Subject: RE: Too Sad to Sing?
Kendall has it right, Janie. Sometimes, you just need to grieve and get it out of your system.

If misery loves company: after two depression-free years, I recently found myself crying at odd times even in the office. The recent war brought Viet Nam back full force and the face of a young man who died there. After a week of this, I seriously considered calling my therapist long distance for help. I was able to go back to all the "exercises" I had been taught to deal with depression. I have worked myself out of it. But the major cure comes from allowing myself to be angry and sad and whatever. These are healthy emotions. Let them run their course and you will be fine. Hold them in and they will fester.

garg - I can't read your yellow text. Very frustrating. If you must whisper, please do it in black or blue.
