Sending you a lot of hugs and love, dearest Sona. Please hang up there, there is a lot of people who love you and need you!
You look so radiant and beautiful in these pictures, I would never guessed wht you went through. Please take a good care of yourself!

Sona you are so brave posting here. We see your beautiful smiling face, and want to help you any way we can, but you are the one struggling with the hard work to be well. Please stay brave for your family and friends and everyone who loves you, and especially for yourself. You are worth it.

So sorry, and a reminder that external appearance can be deceiving. I'm glad you are still here with us and are so brave.

Sona, you have a radiant smile that ALWAYS makes me happy to see in your posts! I hope you are feeling better soon. Keep posting, dear, and know that we are all thinking of you and cherish your presence on YLF!

Sona, you are a light in this world. Thank you for continuing to shine.

Your beautiful daughter and dear husband as well as every memer of this forum are blessed to have you here. You look absolutely beautiful. You are in my thoughts, and please never forget how important you are to so many lives.

I am PMing you, Sona.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing yourself with us. There are so many here who are willing to extend their hand back.

And - you look fabulous!

Sona, I am devasted to hear this. A while back , I was very concerned about the possibility of suicide, which is why I tried calling you a couple of times..... this is just so difficult and being away from your family and isolated makes it harder. But please remember what this would do to your mom and your daughter. Hang onto that. Keep seeing your doctor, often. You were meant to live for a lot more than being a sartorial role model to us. YOU are worth LIFE.

You look lovely. I can't wait for the smile to reflect genuinely how you feel inside.

I'm at a loss for words but just want to send prayers, hugs and good thoughts your way.

Sona - I've been away from the forum but always love looking at your posts. I am sure you are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside and that with the right support and care you will truly believe this and th t you have the capacity to overcome or accept all the obstacles that life has thrown at you. Big hugs!

Sona, you look gorgeous as always. I hope you continue to get all the help and love you need from your loved ones and support network. You deserve all that and more!

I too am at a loss for words, you look absolutely gorgeous and if didn't know I would never have guessed the sadness behind your brilliant smile. Know that my thoughts are with you. Big hugs!

Sona, I hope that you can find the light that we see in you. Sending many hugs and good wishes for you.

Oh Sona. I couldn't read and not post. You are NOT alone and you are most definitely meant to LIVE. Look at the life in your photos! You're a stylish and beautiful light but more importantly, you're valuable and needed int the world simply because you're you, with all your strengths, weaknesses, talents and imperfections.

I think it's an honor that you feel safe enough here to share this with us. <3

Oh Sona, big huge hugs. You are loved and needed by not only your daughter and whole family, but all of us here at YLF. There would be a huge hole in all of our hearts if you weren't here. I am so glad that you are reaching out for help and wish you comfort and strength for all the days ahead. We are all behind you! (And you look fab as usual, that goes without saying!)

Hi Sona - you DO look fab! I wish you strength to keep fighting!

Sona, my presence on here has been sporadic lately, however I have read enough to know you are a very beautiful person inside and out and are loved by so very many people all over the world! Keep on fighting for wellness.

You look beautiful in your stunning blue, black, white combo. I look forward to seeing your next outfit and your beautiful smile! x

Sona it's hard to know what to say, so just know I am praying for you and that you are special, beautiful, important and loved. Your outfit is stunning and you look gorgeous! Take care xx

Sona, I'm not sure what to say, but know that you are with me in my thoughts. I think you are a beautiful woman with a warm heart and I hope you will keep fighting for your own recovery. My brother has been deep down there, too, and I've seen the struggle it is to get up again. But you can do it, I'm sure of it. Big hugs!

Sona, I was shocked speechless by this post (been a laggard on YLF for a bit), but I just had to find the words to say 'hang on, please! you're more than worth living for!'

I know I for one count you as someone who changed my life for the better --- and it made me a better person in the bargain to have a role model like you to look up to. I wanted you to know this, and I hope---with all my heart--- that you can believe it yourself wholeheartedly, how very valuable and precious and inspiring you are. Even more so than your name might suggest, you are a bright, shining light. Please keep believing that and I pray that you find the strength to keep the faith.

Sona, on a more practical note, I had the same thought as missvee --- not just about your seizure medication but also about the many hormonal changes you've been through of late. Revisit them ALL with your caregivers, please --- it might be a very simple switch that makes you feel sunnier again. At least, I sincerely hope so.

And in the meantime, hard work though it is... hold on! Thank you so much for honouring us with your confidence, and we'll all try to be here for you, I know, as much as possible. I hope you will also find the same confidence in those closest to you physically, both in your family and circle of friends as well as among your caregivers --- let them hold your hand and hold on tight so you can do what it takes to beat this demon and come back stronger.

I will continue to wish you strength, both of mind and body --- the shakti of the goddess herself --- and hold you close in my thoughts.

Sona, I am holding you in my heart and wishing you peace. You are very brave to have shared this and even braver still to keep on looking for a way to move out of this pain. Take care!

What a great plan! Go for it! That blue is divine on you!

Thanks to each and everyone of you. I want to also especially thank all those who pm'd me, reached out to me and shared with me. It means more than words can say. My wonderful psychiatrist has told me many a time like so many of you just did and this is what usually helps me: that my daughter's life would be forever changed if I were to be gone. That it would be the defining moment of her life from which she would never recover.

I think of a simple thing today: how much she ( bebe) enjoys YLF and has her own 'fab of the fabbers' whose outfits she loves to see. I hope that I can live to see her own YLF posts someday filled with teenage angst and all.

Thank you my friends.

I dont know you Sona but I have just read yours and everybody's posts in this thread and there are tears streaming down my face, Please dear Sona, continue to take one day at a time and be there for you daughter. You have a lot of love here. x

Sona, that is right, bebe would be devastated and never, ever recover. Remember too that you are a role model for her. If there turns out to be a genetic component to this ( because it is definitely biological ) YOU will teach bebe how to fight it. Right now, bebe is you. Bebe needs to know there is hope. My love to you both !!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Oh, Sona, while you look lovely on the outside, it sounds like you are really hurting on the inside. Sending you a hug and encouraging you to talk to someone you trust. Know that you are loved and may you find that love for yourself.

Ohh sweet Sona, I burst into tears right in the middle of work when I read this! I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are able to share with us your beautiful smiling photos. Whatever sadness is within, at least from without you are looking Absolutely Fab. *BIG HUGS*

Sona, I'm sending you lots of virtual hugs. I know how challenging it can be to struggle with depression, so will be cheering you on as you work on combating that and showering yourself with love and respect. BEAUTIFUL smile and you look sensational in blue.

Oh Sona! You're always so radiant, I think some of us - especially total forum slackers like myself! - didn't recognise the reality of the situation. Your YLF sisterhood is with you, and will remain with you for whatever you need. We outright refuse to lose your beautiful smile!
