Hi Thomas - Sorry you're feeling so down. 2 1/2 months ago I started to attend CoDependents Anonymous meetings. I have found a great deal of support from going there. People are very loving & caring. You might want to see if there's a meeting near you & attend to see what you think. In Ontario, Canada, where I live there's also "Depressed Anonymous". I haven't been to it, but I think the 12-step programs have helped a tremendous number of people. Post to me if you want any more info.

Take care, Kath
