I think seeing a therapist is making things waaayyyy worse than it was before. My mom is upset because I wont "open up to her" umm...thats whats the therapist is for. At several points today I actually wanted to give up on myself. Im tired and my head hurts. Sleeping is my only comfort...that and crying. I know there are so many people

Oh sweetie. I know it hurts. A therapist is a really wonderful start. I wish I could help, I wish there was something I could do to make it all go away. Yes, we are ALL rooting for you, we love you. Can I call you later today?

I don't know exactly how you're feeling, but I do know what it feels like to have depression. It DOES hurt physically, emotionally and mentally -- and that's just for someone without cancer. It amazes me how strong you are. I honestly can't say I could handle it all like you have for as long as you have.

My only suggestion is to give the therapist a chance. It's hard to open up to a stranger, but that person really is there to help you. Do find someone else, though, if you don't get comfortable after a while. I see a therapist regularly, and it really helps to have someone who's outside of every situation you're involved in. Sometimes the outsider truly does have the best perspective.

I love you.

Hi Shirley! I am so sorry I haven't called you back, I feel like a horrible friend. I was in one of my most depressed weeks I've had all year and didn't feel like communicating much with people. I will give you a call soon so we can catch up. I hope you feel better, and I want you to know that I love you and am thinking of you. We can both get through this.
