Thank you Thinker,

When in this state I can't even remember the helpful and important steps one should take to stay safe.

I appreciate you kindness, encouragement and the steps I need to remember (or maybe write down where I can see it) for my safety.

As far as friends, if they don't love me as I am, then they are not true friends. It's just that when they come from so far away to see us, I don't want to be in the dregs of depression--I want to show them a good time and have fun with them.

My friend is taking a plane from up north to FL. I want to be happy to take her to see the sights, a dinner theater, etc.

Ah, well. It is what it is I guess. I wish I could learn to embrace this awful illness.

What have you learned to do that is helping you to cope, Thinker?

Thanks much,
JourneyUpward
