Despite your prolific ( )postings here, I was quite certain you have trouble opening up. I'm pretty sure you project something completely different to the people in your life.

That's why I was so worried. Don't be afraid to ask for help from people, Emily. That's why families and society exist. Give your family and friends the opportunity to feel closer to you by catching you when you fall. We all fall. Tuck your pride away.
Like the crisis hotline... who cares if they talk about the people who call. They probably have to that to get rid of all the negative energy. Imagine receiving hundereds of calls from people in distress. You need to let that out somehow. If you don't want to do it with someone near you, who you might meet, call a national hotline.

Your mum caught on to the depression because she knows you and cares for you. Everything she does, even though it seems like it's against you, is to try to help you.
She must be hurting right now too.

May it be eternal while it lasts. My sitch Me: 36 H:34 M: 5 years Bomb: 03/14/06
