sincere and you’ve been very helpful to me. If you believe that you won’t be happy until you find the love of your life then by all means go and find her because if that is what you believe then it is true. Get off your duff and join a dating service, whatever you have to do! Just keep your expectations realistic, but don’t gloss over things that may irritate you later just so that you can have someone now. And I don’t understand about you not having friends in real life. You have a great personality – can you socialize somehow like something as simple as joining a bowling team or something? It’s hard to put yourself out there but if you want it bad enough, you need to make the effort. She may not be able to find her way to you so get yourself out there to look for her. Also, you may meet some nice people on the journey! I hope you come back to blogging soon – I’ve been looking forward to your contests and learning more on the tech side of things from you. Okay enough babbling from me. I send you hugs and good healing energy and also to your mom – it must be hard for her to see you depressed.

Also, there is never an obligation to return blog visits to everyone else. You do that when and if you can but you don’t do it because you feel you have to. There are millions of blogs out there. And millions of bloggers. We can’t have that kind of pressure on us. Don’t put it on yourself. Your real friends aren’t going to want to put that pressure on you either, although I’m sure they are delighted when you can visit, they wouldn’t want you to feel obligated. I can tell by the previous posts/comments that these people who visit you truly care. You are very fortunate and I’m sure they feel the same for knowing you!

Hi Bobby,
please, first things first. Take care of yourself now, not of all those comments, not of your blog, no pressure right now.
You know what state you’re in, and you know that you shouldn’t make any irreversible decisions right now.. So, don’t delete this blog okay?
I’m also fighting a depression right now, and I’m trying to conquer this too without medications. As for you, exercising is what helps best. It makes me feel better, both mentally and physically. And that’s all that’s important right now..
And, call me an idealist, but I know the love of your life will come. And the girl you loved before.. she wasn’t meant to be, nothing more, nothing less.
But, first you have to take care of you..
Again, my warmest wishes, all the best to you!!

I have had your site open for two days, refreshing and refreshing it to see if you had written another post. How pleased I am that you have.
I am sure that others would agree that this post IS a reply to all of your comments and we would not want you to experience any stress by feeling you need to reply in other ways.
Blogging is often a two way street – commenting, replying, mutual linking. This is not one of those occasions, but one where we offer support and friendship without expecting anything in return.
Having suffered from the very depths of depression and anxiety throughout my life, the break up of a 25 year old relationship/marriage was the final straw for me. I did not think life could possibly improve. How completely wrong I was. The correct medication finally found, depression is a thing of the past. I have a new partner, a soul mate I never dreamed I would find, who I met on ICQ. I never realized life could be so good. I now say life begins at 50!

I haven’t been reading you for long, but I feel that I have to say a couple of things.
First, it’s OK to walk away from your blog for a while. The pressure of thinking of something to write every day only adds to depression. (At least that’s how it works for me when I feel down.) Your readers understand what’s happening and will give you plenty of slack until you’re ready to go again.
From what I can tell, you seem like an intelligent, caring, good-hearted person. Maybe you’re trying a little too hard. A lot of us have found true love when we least expected it. Don’t get discouraged. New possibilities emerge every day.

Oh, that is terrible… can’t believe that people went that far, however, it is because you are loved… I don’t know how it got around that you might be sucidial and it doesn’t matter, people were just soooooooooooooo worried about you… I am so relieved… I cried so hard for you… Bobby, my life has been a mess too, but, man, I can tell you I do not feel pain or remorse from it… one day when you feel better, you and I should take the time to get to know one another, I am from the worst life you could ever imagine and I am fine… please, think about it… I agree with you about anti-depressants, they are worse than the actual condition… they gave me valium many years ago and I could not even remember my last name so flushed them down the toilet… stupid me, could have made some bucks from them.. ha! God bless you and keep you and embrace you in His arms… and your Mother, poor thing, that would have caused me to have heart failure… such a caring bunch of people…
like you as well, I had to pull back from being so friendly with everyone… it is easy for some of these people because they have sites which require little effort day to day… so, here too, I can relate with you… I do what I can, and, while it may have affected my growth to make it slower growing, I am holding my ground without being so socialable, so, consider that you DON’T have to nor need to be that involved in the social aspect of it…
We must always keep ourselves at a pace which will enhance that which we do and our personalities; there is no other effective way to progress… know what I mean?
Well, dear one, again I am so relieved and so happy to have heard from you… my heart and soul were heavy with worry and concern… I am one who did not detect suicide in your open letter, but, none the less was extremely concerned for you state of mind and heart…
Take care and please, when you have taken some time to come to a comfort zone, drop me a line and let me know how you are, please???
Blessings and peace and God hold you until you are secure in your stance…. hugs to you and heartfelt care….

How are you our dude?
I am a little more tied up at work recently. Plus my new apartment is coming and I am now quite stressed in choosing furniture and deciding what style of deco to adopt.
No matter what you are doing now, while you are recovering and recharging your inner batteries, be absolutely sure that your blog buddies are quietly standing by you. Waiting for our super dude to stand up again.

By the comments I have seen here and posts elsewhere I know that you have many, many blogger friends who are here for you. I know this is not the same as having friends that you can just meet up with, but each and every one of them is prepared to stand and be counted and will do whatever they can to help you through.
Life sure isn’t a bowl of cherries is it? I can bear testament to that!!
You WILL conquer this and there are so many of us whom you have touched in many ways. Take your time, we will still be here, none of us is going to walk away……we don’t do that, we stand united.

THE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS HEARTBREAK
How many times will you break my heart,
Which has been ravaged, it is torn apart…
How long will I feel like I could die,
How many tears must I cry?
When does it get better, the end I cannot see,
Oh, how could you do this to me???
I waited all of my life for you,
I loved you with a love so true,
That I would have done anything,
To you I would have given everything,
But, it was not enough, you left me anyway,
And, I have been tormented, day after lonely day…
I wake up and reach for you, where your head did lay,
Sometimes I tell you I hear you say,
My name, but, as I look around,
You are no where to be found,
And, the pain begins fresh and new,
Oh, if you only knew what you have put me through…
Others tell me that I will heal,
To which I have to appeal;
They have no idea how much I loved you,
They cannot feel what I do,
No, I cannot share this with anyone,
And, I wonder if it will ever be done…
I loved you on first sight,
We hit it off just right,
We came to be,
So easily…
And, then you took your love away,
Leaving me in a world which is empty and grey….
It has been quite a while since you left me cold,
Still you are the one I would gladly hold,
For the rest of my life, yes, you are yet the one,
Who makes me feel the sun.
Oh, my darling, I miss you so,
Why did you have to go???
I did manage to put you behind,
In the recesses of my mind,
I do not think of you all the time,
You now live in the sublime,
Though my heart is still full of your essence,
I have moved on beyond your presence…
They all tell me that love will come again,
That it will be better than it has ever been;
I cannot see that happening, still I wish for it,
That I might one day completely forget,
You, who took my very soul,
You, who left me out of control…
I write this today, that I might release,
Some of that pain which seems not to cease,
I pray to God that I will live once more,
That I will find the happiness of before,
And that I will get over this unbearable pain,
That I will truly love again…
Take care, you who came like a thief in the night,
To rob me of all which is good and right,
I am certain to love you, that is going to be,
Though perhaps, someday, it won’t be in misery,
That you come to haunt me, and maybe it will subside,
This awful aching, this deep loneliness inside…
Farewell to you, it is time to get real,
That I allow myself to heal.
One day you might realize,
What you did to me with you lies.
Farewell love of the wrong kind,
In saying goodbye, I can turn to healing, body, heart, mind and soul, that I put you far behind…
There is amongst us here in the blogworld, a man who is suffering beyond human suffering due to a woman who broke his heart so bad that he is lost in that pain, and, though it has been a long while since it happened to him, he has taken leave from us as he is drowning in that pain. We wish him well, and, we wish he could see that each of us have had our heart broken so bad that we thought we would never be the same again, but, we refused to succumb to the darkness of the pain, hence, we healed, and, some of us moved on to actually find REAL love which has brought nothing but the best of life and love. It CAN happen and it WILL happen, IF we allow it to… God Bless you and keep you, and, may He lead you to the understanding that what you are suffering is not the suffering of REAL love, for REAL love will not forsake you…. Please, heal and find strength to find love in all its wonderful glory… We are here for you, we really are!

Bobby – Trust me when I tell you this -I’m writing this in the same vein as I was using earlier talking to my son – you two could be twins in attitude and problems right now – you may THINK you do not needs meds but honey, odds are that you do! Counseling – finding a GOOD counselor – is also another item you need to put on your “TO DO LIST” and do it ASAP too!
Because some meds didn’t work doesn’t mean there are no other meds, one or two of which might do wonders. Call a Crisis Center in your area and find out where, what you can do to get the help you need. It is available but you may have to do some digging, a little work, phone calls, to find it and then TAKE IT!
Please?

Hi Bobby. This is the first time I have visited your blog. Jeni from Down River Drivel sent me over to take a look. She suggested that they you may be going through a difficult time right now. As I read over many posts in your blog I have noticed that you get a tremendous amount of support from your readers. I was glad to see this. Although this comment may be one in over a one hundred and it may take you awhile to get to it, it is my hope that you truly believe that you are not alone in your struggles with depression as noted by your blogging friends. It is my professional opinion however that seeking out a good mental health professional in your area could help tremendously in learning to manage your highs and lows since you have made the choice to do this without medication. I am a mental health professional and I too have had to seek out help to learn to manage my disorder. Understanding our illness and learning the triggers and how to manage them goes a long way in keeping those ‘level’ periods at a maximum. One thing I have learned from experiences such as your own, is to not delete your blog. In a very low period I deleted my first blog, and it is something I now regret. It is a part of who you are and it appears that you have a very supportive community. I pray that your break restores and refreshes you. Stop by and visit me when you get a chance.

Hallos Bobby,
You can’t imagine how that shout in my shout box and the little comment of Thank You that you left in my site meant to me this morning when I first logged on.
I feel so helpless that we are but virtual friends to you. Do you know how much we be able to but drinks and chips and pizzas and all gather at your place to show you our PRESENCE. It’s natural to feel lonely at times. I shut out every single person in my circle when I was down with depression. Hence I know it is senseless to tell you to cheer up now.
Let us walk through this with you. Despite the distance apart, we are all here for you. We know that you need some space now. It is perfectly natural to feel so. Be gentle on yourself. Don’t feel bad that you are somehow not living up to some standards that we perceive you should be. Or pressurize yourself to put on a mask of being better .. to soothe us. Bobby, …Don’t do that.
Go through this with awareness. I am sure this episode has very important and divine intentions for you. Every dark moments in life, can make us into a stronger person or break us into pieces. Remember that. It’s a choice. The choice is yours.
I am here with you.
with a thousand smiles.

I understand completely your need to have 1 true love and it’s not whimpy-it is commendable. I’ve been in your shoes, at least in the way of loving someone who for whatever reason chose not to be with you anymore-it can be debilitating because you put everything you had to give into the relationship. I know you feel like nothing seems worth doing right now and it’s all lost meaning. I think execising is a good choice-it will expend energy and calm you. Maybe when you feel a little better consider getting a pet. I know it’s not a replacement for the love you lost, but pets force you to keep on living and give you something else to think about besides yourself. And there’s nothing like a good lick in the face to make everything seem better. Just a thought. I wish you the best, and join all the others who wish we could be there to help you in person. Take care bud…it will get better in time, I promise. Someday you will meet the person you really are meant to be with, and all this hurt will just be a bad memory.

I don’t have much to say except, I am sorry your heart is hurting so bad. As we all know it is not an easy thing to go through and I hope you find your way out. If I had some advice, I would certainly offer it, but I think you are correct when you say you need time.

Bobby – you have intrapersonal talents and are deeply artistic. People like you have big feelings. I’m sure there’s a flow to follow this current ebb. Do you like Ice Cream? What’s your favorite kind? I’d say after a day like today ice cream is in order.

I have tears in my eyes reading this post. I really wish I knew what to say to make you feel better…
I don’t think you should delete your blog, that would just waste all the effort you’ve put into it. Maybe you should take a break for a while, give yourself a rest from it, I’m sure your friends will still be around for you whenever you feel like coming back.
Don’t feel like you have to visit everyone that visits you, that’s too much. Seriously, nobody should expect that from you.
I hope things improve for you and I hope your mother feels okay x

Bobby,
As you may know I am in the process of publishing an entire book on my site called “The Empowerment Process.” There are a couple of poems that I wrote for this process that I feel fit this situation. I hope you get the chance to read them:
“The Rain Will Fall”
A soft wet mist engulfs the city
As a blue sky fades into a sad shade of gray.
A dark and dreary rain descends
As the sun successfully hides from the day.
The wind howls like a wounded beast
As it swoops down with its twists and its swirls
Leading dead leaves in a frantic dance
And so another day unfurls.
The cold clammy fingers of the day overcomes you
As your happy dreams sadly fade away.
Your life seems so very dark and dreary
As you hopelessly try to hide from the day.
Your thoughts reach out for a shapeless past
As you retrace your life’s twists and turns
In your frantic search to find yourself
Your day begins and your heart still yearns.
Be still, take heart, reflect a while.
For soon this will pass and then you will know
That behind that tragic mask you wear,
As behind the wind, the cold and the snow
That the sun still shines and the birds still sing.
For this sadness you feel befalls us all.
No one, as yet has lived untouched,
Because into each life some rain must fall.
“Despair”
Stand in the face of total despair
And hold your head up high,
And look beyond as you declare
That through this you will fly.
Nothing will stop you short of death.
You’ll feel sorry for yourself no more.
And you are far from your last breath
As you set sight on a distant shore.
This is only a temporary state.
You know this in your heart.
You will not let this be your fate.
From this place you will depart.
There is a better place for you.
This truth you must uncover.
Don’t waste your time feeling blue.
The passion, you must re-discover.
Only you can do it now.
It’s all within your control.
See what can be and take this vow,
To “Never lose sight of your goal.”
The blogesphere will always be here. We who have come to know and respect you will always be here. Do what you have to do. Take the time that you need. Do what you know to be right for you.
Take care my friend, and I hope to see you soon.
Mel

Hi Bobby,
Though I’m just another blogger/reader out in cyber world (found you via AntiBarbie), you have my most heartfelt support. I know how overwhelming depression can be. I was severely depressed for about 4 years myself. But it’s been some time since then, but I’ve never had a suicidal thought since, and have never looked back.
Don’t worry about your blog, but I do look forward to reading your next post!
My thoughts and prayers will be with you. A great love of your life will find you, you have a kind heart!
