I hear ya Christy. When people claim to understand, or tell you to put a smile on your dial, it kinda sucks the life out of the reason why you spoke up in the first place. You want to be HEARD, but they're not even listening, and probably quite clueless too. That's why I hardly talk about my stuff except for here at PC. I agree with monkeyman over thar, feel your feelings, it's not like they're magically going to dissapear if they're not acknowledged. A lyric my brother wrote, goes like this: 'take it easy on yourself, coz no one else will' ... Words I try to remember, especially when my bp is 'acting up'. Hope you feel better soon my friend
