Dear RamblinClementine,

I am so sorry you are in this situation. It sounds utterly distressing and stressful. When a friend of mine moved away a couple of years ago, I just fell apart: constant anxiety, relentless depression and awful panic attacks. I can't remember feeling worse in my whole life. Although I am not in your shoes, I think I can feel some of what you describe. Wish I knew what to say to ease the pain your are going through. My heart goes out to you!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
