Tired of thinking negatively.  I just want to meditate and be peaceful and not have to deal with... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/444306/92334/hard-time http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/444306/92108/negatively Sun, 25 Oct 2009 09:05:10 -0400 Marishka Hi everyone,   I'm confused. I would like to complain to get it off my chest too...   Too many things to deal with, to think about.  So frustrated, not moving forward, once again.  So frustrated, so much pain.
