Hi Guys, and thanks ... but --
I'm in pretty serious straits here ... with thoughts of hanging myself, and I'm not kidding. Things are pretty desperate. I've gotta bow out of some commitments I've made, and stating "I'm having some personal health issues" just isn't going to cut it. I guess I should call my M.D. I think I can hang in there (no pun intended), and I'm not -- seriously in peril -- although I wish those nasty images would go away. I've just gotta move into some extreme self care here -- cutting back to only those things that are most essential and citing "mental health crisis" as an excuse doesn't feel very good, nor do I wish to go public with the fact that I've got depression. It's none of their frigging business. :-( Any other suggestions? Sorry Kazoo. The chuckles were certainly appreciated, but I'm certainly open to any other ideas. What else you got up you sleeve? XXX, E.
