cubby, are you asian yourself? or do you just work overseas? I am confused. My cousin is american and lives in Cairo, Eygpt and is a teacher in an International school. She's been there for three years now and she's not signing a new contract so she's coming back to the states and will find ANOTHER overseas teaching position (or administrative position). My point is, I don't know your living situation at all (I don't even know if you are married) but maybe you should think about another teaching situation in another country or back here, if possible. There is nothing more important than your health and happiness. I'm sorry you are having such a bad time and that there is so little help available. Like Lynda, I didn't mean to offend you--I just know how vulnerable a person can be when they are depressed and I'd hate to see anyone make you feel like it's YOUR fault, when it isn't. OR that you should be "strong" enough to fight your way out of it.
I don't know if I have much more to offer at this point exept to listen and respond occasionally to let you know I'm listening...and that we ALL care.
Hang in there...Mary
