Not that you asked, its because I have too much time on my hands, I'll post something, go have a coffee and rethink what I wrote, and want to add or clarify something, its becoming a pattern.
I just wanted to add to the woman who told you "you're good" and much it meant. I know exactly what you mean.
I was at a small coffee shop a while ago, and they had one of those "bulk bean" dispensers. I filled up my bag and realized I'd gotten the wrong kind. I went up to the owner and said what at happened so she could put them back in the dispenser. She said "you are such a nice thoughtful girl, you know how many people just leave the bags and we don't know what kind they are so we can't put them back and it costs a lot of money, You are so nice have a cup of coffee no charge"
I had my coffee and went home and cried because it had been so long since anyone had said anything nice (of course I hardly went out) as you said the depression makes you assume you are worthless.Its amazing what those few words can do. She could have just said "oh thanks" she has no Idea the effect it had.
