Been there, done that. You have a lot of stress. This is the toll. I feel for you and will hold you in my prayers.

And yet we go on because we are stronger than we ever wanted to be. "This too shall pass" has always worked for me, and that it does!

Oh dear, I know that feeling! And I'll NEVER take Paxil again. It was super bad. I'm trying to make this winter without antidepressants. I did last year but this isn't starting out too well.

I'm stopping back by this one, because I don't remember reading it. Apparently I did though. It's still poignant.
