Hi Bridgie,
I'm sorry you're feeling so down! I definitely know what it's like to feel that way and to wish you had someone to talk to about it. If it weren't for the fact that I think we're around 1800 miles apart, I'd be happy to come over and listen to your troubles but seeing where I currently live, it'd take me quite a while to get there

I actually used to live in IA myself around 10 years ago. Des Moines to be exact.
Anyway, if I can help by "listening" on here I'd be glad to... Hope things improve for you as quickly as possible!
