Re: otp - is there such a thing as . . .

honey, i'd be amazed if you weren't feeling this way right now. you
just lost your mother and father, and now alex is leaving. you are
sooooo normal. your symptoms are those of depression, but there's
normal reactive depression and then there's the kind you don't pull
out of. i think it's too soon for you to have such high expectations
of yourself.

should you see a therapist? it might help to have someone to talk your
feelings through with. i don't know that you need antidepressants
right now--if you still feel this down in another couple of weeks,
then i'd say yes, to get you through this time.

i love nann's idea of getting away, especially with a good friend.

grief just plain sucks, and i know you've had more than your share of
it. if we could only discover life's fast forward button, we could
make a mint.

hugs,

diane
