Love to Gud.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Gud, I know you didn't ask for advice, so feel free to skip.
But IMO, counseling might not be a bad thing for you right now. You're in (as you've described here) a difficult situation. A good therapist can help you find ways to cope.
That's not to say I think you have a depression problem. Just that therapy can be useful even when depression isn't the problem.

Well, making another appointment for a another doctor to treat a depression problem that I don't think I have. I hate, hate, hate this.
You're stressed, you're not depressed.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And David says it more concisely than I could.

He is good at that, even if he wants to hold me to my taglines. Gud, your family will be in my thoughts today.

Oh, Gud. You poor bear. Hang in there.

{{{Gud}}} I'm so sorry. But, maybe it can be helpful...a place to be able to talk about how tough things are at home. I agree with David, though; you're stressed, not depressed. I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.
ION, I just got trained for my short-term weekend job. It's gonna be a lot, but I could really use the money, so it's a bit of a gift.

I am back from my doctor's appointment and I am eating junk food to reward myself.

I just ate solid food that's not Jello.
I want more.
Tummy better.
Gud, feh. But I guess the silver lining is that he may be able to help you with the situational stresses.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Plei, I'm back on BoP again. I think I jumped on at the wrong point (the tail end of Sensei and Student, which is a kickass arc, but confusing if you jump on in the last issue of the arc; and then the cult storyline, while important for setting up the weird-ass Brainiac shit, just did not win me over).
However, the last few issues? Holy crap!, is what I have to say.
