you are feeling this way, well, both you and Beth. It's hell when people try to tell you just what you need to do. My brother did that to me once and I wrote him a letter telling him that I needed his understanding not his pity and the way he tried to tell me what I needed to do to "fix" the problem. I told him that he had no idea what he was talking about and really didn't need him to tell me what I needed to do to feel better. This was my oldest brother that I adored before that stupid piece of advice that I should just try to ignore the way I felt. What an ass.
Honey, please know you can call me any time you feel like it. I know how you're feeling and I wish I had the answers for your depression but I can't help that but sometimes just talking it over with someone who knows what you're going through helps. Sorry but I think I'm rambling on.
Love and Prayers for you now and always.
