After fighting to control depression for a long time, though, maybe it's a good time to learn to lean on others a little bit. Maybe now is not the time to say, "I can go it all alone." That's the nice thing about personal value systems. They're personal. You don't have to accept anyone else's.

I really appreciated your kind words. I have worked all my life as a nurse as well as taking care of a handicapped child. So the issue was never about being responsible--or maybe I was responsible in all ways but money. Anyway, the depression caught up with me and wrecked havoc in all areas. It really helps to hear kind words from people. I have enough negative words in my head to last a lifetime!!!!
