Oh AG, I'm sorry my post hurt you, that was not my intent. I was just trying to shine a light on the issues of anger, depressiona and the effect of these things on relationships. I do stand by my post because I believe it to be accurate, but I also acknowlege that the truth hurts sometimes.

Can you please tell me what is is you were looking for in this post and I'll respond accordingly.

Thank you for providing some specifics when it came to you and your best friend. I believe it's more difficult to lose a best friend than any other kind of relationship because true friendship is so hard to find.

Can you agree with me that your anger is turned inward toward yourself and is the very fuel that feeds the depression fire? I never meant to rub your nose in anything, but again this is precisely what I was talking about. You're taking offense to something that was not intended to be offensive. A rule that I live by in these forums that has been tremendously helpful is, "Take what you like and leave the rest". You don't have to agree with everything I have to say, but hopefully you saw some truth in my post and that my intention was never to hurt you. All I'm asking is that you take what I have to say, mull it over, turn it on its head and see if there is even a morsel of truth, if there is, take it and use it. If there isn't, leave it and move on.

I only ever want to be completely truthful and honest with you AG, even if it means saying things that are difficult to hear. It's always for your benefit, for your encouragment, to provide some further understanding to the questions you ask. Sometimes things get misinterpretated because of the nature of cyber space, we don't have the benefit of body language, voice inflection, eye contact and the gentle touch of a hand or a warm hug.

I beg your forgiveness for discouraging you further.
