Hi Giveinandcry and burnt-up,
So sorry to hear of both you're current problems, it is heartbreaking for your friend to be leaving. Is it possible to stay in touch? Though various means.
Is she moving to another area/state or Country? Not sure if an option to look for available positions whereever she's going too?
If very close and she makes a massive difference to your health, happiness and life, maybe an option to think off.
Try going out as well, as staying in can make you feel even more isolated.
It sounds like everyone at work is concerned as well.
Burnt-up,
Someone out there for everybody I really believe in, lots of members to talk to on the forum as well. When the time is right, you're know. I am sure.
If feel alone, forums are great for making friends and Learning new skills/information.
Very true life can be too challenging sometimes.
Take care both, I hope the situations resolve themselves.
Kate
