Dinah:
I honestly didn't make the association with your name, and I was just adding the dire importance to leave no choices "untried". I honestly think that is really the key...never-ending hope. It's frustrating as hell, but I also think a beautiful human quality. Maybe that is why we all post on here, even if it's just to rant, to see how other people have dealt with a situation.
Please take care..
Jay :-)
> Jay,
> I appreciate your concern.
> I'm afraid I may have made things sound worse than they are. I suppose you are thinking of my post on the other board. I knew that was a mistake even while I was posting it - very embarassing. It was like typing "pathetic loser" on my forehead. It caught me at a time when I was especially sensitive about depending on a paid professional, since I don't really like to depend on anyone.
> I have a good life, a great family, and enough friends to suit an introvert like myself. It's just that I don't really feel comfortable burdening them with the darker stuff. People who aren't familiar with depression tend to overreact. That's all.
