thanks guys. Na, I just don't like it when my eyes get puffy. I pulled out the Hemmroid cream just b/c I heard that works well on puffy eyes. I might just get in my pjs tonight and eat ice cream and play with the dogs. I totally just want to do that ALL weekend. Is that allowed?

Yea, I've NEVER had a problem crying. I just don't think it makes me feel better, per say. I just feel embarassed about it and try and hide it- weakness!!! Or so I think sometimes. It's fine when others cry, but I don't need to cry when there are people out in the world without food, or a home, dying of cancer. Idk.

I'm seeing my parents on Saturday, as we have a 3 hour drive together, and I am thinking of just letting them in on how I"m doing. My mom also suffers from depression, so she is very in-tune with what is going on, her feelings, and is really aware of when I'm down (sometimes even before I know that something is up). Couldn't hurt letting them know. Mom is currently in outpatient therapy and group counseling for her depression. It has been bad lately. I don't want to make her or my dad worry.
