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.

same here

I have had a lot of emotions running thru this thread. First off, unspeakable anger at your son for being so horrid to you... b/c you are one of the NICEST and SWEETEST people I know.
He is the one with the problem of being 'loser' not you. I know that sounds harsh to someone I don't even know but it angers me to no end to hear someone being treated like that by their own child. Doesn't he and his fiance'/girlfriend live with you? I wonder if that has anything to do with your depression? What I mean is a negative attitude from HIM could be effecting you and making your issue worse. This sounds like I have no respect for the sanctity of a mother/son relationship but honestly I do. But my concern is you - not him, Robin. I was going thru a rough time there for awhile at work getting so angry I couldn't control it. I had to purge these feeling from my mind and soul. I know that this isn't going to help you any at all making it much simpler then it really is. I had to visualize rolling my thoughts and deep routed anger into a ball and just tossing it away. After awhile it worked eventually. Maybe your son is the ball that needs tossed? At least for a while......
I have another dear friend whose son has treated her worse then chewing gum under his shoe and I myself would love to meet him in a dark alley....
Secondly, I am so sad for you my heart hurts and I am in tears.
I know I have went thru bouts of depression myself, when Shaianne died (I gained a lot of weight) my grandma and now when my grandpa died. During the day before work I am having a helluva time staying out of bed. This week has just been shot b/c I get up go to a hair or tanning appt and then crawl right back into bed.
I wish we lived closer and I could hug you right now. I am also very sorry I didn't get a chance to chat with you much over Memorial Sunday.
I will keep you wrapped in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope I haven't upset you too much with my opinion.....
