My job just ended Oct 31st, and I was already sad at having to say good bye to so many clients. I lost all of these amazing connections because my program was cut. In August my most beloved client died. That was devastating also.

> On top of it all of my friends have flaked on me. I am having a really hard time being alone. my boyfriend lives with me, but is working all of the time. I can't be alone.
> I am really a wreck and thinking I might go into the hospital for a couple of days. I can't be alone.

April, are you being treated for depression? I mean are you on medication? It sounds as if you are experiencing this trauma at a level that is dangerous. If you are feeling bad enough that you can't be alone, you need to get some help. If you have a doctor, call him or her.

The loss of a pet is a terrible event. But it sounds like it is triggering memories of some past traumas that may need to be dealt with.

I wish you the best and my sympathies for your loss.

Marsha
