Comments from the community

Don't underestimate the power of HOPE, with HOPE, it gives you strength/faith to focus the light at the end of the tunnel & keep walking towards it...

Without HOPE, you can't see the meaning of life & thus doing nothing constructive to your soul...

Learn to fight to get well & enjoy the process... =)

Take care!

Hi turquoise

I do not know the reasons for choosing your nickname. But a google search tells me that turquoise needs gentle care, cos it's sensitive to solvents, cosmetics and skin oils. The colour of turquoise will also change under prolonged exposure to sunlight.

When you continue to care for your inner self gently, you will find hope without having to consciously pine for hope.

Will you get well someday? Nobody can say for sure. Cos even if someone says yes, would you believe?

I agree wholeheartedly with waileng's comments. Please continue to take care of your inner self gently, patiently and soon you will find Hope in a form that you can identify and relate to.

Take care, turquoise

P.S Below is an extracted paragraph from this website, http://www.gemstone.org/gem-by-gem/english/turquoise.html

'The colour of the turquoise makes us feel happy and cheerful, for in it the light blue of the sky and the stimulating green of the sea are combined.

Indeed it is such an inimitable colour that we have coined a term specifically for it in our languages: turquoise. Anyone choosing a turquoise is sure to enjoy a piece of Heaven ... on Earth.

Thks all for encouragement. Guess, it would be nice if a few of us make our own support group too by meeting up once a mth to talk out.
