Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I was also thinking today about how fragile things in life are, and particularly the relationships we have with others (all kinds of relationships). I've always had this romantic notion that the relationships we build are incredibly steadfast or impenetrable. Then I realized that I myself am neither of those things so how can I hope to build a relationship that is? I feel like things in life that we value are like tissue paper, easily ripped, if not obliterated by things that happen to us, or things we make happen. It takes tremendous effort for me to tie a thread between me and another person only to have it snapped in an instant.
Is this reality? Is there any hope that I will find my own niche of close friends, and a partner who can truly love me through all my ups and downs? Or is it a myth? Or only for certain special people?

Relationships DO start out as fragile, but, with time and nurturing, they become stronger. When the relationship is a good one, it can weather all kinds of adversity. Be patient, and it WILL come for you. You will build friends as you move through life.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
