Sallie:
I understand completely and you're very welcome ! ((Hugs))
That's alot of the reason why I've put off going to the doc about depression and some other symptoms I've been dealing with most of my life. I have a strong family history with mental illness(brother, sister, mother, grandfather, maternal aunt, maternal uncle, cousin) and to the others in my family, I always think they're courageous and it's the bravest thing ever to admit finally that there is a problem. To me, I do not have the same compassion for myself. I feel weak for not being able to take it now. But see, that's something I need to work on within myself and I think it would be good for you to see a therapist. I have the same feelings about it though. LOL. Silly, aren't I? It's hard to express myself face to face. Usually I'm pretty eloquent when I speak but when it comes to what I FEEL, I feel like duh....I have finally made a doc appointment and will get a referral and I'm scared to death, but also proud of myself for taking the step that I need to finally deal with ME, instead of everyone else.
I hope you consider it!
Take Care,
Kimberly
