Your problems matter HERE! Don't forget that, ok? It's not selfish to need time to heal yourself. When no one seems to want to help you, You Have To think about yourself! You are just as important as anyone else. Depression is NO JOKE! And it's very real to those of us who suffer from it. I know how you feel. Right now, I have either the flu or some other upper respiratory virus, I'm sick as hell, but I STILL get to babysit my grand babies, take care of two of my other kids, try to cook, clean & whatever, because everyone else has other things to do besides "give Me a break" & help out so I can rest! So now I'm fighting illness and depression....on my own, & it SUCKS! Don't let anyone make you feel guilty! Your problems are just as important!
