I just finished a reply to expand on the things that have combined to trigger this recent slide - a large part of it having to do with losing my 20 year old precious and lifelong companion cat, Morris, which coincided with my current depressive. Other stressors included a short "engagement" that turned out to be a con-man (thank goodness I got out of that one before it would have turned into a hideous marriage!! However, there are concerns that he may have poisoned my younger cat, Kali!! Then there was the ever-present, "Corporate America" chaotic multi-tasking where nothing is ever good enough. (Coupled with my illness I'm actually surpised I function as well as I do!)

Then I tried to change my sig to have a little cat with paws but for some strange reason, that didn't work. Using the same format I had for my other sig by MP, it all worked fine.

Now I'm starting to run down from the Ativan I've taken and need to get to bed. Maybe I'll go through that story again, but it takes a lot of energy from me.

Thank you so much {{{greenfairy, Fuzzybear, Darkeyes, Bipolar_Bear and Jenn/MP}}}}}

I know on a website, often all we have is words to offer, but taking the time to write them means a LOT to me.

Thank you!
