I feel for you Barb. I think it happens to everyone once in awhile. I don't know how to help you other than to just say that I understand.
I have felt so incredibly down and wanted to talk to someone but I feel so stupid for not just getting over it. Work is a worry (I work for a mortgage insurance company and we all know how THEY are doing) so my job is less secure than I am comfortable with. I live alone and I am so incredibly lonely sometimes. I cry at night laying in bed sometimes and I mean outright sobbing.
My mother is gone, my father passed away a year ago. My children are fairly close (not in distance) but I long for that special love and companion in my life. Even that makes me feel weak because I'm a strong, independant woman... right?
