Sorry you're feeling so down, Rose. I appreciated your recent posts in the Psychotherapy foum and so looked for some other posts. I'm​ feeling extremely down, too. Given up on therapy and meds don't help me much. Caring for some elderly cats but nothing like what you are doing for your friend. I did care for my terminally ill husband but it sounds like it wasn't nearly as long as your friend has needed care.

I called the crisis line a couple of times the last week. One person said it well -- sometimes it's just life. It can wear you down. And of course the isolation can make things really bad, too. Thank goodness for the internet.
