Dear Harry,
sorry you are so down. I was having suicidal thoughts (mild) last week. It's a bitch, to say the least. I have been reading about your return to work. You are very brave. I left work a year ago, don't know when I will have the strength/guts to try again. I'm pulling for you. I hope you have some 'safe' knock-out meds. Things will get better. I know people here think a great deal of you and your trials.
Connecting to P-B has been very hard past 3-4 days. Don't know what's up with that. My comp. is on the fritz, too, only turns on when it feels like it. Feel free to e-m me if you like, I will try to boot up and check my mail time-to-time.
Take care! I feel for you tonight.
Zannah
