The Thread For Long-Time Members To Check In...

I've been trying to check back more this week and see what has been happenin' around here

 

I hope you keep it up!

 

Thank you

 

I've been around here lurking for the most part since before I should have been on here. I stopped coming on here after about 2015 because my wife and I were working on our marriage. So, for about the last 5 years I haven't really been on here because my wife didn't want me to be on here. But unfortunately my wife passed away on September 13, 2019 so I'm now recently widowed with no friends besides my wife so here I am again just checking out what I've missed and maybe to find some friendships to help me get through this stuff.

 

So sorry about your loss. Condolences.

 

My condolences, Loki. And best wishes with moving forward.

 

Sorry for your loss Loki.

 

How awful. So very sorry for your loss Loki.

 

Thank you ❤

 

Hey everyone! Remember me? It's the same old HUGEisElegant, just a different user pic.

I just wanted to stop in to say I'm still here! Sadly, since the summer in particular, life has been pretty hard for me on several fronts. Luckily, I am healthy and all that, but I had someone pass away who was very close to me, as well as several other things that I won't mention here. It's just been one event, calamity and hardship after another, so I just haven't been around for the last several months. I joined Dims this past June and was very active for about the first couple months or so, but then just mysteriously disappeared, and for that I am sincerely sorry.

I can assure you I have certainly not forgotten about the fine people here, and I have actually lurked from time to time, but I have just been pretty depressed for a long time about several things and I just haven't felt up to being online much the last several months.

But I'm back again. For how long? I'm not sure, but it's felt nice to post a bit here today. Sadly, life is still kind of tough for me right now, so I still don't know how regularly I'll be here, but I'll certainly try to not be as much of a stranger here as I have been for the last 6 months or so!

Anyway, I hope all has been well with everyone here, and I hope to see more of you soon! I know I have been gone, but I've missed you guys!

Cheers,

HUGEisElegant

 

Depression is a hell of a beast.

 

It sure is. It can be extremely difficult to pick yourself up again. It's not easy. Hopefully you're not in the same camp!

 

Glad to see you post, but sorry to hear you've been struggling with that beast. Anything you want to share, you know you will find people cheering for you here.
