Subject: RE: BS: Black room is getting me
I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time. I've been feeling down, myself, lately. Though it may not be the same in degree as what you are experiencing, I know that it is hard to get out of. At a time when one should probably seek out contact w/ others, I don't feel like going out, don't feel like picking up the phone. It makes me feel less productive in every aspect of my life. And it doesn't seem to help to tell myself how much I have to be thankful for (& I know I *do* have a lot!). The feeling remains. I believe it will pass, for me, &, I hope, for you. Until then, do what you can & be kind to yourself. Seek out some simple pleasures--foods you enjoy, a game, show, book, etc. that entertains you, comfy clothes & bedcovers, beautiful scenery. Eventually, something will remind you how "good" feels. You are doing a very helpful thing reaching out here. All over the world, we hear you & we care. Keep it up!

best from NY,

Barbara
