Jen - you ARE a friend and a sweetheart for starting this thread for Kim. I hope that this thread will stay active so that Kim can read it when she wants to - and that the replies will be loving. Someone in a depressed state - a very deep state - can have trouble taking what we consider "advice" or the hard truth - so try not to advise OK?? Wellmeaning advice is just too hard to bear when a person is at a real low. But, I do know that sharing the truth - even if it means "I don't know what to say" - will be rememered and appreciated after the person is feeling well again. A deeply depressed person might even attack in their pain - like an animal that is frightened. Yes it is not "realistic" but it is at the that moment - to the person doing it.
edit: I deleted the "novella" part of my letter to Kim....it was very long anyway
