I need to go away for a while

[hoover1060]

This is probably the most difficult thing I have ever had to put into words. I've been on a roller coaster of sorts for a few months, and now its time for me to help myself.

I've always thought of myself as a strong person, however now I'm just worn out and worn raw. I need to shut down, retreat off to a corner someplace and pick up the pieces by myself.

I can't say how long I'll be gone, I don't know how long it will take to fix me. I can promise I won't be gone forever, I will be back.

For now though I need to go, have my good cry, grieve, and then move on to healing. I promise I won't do anything foolish.

Everyone I have come in contact with here has been absolutely wonderful, I have made some terrific friends here, I will miss you all, and promise we will meet again sometime.
Peace to everyone...
Your Hoover man
Jeff

Jeff,

Call me anytime.

Jeff, Hoover Man, Don't let anyone tell you to "just suck it up." Get the proper care you need. It's not as bad as the girls who left school to spend a year helping "Aunt Susan who lives far away."

You are well loved and will be very missed.

You Are Enough

My amazing discovery after years of anguish, was that I wore the Ruby Slippers. You, Jeff, are the Beloved Expression of a Creator who loves and cherishes you. The same Spiritual entity that took the time to put all the pieces of your body, personality and intellect into making you, is there with all the wisdom, support, strength and intervention you will ever need. You can tap in anytime. Like any loving parent the Creator is missing you and wants to know your okay. You are enough. As silly and selfish as it sounds, love yourself first and authentically and it all becomes clear. That is when I met sisters Ease and Grace in a book called Science of the Mind, by Earnest Holmes. With the intervention of antidepressents, an amazing therapist and the SAFE support of a loving community in Spirit at Center for Spiritual Living, I dropped the cast iron force field and sorted the storage container of my past. Now my life is a demonstration of Ease and Grace. You are enough, Jeff. You are loved and cherished. You are very special. I am a keystroke away, if there is anything I can do to help you know that for yourself.

Dear Jeff,

I'm sorry that you came at such a point in life. From experience I can tell that things will only get better from here now you acknowledged that things are not going well for you. I'm touched by the fact that you trust us enough to share this with us. I wish you the very best and hope to see you posting here soon again.

Take care,

Louis

Hoover! We've all been there and had to take a step back to regroup. I myself just recently returned from a rest break.

Whatever it is we're here for you, just say the word. If it is something going on in the background that you'd rather not broadcast, the important thing is to know you don't have to walk alone. There are times when everything seems just a little too much, and that is the time to seek out good friends, family, your pastor, SOMEONE to help you sort things out.

Best of luck and hope to see you back at the rodeo soon!

Jeff, we'll miss you, I hope things work themselves out soon!

 

[oxydolfan]

Look, I'm new here, and don't even know you, but I hear what you're saying, and I hope things get hammered out as quickly as possible for you, so you feel comfortable hanging out here and participating in this forum for pleasure, not just to escape.

Take care!

The news is good!

I talked to Jeff tonight and he's sounding much, much better. He and Little Fred are busy making videos (unfortunately, not that kind...)and it sounds like they're having a gay old time, you should pardon the expression.

And, as usual, I'm missing out.

Don't know if he's keeping up with the forums, but I thought youall would like to hear the good news.

Jeff's back, baby!

Glad to hear that, Veg...

Everyone here really cares. It's obvious. Makes it feel good to participate, you know? Group hug? )
