@Leed, what you are saying is very healthy...I am working toward that myself. and I agree that everyone on earth could use a few sessions with a therapist!!!

@garden gal-I know how you feel. recently I was so down and struggling that I asked my pastor for prayer and explained why, it was embarrassing at first but I felt better afterward. I also decided that since my kids were older I could let them know what I was going through, because I always tried my best to hide it from them before. it helps me see that its not a failing on my part and I can fight it. also I think reaching out to others helps us heal. Good Luck, I hope every thing goes well!!
