So glad you guys are here
I need some virtual hugs, please please please. I'm sitting at my desk crying right now. Some stuff at work is going on and I'm overly sensitive because of the situation with my family.
Which I haven't talked about on the boards but my dad has completely abandoned me. Won't talk to me, etc. Yes, this is all from that Steelers game on October 3rd and it's the dumbest thing. But there isn't anything I can do there- the last thing I did was apologize and he hasn't talked to me since.
But as a result I have pretty much lost my family. My parents almost divorced when I was in high school, went to Retrouvaille and it saved their marriage. But my mom also decided that she needed to side with my dad and make him her #1 priority over everything else (including church, us kids, etc) so even if she disagrees with him she supports him. Which is just killing me.
I've been crying randomly anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm depressed... and they were supposed to be coming here for Thanksgiving so I'm having an increasingly hard time right now since we're getting close to that. Thank goodness for the ILs. But... I dunno.
Anyway, virtual hugs? I know this was rambling and probably pretty incoherent. Just trying to stop crying.
Re: So glad you guys are here
Thanks, girls. I'm just such a mess right now and it's hard to try to be positive.
On a good note, my boss just stopped by and laughed about the stupid emails my coworker sent (or carbon copied) to him, trying to rat me out for being "mean". Since when can a 60 year old (coworker, not boss) be such a child? LOL.

aww Jen I am so sorry you have to deal with this. I cant even begin to understand how you feel, but just know that I am here for you. All of us are. I hope things get better soon. You should really talk to a doctor about your depression. Things can get pretty bad if you let it go too long and it gets worse. As a sufferer of depression myself, you have your good days and bad days, and the bad days are really really bad and it only takes one small thing to set it off.
HUGS!!!!!
