OK, so at least a few of you are feeling similarly to me

I can't think of anything else useful to say so I just want to send transatlantic *HUGS*

Thank you. :-)

Wow, I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could say to help

I am not currently in counseling. I can't actually figure out when and where I would fit it in, although I am a believer in that, too. Unfortunately, I have been in and out of counseling over the years, and I can't say I've ever felt as though it's done that much for me. With my last therapist I would just write everything that I was feeling, and heck, I do that whether I'm in therapy or not. ;-) Writing is the most therapeutic thing that I do! It almost just seemed like a waste of money to do what I do anyways, KWIM

Wow. I'm sorry. It sounds like therapy *and* writing could be helpful. If doing it for your own sake isn't enough (and it should be!), doing it so that everyone else can continue to rely on you could be motivating.

Wishing you all the best.

I think I'd probably be more motivated to do it if I actually thought it would help me. We do get free counseling through the grad program I'm in, and I've been contemplating just seeing if they're any good.

But really, while I can't say that I'm not depressed and a bit overwhelmed, I'm still functional at this point. I think my biggest issue is that I can't figure out where to go from here. I feel that the things that I really wanted out of life... just aren't possible. It's like I have to find new things to live for.

Just wanted to say *hugs*.
