Sorry I've not been on line at all the last week or so, been really down, angry, depressed, cryimg, exhausted the whole ball of wax. what klittle energy I do have left over and in my more sane moments I have been giving them to one of my best friends that is suffering dreadfully from depression. she was admitted to the hospital on suicide watch. she is having trouble getting a pdoc and she does not even have a reg. doc because her's moved away. so she was temporarily taken on by one of the other docs. He has been medicating her but the meds are not right and she is suffering a lot of side effects. She is in no shape to return to work and her doc filled out her disability forms ( reluctantly). She has been referred to mental health, so hopefully she can get a pdoc. He can then diagnose her properly and help fill out the necessary forms. she needs a lot of help right now. I spent all of Fri with her until her hubby came home because she had suicidal tendencies.
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers even if i'm not in touch. Keep writing to me and sending me your special hugs. I need them. i am going to try!!! to answer the most recent journals, all total right now I have 207 emails, not possible to answer them all. I send out positive thought to everyone. Be well, Debbie

You are such a dear to spend time with a hurting friend in need. Plus your not feeling the best yourself. I hope your friend gets the help she needs and that you start to feel better too. Take care, Debbie, hugs Cathy

Was beginning to worry that something had happened to you. So sorry that you are going through a rough time of it right now. Be sure when caring for your friend that you take good care of you too. It can be extremely draining supporting someone who is depressed when we have little energy in reserve for ourselves.
You are in my thoughts Debbie. Don\'t worry about answering my messages, I am just glad to hear from you

Debbe, I am so sorry you dont feel well. This time of year can be so hard on us. I will definately keep your friend in my prayers along with you. I know you love her and want to help but please try not to do it at the expense of your own good health. Luv and hugs
This is an awful strain for you. No wonder you are not feeling well. Your friend is lucky to have you but don\'t do anything at the expense of your own health. I don\'t want you to end up in the hospital.
