When I first came to the board nine months ago. I was very depressed. My daughter were working and My husband and I was not getting along. I was having as many as eight clusters a day all level 10. I was at the end of my rope so to speak. I felt so alone. Then I found this place CH.com! I had a aneurysm and found myself in the hospital. When I came home I found a letter from Drummer in my email. He called me on the phone the day after I got home. He and I became friends. He became my punching bag. When ever I had a bad night or bad day! I would email him and on the subject of the letter I would put punching bag. I could cuss the demon and say anything I wanted to in that letter. I would always find a reply from him, or get a phone call from him. Drummer lives a 1000 miles from me but I leaned on him. He never let me down.
Now jonny gave me a idea with his post. I would like to start a punching bag group. People who want to be punching bags write me. People who need support and would like a punching bag friend write me. I will make sure you have a punching bag. We all need support so don't be afraid to write. I do not know what I would have done without my punching bag!
