If I can't give up neither can you.
We both have kids that need us. How can you say you have nothing left?
I don't know what you want from me, Sue. You ignore me in emails, then blow up because I don't respond to you after you have been ignoring me.
I have tried to offer support to you before, with no luck. Some of this is better said in an email. It is hard for me to offer you support on issues such as the black hole. I'm not in that place, and I haven't really ever been there. I get depressed, but I think mine was more post partum and just feeling overwhelmed. I rarely feel like I just want to die. I can't relate to that much unless I'm feeling that way myself at the time. I know you probably won't understand this, and now (from what you've emailed) you already have this preconceived idea of "who I am"... that's totally untrue. I get overwhelmed dealing with my kids. I get frustrated because saying "take time for yourself" is so much easier to say than it is to DO. "Get exercise" is a lot easier to say than it is to find time/want to do. So please don't say NO one supported you - Gabbi responded. I was just taking your lead from the way the email group has gone lately.
