> MaximeSweetheart, you know that her birthday would be much better knowing that her beloved daughter was taking care of herself by checking back into the hospital, rather than finding that same beloved daughter had succumbed to her despair and taken that OD. It's so hard to be where you are, but you've been there before and know that you do manage to survive -- the fact that you have found yourself a job since the last time you got this bad shows that things don't always stay as bad as they are now.
On another note, have you ever tried bright light therapy? I sit under my "grow light" in the winter, and I think it does help. At least, I don't get to the same depths of misery as I know I used to in the winter. (Of course, that's not to say that the winter has no effect on me -- only that it's not nearly as bad as it was before the lamp.)
I'm so sorry, sweetheart, that you're feeling this bad again. Hang on, we'll hang on together, shall we?
xoxo
