> I'm sorry I can't help you with the how to stop feeling crappy part. I'd be a hypocrite. I'm tired of feeling bad too. It just seems that emotions scare people, and I've found very few
who can accept the intensity of depression.<<That's a great way to put it -- the intensity of depression. I never thought of that.
I'm sorry you are still feeling bad, I would never wish this type of pain on anyone. I wish I could figure out a way to explain it to people who have never experienced it.
There were times, even though apparently I've been fighting depression my whole adult life, that someone would tell me they were depressed and I just didn't get it. I figured it was just the blues, which everyone has. (I "never" turned my back on anyone like this guy did, I just didn't understand the depth of pain).
>... because if he can brush you off
because of his stereo even once I think thats a pretty big hint about his nature, apology or not.<<Yeah, "my" problem is I see people in a positive light, thinking the best of them from the very beginning. And then, even when someone shows their faults, I tell myself, well daggit, I've got faults too and I hope there is someone who accepts them. And then they do something horrible, like this, and it just breaks my heart.
>Its like saying,
"Sorry I didn't try and save you when you were drowning last time, I promise, it won't happen again"<<That's so true! You have a cool way of expressing yourself.....
Thanks!
