AKC --

I'm not great with advice, you know. The last time I wrote, you expressed concerns about your weight and I said, "Hey, go nuts, try doughnuts." :0)

When I was depressed and under stress my mind would tend to do the same thing a lot: ruminate, ruminate, ruminate. I'm not trying to minimize your difficulties. You truly seem to be going through a difficult time, but I think you need to find yourself a diversion.

Psychology-related diversions: www.mentalhelp.net/psyhelp (an e-book, gave me a few ideas, anyway); also: www.queendom.com (has online tests with good feedback -- somewhat helpful). Non-psychology stuff (and this is what I'd gravitate towards if I were in your shoes): www.salon.com or www.aldaily.com.

Also: is there anything you've been wanting to go out and do? A new neighborhood to check out? Go out for coffee? Get off the computer? It may seem to you that you need to "understand your problems": research them on the computer, write about them -- but often the best thing to do to help yourself is getting away from them by going out and doing something you've been wanting to do.

hope you are feeling better soon (keep writing if you need to, we're here ...)
