Eagle,
I KNOW about depression: It is nasty stuff. I experienced what it can do to a person and I've witnessed what it can to others. An extremely wise lady told me recently, "Do NOT ask why." And being the weak human being that I am, I ask God why all the time. But tragedy strikes everyone; and we all struggle with the same issues. Look around and size up what others are battling right now. For example, soldiers and their families: Men and women are being shot trying to defend America's freedom. Nursing homes are filled with people in wheelchairs, rolling themselves round: some don't have legs; some don't have an arm. Others push buttons
to operate motors, their bodies are nearly, totally paralyzed. Think of abandoned babies or battered wives. Think of anything but don't concentrate on your own pain. Read the Bible. Talk to God. Think what Christ went through when He walked the earth. No one was more abused. No one suffered more. Everyone turned against Him. And He was their Maker. If I was near to you, we'd go out for lunch and a movie. Reach for flesh 'n blood friendship, too. This site is awesome but you also need real people that hug and hold you. "No man is an island!" I don't know the person that quoted that, but I know it's true. Sorry if this sounded like a sermon. Believe me, I'm in no position to preach. I'm just sharing what I've learned and am still learning! Love and prayers and blessings,
