Thanks, so much for sharing. It's so hard for me to accept that I can't think my way through this. I like to think I can handle anything on my own. I'm not that good at relying on other people and letting myself feel that they really care. Plus I guess I just feel terribly guilty thinking about how I'm letting people down or causing them pain.
