The light goes out with the flash of an exploding bulb. You look for hope, but there's no one with hope with you. You dread these days, for when they come they remind you of how hard everything can be, and these days are the type that you can't see the end to see if there will be light again.
This is one of those days.
It might even become one of those months.

Unfortuantley, I've had one of those weeks too, and it's looking like it could well get worse.
Wishing strength for you to help you get through it.
Good luck, and take good care.

Well shit-this is not what I want to hear.
Hold on. It may seem like cold comfort, but you always find the light. Take care.

Here's to things looking up all around.

Isn't there some boxed saying about this? Like you have to have the dark to appreciate the light? (Granted I say fuck the dark give me light)Hang in there, and know lots of people are wishing you well.

Ah, fuck. *sigh*
There's another light bulb in the package. Just how many people will it take to screw it in? You will try to fiddle with it yourself but will realize that you need another hand to help. After some time and understanding you'll get that other hand and then the light will be a nice, warm yellow glow.
Just hang on. The light bulb is out there ... it's just hiding right now.

This whole past week has been like that for me. Hang in there - good thoughts coming your way from way over here.

You've just got to let it work itself out. In the meantime, try to take it easy and get on to the next day. You never know what it might hold.
Hugs!

How are you doing, Helen? When swimming gets too hard, turn on your back and float awhile. And breathe, breathe deeply. Know that there are lots of us out here in internet land that care about you.

You've been there before and you always find the way out. You're very strong, Helen, don't forget that.

Hang in there. Times like these are likes storms, best waited out in the company of friends. Don't forget that even the worst of storms has to end sometime. I hope your sun comes back out soon.

I think you need new socks. Toe socks, if possible.
Email me (a perfect stranger - but I'm from Nebraska, so I'm probably not a serial killer) your addy, and I will send you some. Looking forward to socks in the mail could be something to help hold on 'til the sun comes up.

In fact, perhaps you could take out a PO Box, and post that, and we could ALL send you socks.
But I refuse to participate in any sock mail chains. My mother made me participate in a dish towel chain once. Do you know how unexciting dishtowels are, when they come from people who don't know you?

H no matter what know... that there are people who love you and will be there for you at the drop of a heart beat in whatever way they can.

....thinking of you too. And I'll gladly send some Target socks (or anything else to put a spring in your step) your way once you get that PO box set up.

Mate, I'm so sorry you are in a bad place at the moment, I wish I could teleport myself there to give you an instant hug. I'm thinking of you, and I'll wait with you for the light.

Sometimes there are no words. But you do have a lot of love out here in the electronic void. And all of us hope that the light comes back on for you.

My normal response would be to post another stupid joke in the comments. For some reason, that seems inappropriate this time.
Anyway, what everyone else said. Take care of yourself.

yep. I know. Just dig through it, babe. Keep looking for the light and pinch yourself--as long as there is pain, you are alive.
Wish I could be your flashlight....
