Wants2fly, just about to call it a day, when I saw your post here.
All through this particular bout of depression I have it has been different in that I have nearly always had hope. It is whats kept me going. I really believe there are ppl out there to comfort and support, its just finding 'em ! I'm pleased (more than that) I have found you all.
Even though supportive replies are done from the heart and understanding is there that ppl are at where they're at, I can imagine it could feel a bit downheartening when a person doesn't seem eased by them (or isn't in a place to reply). Its human nature to want our kindnessess acknowledged.
I have ' mans search for meaning' and remember about those who had that hope - even if it could barely be seen. The other day my family were talking about the holocaust and my mum said to me 'they didn't have counsellors then, jane' - too big a subject to go into right now, but aaaarrrggg.
Sorry to waffle there but my family aren't big believers in therapy/counselling. They do not understand how joining a forum like this can help !
Ta Ta for now.......Poppet
