Dear Jen

i hope you are able to get a little more sleep tonight, and that you feel somewhat better tomorrow.

i don't think all this is nothing... and i would agree if it is, i'd rather get it from a doctor, but i don't want to bug you about that more.

it's ok to tell us about it even if you think it's nothing, and regardless of what you do about it.

i hope you don't mind my expressing my concerns however. i realize it is scary to think that something could be wrong - maybe easier to think it is nothing.

i should also point out that depression often makes us see ourselves as undeserving, unworthy... and then we don't want to 'burden' others with our troubles. sometimes it helps to try and throw a wrench into our perspective... say:

what if you had a child in your care, who had all the symptoms you do... how would you feel about it then?

i am sending you a smile and kind thoughts
