  1. Molly – thank you.

    Love and peace… Derek.

  2. hello dear Molly
    I met a first class lady a couple of months ago, who impressed my a lot.Molly !
    Not only by the professionalism of your work, but first of all by your
    kindness and what I felt like humaneness. I felt your lonelyness also, perhaps because I do know that feeling so good myself.
    Ma father died in a car accident when I was twelve and my mom 11 years ago.
    nobody promised us only happiness living in this world, but the sun is always shining again after the rain.
    Molly I believe in you. I really do.
    hope to see you again soon.
    Pia

    Glad you’re ok, Molly.

  4. It’s good to hear from you and I hope you’re feeling better. The offer still stands if you need to vent.

  5. Thomas says:

    I don’t read your blog very often but your last entry … It’s nice to read you again. I hope that you can find your power again.
    All wishes from Wuppertal, Germany where the sun shines bright enough for you

    Greetings

  6. Hang in there Molly… and please continue to reach out to your friends. You had a lot of people thinking about you yesterday and we’re *all* happy to help or talk if you need it.

    You know where to find me if you need me.

  7. Marco says:

    Your last post was really heart breaking. I’m really happy to see you’re still going strong!

    Take care now and hang on in there. The world needs you.

    Oh happy day! Many thanks back. You have an excellent community here, Molly.

    Now for some thoughts on healing: You might try to get a hold of some evening primrose oil to help you with some of the addictive tendencies. In some of us of Northern European ancestry (in particular), there is an inability to covert essential fatty acids to prostaglandin 1. Alcohol actually helps the conversion take place and treats depression in people with this genetic defect. The gamma linolenic acid (GLA) found in evening primrose oil can help stop the vicious cycle. Also, primrose oil is helpful for females in particular and may aid in weight loss. It has helped me personally with such issues.

    I’m not saying that all of this is physiological, but I’d venture to say it could well have a large biological component for you. Get some good salmon, farm eggs and such to feed your brain the omega 3s it needs as well, if you feel inclined. Do you like sushi? You may want to look at the Weston A. Price Foundation’s articles for other nutritional ideas:

    Yoga might be beneficial for you as well. Health insurance is more like poor disease management here in the US. I have opted out of insurance at times myself. It can feel scary to be without it, but it just might be that you can find other, more helpful measures than surgery and drugs. Hopefully others will have some good tips for healing for you, in a less rambling incoherent offering as mine.

    So glad to have the opportunity to get to know you, very lovely lady that you are. You have a friend in Texas, which is Hell designate this time of year. Om Shanti.

    I went to bed praying for you last night. I only know you through this blog and of course your work. After listening to the seven plus hours of the excellent lynda.com tutorials on CSS, I now know the sound of your voice almost as well as I know and understand your ‘voice’ as a writer and woman.

    Anyone who reaches out to the world with the raw honesty we all read yesterday, and have read on many other occasions, has a powerful life force.

    Don’t be alone at these times when depression tries to extinguish that.

    Get medical help without regard for the cost. That will be solved another day.

    Return to the faith that lives within your soul.

    I will continue to pray for your healing.. mind, body, and spirit.

    The response to you is obviously a reaction as to how much you’ve affected people. You are a strong influence for good and that has been clear here. If you take strength from that and use it during harder times. You have touched mine and so many other’s lives even without meeitng the majority face to face, which shows power indeed. Your words have brought so much to so many and it is now time for you to draw from the words and support from others.

  11. Mauricio Espinosa says:

    Molly,

    I admire you. I admire your courage, your authenticity and your ability to connect with people. What you do is changing the world, little by little, one person at a time; it has a lot of worth, continue doing it! Your new Mexican friend. Mauricio

  12. Abilio says:

    Stay with us.
    We need you.
    You even can count with one stranger in Portugal.
    Be strong.

  13. tiffany says:

    I’m glad you saw your way out of the darkness that night. You scared the shit out of me.

  14. Carrie says:

    Big hugs.

  15. georgine says:

    Thank you our Molly. All together we can be strong. Much love and good thoughts to you.

    Molly –

    Today was my first visit to your site. I was reading your “Spring Into…” book and decided to see what your site looked like. It’s not what I expected.

    Your openness and honesty in your Friday post is startling. In many ways, I could have posted the same thing on my site. It took a great deal of courage to do that – too many people would be afraid to admit those feelings where (speaking as a long-time consultant) they are exposed to potential clients.

    But I also know that clients are the last thing on one’s mind when depression takes over. I have been there, and my own demons come almost every day. I sit alone in my house, with a cellar full of wine and booze, and large amounts of oxycontin, dilauded, valium and various other opiates at hand. The temptation to make that final “killer margarita” is strong. Like you, I have many friends, but only a few who have experienced anything like this. They understand; most of the others can’t, and all of their helpful words can seem like sophistry. I have to remind myself that they do care about me, and just don’t understand. I’m glad they can’t – feelings like these I would not wish on my worst enemy.

    I suppose what all this rambling boils down to is that you should know you’re not alone. There are people out there that you can talk to, who do understand.

    Hang in there,
    Bryan

  17. Patrick says:

    Molly, Thank *you*. Take care of yourself.

  18. Baxter says:

    Pete, you’re a real class act. Nice site, too.

    Jackass.

    Molly, best wishes to you.

  19. Jonathan says:

    It’s great to “hear” from you again Molly. As you can see, we love you too!

    * hug *

  20. Matt Burris says:

    Just a note to everyone not to visit Pete Shaw’s site, not to just ignore a troll which is wise, but because the guy clearly needs long term therapy. Just a warning.

    With that said, it’s good to see you’re okay, Molly. As I mentioned before, if you need a good laugh, you know I’m good for it. It won’t solve your problems, but laughter always gives us the fuel to go on, no matter how negative we may feel.

  21. Oniel says:

    I love you Molly! Keep strong.

  22. scrambled says:

    Glad you’re good Molly, be well. :)

  23. It’s the least we can do for those we love and I know you’d do the same were the situation reversed. I love you Molly.

  24. vanderwal says:

    Molly, I am very glad to see your post today. It was nice to have a quick chat last evening. Please remember to lean on us, you carry a lot on your shoulders and we are willing to share your load.

    Peace and love,
    Thomas

  25. Alex says:

    All the best to you. And “one more thing”: whether you know it or not, there will be people who will continue to pray for you, uphold you and support you in the future – in good times and bad – whether you even know it or not. The way you share yourself so freely shows what an amazing person you truly are, and you’ve affected the world more than you’ll ever know.

  26. gidibao says:

    Glad you’re ok Molly ;)

    have a nice day

  27. Steve says:

    Ouch, Molly. You frightened me!

    And you’ve scared me too.

    I’ve recently been diagnosed with a chronic illness, and now I’m staring down the barrel of a lifetime of pain, humiliation and medical intrusion. And I too am drinking more: to hide, to prove ‘I still got it!’ and that nothing’s changed. And I’m already frustrated, angry and just plain fed-up – and I’m only at the beginning of my journey. I don’t want to go to where you are now. And I didn’t really want to know how tough this could become.

    But still, I’m glad you spoke up becasue you’ve inspired me too Molly.

    I’m so proud of you. I know how hard it is to talk about the scary stuff – ‘if you don’t say it, then it isn’t real’. But you did it. YOU did it, from such a dark lonely place. There’s nothing scarier than being forced to accept how mortal we all really are, except starting the journey for a second time. And as gut churningly terrifying as that is, you’ve still spoken out. Good girl Molly.

    I’m so glad you’re still with us Molly.
    And I reall do hope you’ll tough this one out and stay a while longer.
