Robin,

You are to be commended for opening up to everyone like that. I know it must not be easy to put your personal feelings out there for all to see. I look at you as such a brave, kind-hearted, compassionate person. Your son is wrong. There is nothing about you that is loser-ish.
Well put Aly, I agree with all of that.

Although I have never been diagnosed with depression, there were a few times when I have felt the way you describe. It is a long slow process getting out of that feeling. Talking about it here, following through with whatever the doctor may suggest, and keeping active outside of the home will all help. It is not going to be easy, it is not going to be fast. But we all know that you can get through it. And there are so many people here that are willing to help. (Isn't it kind of nice to know that even if you don't feel like calling someone there are caring people who are no more than a keystroke away?) Keep on trying Robin. I will also keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
