Barb-cat,
I have to update you, even though I risk being deported to the "social" board. Well, my depressed brain saw the phrase "can we talk" yesterday, and I assumed there was trouble in paradise with the fella. Turns out he just wanted to talk about doing something this weekend.
But last night I was driving around, feeling restless and trying to decide whether I should level with him or not about my rough patch. I went to his place, and just told him that I've been depressed, and I may be going through a rough time in the next few weeks or so. He was so understanding. We got into a huge discussion about what "normal" is. He actually shared with me that he spent time in a mental hospital when he had a drug problem several years ago. (they lumped them all together) And he learned a lot from everyone there. He offered up his support anytime I need it, and meant it. Wow. Just goes to show how things inside your head are sometimes much worse than what other people percieve. I feel so relieved.
I still feel crumby in terms of being depressed, but at least that burdon has been lifted. Thanks again for all of the advice, wise sage Barb-cat. I hope you are well.
Katy
