(((((((((((( Angela )))))))))))) if ok. I know you don't know me well.

In looking in posts, I think you are one of the most supportive, insightful, caring persons I've seen. But, as a couple of people have pointed out to me, having the gift of compassion can be emotionally and even physically draining. Compassion is a dear and wonderful emotion, yet draining.

I could never perceive you as "stupid" or as a "piece of crap". I'm so sorry you feel this way. To have the insight and care that you have about yourself and others, you have to be extremely intelligent and far from a piece of crap : ) I try to tell myself the same thing, but sometimes it doesn't work. I think something might be going on inside of me that I haven't yet put my finger on that's making me feel that or, or when I can't help someone I care about figure out difficult things, I feel that way.

I'm sorry you feel alone and scared. I so know how that feels. Sometimes I feel my lonliest when I'm surrounded by people...go figure. I do know I have a huge respect for you as well as a great admiration for what you do here and what you must do for peoples in life. You, to me, are an awesomely wonderful gift. I just want you to know that you're appreciated and admired.

If there's anything I can do for you in this time, let me know please.
