The Truth About Tiggs: Or The "Hawkeye Pierce" Syndrom

[Guest]

I'm sure many of you here think you know me...who I am. But, do you really? If you were to meet me in person would you be able to guess that I was the same buddily, flirtatious Tiggs online? Yes, I know I have said in past that the "real" me was the same as the "online me", which more or less is true... It's just that there's a me that most don't know, that I usually try to hide. You see, I suffer from depression. Now, here comes the title to my thread. If you've never seen the show M*A*S*H, then you won't understand what I am talking about. I can totally relate with Alan Alda's character Hawkeye Pierce. In the show, he used humor to mask him real feelings. I find that I do that too. Okay, I know I'm just rambling on, and I apologize for this. I just felt like I needed to vent some. I've been dealing with a lot of shit in my life right now and have felt very alone... ~sigh~ I'm sure I'll feel better soon enough. To those who read this, thank you and I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry, as many times as you given us all a giggle, you're entitled. I hope you feel better soon and believe me, I understand.

 

[CreamyLady]

HUGS. I understand, too.

 

[Siren]

Never apologize for true emotions Tiggs

Look, I know how to cheer you up. There's this place in Chicago that sells great ribs -- Adams Ribs. I'll have Radar call them and send them to B.J.'s wife and they'll be here in no time. And, yes, I know to remember the cole slaw. Look the choppers are coming, I gotta' go. Damn this war. Damn this inhuman, insufferable war. What the hell are we doing in Korea? And why does Korea look like the California Wine Country? Is this a backdrop? It IS! What the hell is going on here?

Damn war!

I cant do much for ya Tiggs. But i can give you a hug if you like? They always make me feel a little better!!

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

"Um?" What do you mean "um"? It's a M*A*S*H reference, Tiggs, just for you. Tried to make you laugh. I can't hug you, I can't make you dinner, I can't buy you a drink, so I tried to make you laugh. "Um?" Should I not have tried?

im not a literotica guru or anything, but when it comes to depression, nobody knows more than me. evryone can say they understand but im sure youve just nodded your head at them but have been thinking there is no way they really could. and then you cry some more. honestly tiggs, i have been there. you are a beautiful woman whos comedy has shone through on this site many times. maybe you could call it a front, but it must come from somewhere within you. you have so much to offer. and no matter what shit comes along the way it has to be dealt with. and as corny as it sounds and as much as i have always hated hearing it...what doesnt kill you will make you stonger. and i am living proof of that. but god knows theres only so much we can take at one time before we feel like we're going to crack. so do domething for you tiggs. take a few days and focus on you. what can you do to change things for yourself. then make it happen. i hope maybe ive helped even a little bit. and although i may not know exactly what the situations are that youre dealing with, as far as the depression goes...i do know how you feel. and you are forever free to contact me because nobody should ever feel alone. take care and feel better tiggs.

I'm sorry DCL, I took it more as sarcasm than humor. I guess I should lighten up more.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Hope your worries disappear soon.

 

[Scotty 2 Hotty]

Tiggs sweety...

miss seeing you around... even if you do bash me occassionally *smiles*

we all realize the internet for what it is... a place to escape reality.. a place to reveal our inner selfs without revealing our real selfs

the hard times make us stronger baby... and i know sometimes it seems like they will never pass.. but eventually your load will lighten

i dunno that i have any soul inspiring words for you... or anyting to say that will lift up your spirits.. but if you need someone to listen with their heart and mind... feel free to email me darling {{hugz}} SK~

~Falling Up~

I watch them fall
out of fantasy,
out of love
I've been there before

Spiralling they fall
Eyes full of pain,
hearts full of sorrow
I've been there before

Looking up in awe
I don't try to comfort them,
I couldn't comfort myself
I've been there before

I watch as they continue
their journey downward, past me.
I am falling up
I know, I've been here before

 

[Guest]

I've bashed you before SK?

Hey Tiggs,

Big hug for you from over here. As a newbie who "lurked" for weeks I found myself looking forward to several of the "regular's" postings and yours is included. And, if I remember correctly you're close enough I could cook you supper. Depression's a big wave that's difficult to ride out. When you do, your soul is stronger, hang on.

 

[Samuari]

Tiggs, I am so sorry that I made light of you. Please understand that I would never hurt you or anyone else that I respect, and like. I just trying to have fun. I grew up on the M*A*S*H series, it shaped the way that I saw the world, and I went into a funk when haweye entered the hospital. If you need professional help, do not hessitate in getting it.They do very good work now, and will have you back together in no time.

Kitten I love the poem! Is it yours? Its very good.

Tiggs, here's hoping you pull out of your funk real soon. If it simply becomes too much, don't bear the entire weight on your own shoulders, tell Tuttle about it. He understands everything and doesn't complain when you lay heavy shit on him. You never know, it just might make you feel better.


And if that doesn't do it, back up five yards and punt.
