Robin, you have got to be the sweetest Pettalk ever...seriously...I feel I know you through your posts, and I hope to meet you one day. It may sound funny, but even though we have never met, i think that if we did, we would be great friends. You are really a genuinely sweet sweet lady.

I am sorry to hear about your depression. I am so happy that you have come here to share it with us, though. The fact that you aren't keeping it all to yourself is a great way to help the healing process start. I know your son feels badly about what he said...I know I have said things to my parents that I wish I could take back...and I know you love your son just the same. You are a great mother and wife. Your family is very lucky to have you, and even more so, since you conquered the cancer. Praise God for that. Anyway, i will be making you a permanent addition to my prayer list. I know people who have depression problems and it is so sad to see such great people suffer the way they do...it is even more sad when they don't seek help that us outside the situation see they need so badly...so I am glad to know you have seeked help. Not sure what your faith or religion is, but in my deepest times of sadness, I find crying out, literally, to God, cry as you may...His shoulder is always there and He hears us...really, it hurts Him to see us so sad, we are His children. I am not saying this to preach to you, but you may want to try it, His loving arms are so very healing. ((((HUGS))))) to you sweet Robin. I am here whenever you need to talk...or "let it all out"...
