Clayton, that is HORRIBLE news. Work aside, you're family left you????
I can't even imagine what I could say that would make you feel better. That's terrible news. Please, no need to apologize for your mood. I guess *I* need to for my language in my other post. I was pretty angry then.I wish there was a way I could help you. I'd like to hear more details about your recent experiences. I can give you my private email if you don't want to post it here. Writing about things might make you feel a "bit" better anyway - It does for me.
I called the doctor yesterday because I was losing it. Supreme agitation, anger, etc. He put me on effexor and I'm not happy about it (cause of the horror stories I've read, especially if you miss a dose or two), and I got another drug like valium (forgot the exact name) to calm me down on an as-needed basis. I've actually been looking for something like that for a while. I still have to get the script so I don't know how well it will work for me yet.
This news can't compete with you, but I have a feeling I may get fired tomorrow. Laid off, or whatever term they want to slap on it. I was supposed to apologise for a comment I made to the group, but I refused. I said I'd do it just as soon as a few people apologized to me, and that my friends, will NEVER happen, not from these egos. So, it's a 50/50 shot tomorrow that I'll be gone. If true, I'll spiral into a severe, severe depression. I've done this loss of job thing 2-3 times already.
Anyway, that doesn't compare to your story. I wish I could say something that would help.
I'm very sorry to hear about your family and job.

Please find me and rip MY head off. Until then, I am forced to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Sorry, not feeling very positive tonight.
