Your "voice" holds hope and self-esteem. People like to help people like that. I happen to know a couple of people out your way, so I'll mention you to them. An extra bonus today only: having just had a very positive hospital stay myself, I have some extra good thoughts and prayers lying around, so I'm forwarding those along with my own.

I've been to the depression pit, too, and I learned that clinical depression (as opposed to down-in-the-dumps) is not something you drag yourself out of. It needs proper diagnosis and treatment, most experts say. I hope that you will soon be finding clues to the path that leads to a new and positive life; it will be a tough one, but in some ways can be better than the one whose script was just destroyed.

Keep us posted, ok?
