Shrek- It's funny- but I agree with you about acceptance and probably would have given someone else the same advice last week. I guess I just thought I accepted it.
Jeff- I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Having this happen during the holidays makes it especially hard on her family and friends. Sounds like she was a good friend if she's the type to give you the advice you are giving yourself.
Lynlee- I've decided that I'm going to see a counselor too. It sounds like counseling has been a real benefit for you. I'm certainly not opposed to counseling and think that if I ever needed it, I need it now. Thankfully- my health insurance covers it.
I know it's just a set back- and being extra tired made things seem MUCH worse than they really are. Pollyanna doesn't stay down for long.
