Strix, I'm doing CBT right now, but it hasn't really been long enough for me to be much help to you. Still, if you need anything my profile address is available. No judging. I'm glad you have people around you who care and support you.
I'm eleven hundred and twenty years old! Just gimme a friggin' beer!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hugs, strix. Nothing to add to what everyone else said, but love and support.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Much love, Strix.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Thank you isn't enough.
I love you all.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Don't focus on how you ended up here at the moment. Focus on the fact that you're willing to get help. Change doesn't happen overnight, and sometimes we fail. What matters is that we pick ourselves back up and try again.

I will try very hard. I just want to have some verve again, and I am willing to do the work.
The hardest part (so far) was facing my DH and friends tonight.

Strix, love and support.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Strix, so much love and support and healing. And seconding Maria's advice about who to check in with for personal experiences and perspectives. And just so many vibes. It must have been so incredibly painful for you -- but, also, I'm in awe of the bond you and your friends share. From everything you've said over the years about your girlfriends, it's always been clear just how ferociously loyal and loving and protective all of you are toward each other, and how deeply you're all aware of just how rare and vital that bond is. I'm not surprised they stepped up to do this along with your DH. Deep, strong, steady vibes to all of you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Strix, hon, all the love and support to you; you have my digits in case you need, I think?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Strix, love and support vibes to you. Depression is a dragon we have to slay every day. At some point in the future it may stay dead, but there is no guarantee of that for any of us. And now I've got Angel's voice earworming me - "Oh come on, I'm holding your head!"
