[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 25618, member: 77"] Suz, I'm sitting here at the computer at 3:50 in the morning (yes, it is really that hour here in Israel), and it's lucky there's no one around because I suddenly laughed out loud at your post! I think this is a wonderful thread. That's because it shows how everyone is not static, and we all know we are going through something and moving to a different place, even though it is truly painful, but it is necessary in order to get to a different and hopefully better place. I'm sorry if that sounds trite, but to me it is the truth. And Barbara -- Scent of Cedar -- it is very interesting what you say about depression. I'm not sure if I know the difference any more between being in depression and not being in depression. Since my difficult child is still at home, he puts a constant blight on all our lives, and I think depression is just my middle name. I don't even want to start thinking about it. I only know that I just cannot get myself to do anything I WANT to do, I only do what I HAVE to do. I think that is part of my depression, not doing anything that will give me pleasure. It's a vicious circle or vicious cycle and I can't see how to get out of it, and I am sure that I am chronically depressed. I understand your question, because I can't even think what I will do if and when my life changes and difficult child just leaves us alone. More often than not, I don't think I will live to see that day. Oh dear, I'm making myself depressed. I'll sign off now. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
