I know that the "encouraging words" can get old and tired too... And it's always a lot easier to hand them out, than it is to hear them, have confidence in them, and to try to believe them...
But like you said, you know the drill, and you know that this is a low point in the cycle, and that it WILL get better again... You gotta remember that part of it. Of course, it seems as if it's never as soon as we would like...
I'm sorry I don't have any "real" advice to offer, but you know this part too... There are a lot of people here that are keeping you in their thoughts - keep us in the loop.
From a selfish perspective, we need your input & contributions around here... I know that I don't have much to say, or any great wisdom to impart, but as frustrating as this stuff gets, I know that you can make it to the next part of the cycle. michael
*****vaguely related after-thought*****
Btw, my friend's dad is from abroad, and american english wasn't his first "dialect" - He apparently has a few brittish (i think) phrases that he uses occassionally. It seems that the brittish (I think) refer to the chin as the 'pecker'.When my friend is feeling kind of down, and his dad tells him to "keep his chin up" - it sounds kind of amusing... So Harry, "Keep your pecker up!"
(hope everybody can see the humor, and hope no one's offended) Now that I think of it, I hope you're american Harry, otherwise that last bit kind of loses the intended effect...
