Thanks, Lacerta. That's a really nice thought. I am on that depression go-slow. You know how everything just slows down almost to a stop. Head feels like it's full of sand and everything is an effort. even being awake.

Don't feel guilty about not going to work. If you went, you'd be too tired to be productive and you would give other people your cold. They wouldn't like that. Better to stay home and not infect everyone.

How come you can't see your therapist any more? Can't you continue?

Sounds like you did the right thing with your friend. Perhaps after you have had a bit of a rest you can talk to her about it. When you have more energy. Some of my friends drain me too and I have to keep away from them for a while. The best friends are the ones that understand when people need to be alone and don't take it personally.

Hope you feel well soon.
