You know that I care about you, and yes, you know what I want you to do. I'm powerless to do anything but to keep caring about you, and I will always do that. I'm glad that you are honest with your T and that he knows about your feelings and your plans. Please keep being honest with him, and hanging on.

I understand not being able to hope for your pain to go away. I know that my depression will always come back again - I even told my T that I know that and he doesn't even try to argue that fact. But it doesn't stay that bad all the time. Even though it seems like all you're doing is just hanging on when you don't even want to do that, it doesn't have to be like that. I wish that you could forgive yourself for whatever you think you have done that is so bad that you have to live this way, and forgive yourself for being human - we don't have to be perfect - none of us are. You are a wonderful person, my sister and my friend, and the world is a better place because you are in it.

Love,
Wendy
