No need to apologize. I think I just needed to vent. I feel kind of silly about it now (oh well).
Thanks for your kind words Kara. I'm hanging in there, and things are getting better each day. I think it actually turned out to be a good thing. I have acquired a certain amount of patience with myself that I didn't have before. And, I actually let others do things for me for a change (which has always been really hard for me). It's nice to be somewhat pampered.
Take care of yourself Kara, and I'll talk to you again soon.

It's frightening to consider that our functioning might be diminised at all (even though in your case that's highly unlikely in the long run). When you add that fear on top of already existing anxiety/depression issues, it makes everything all that much scarier.
