Many of us deal with other issues or illnesses besides our depression.

Barb, I'm so sorry you're going through a flare. It must be frustrating to think you have the illness somewhat under control, only to have the symptoms resurface. Please take good care of yourself, and take as much time away from the board as you need... although I (and I'm sure everyone else here) love having you on the board, I want you first of all to feel better.

Sending hugs and healing vibes,

Rose

Barbara,

You give so much to this board and to ivillage in general. We are truly blessed to have you here. I'm really sorry that you are suffering. I had no idea that you struggled with this painful illness. I know that Rose has dealt with it as well. Chronic pain is a nightmare. You inspire us with your caring and giving, even in the face of your own suffering. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that you give yourself the time you need to take care of yourself. I think that we all understand your need to take a break and give to yourself right now. I hope you can give yourself permission to do that.

All My Best,

I am so sorry you are going through such a rough time. I wish there was something I could do to make it better for you. I will have to settle for sending you all the love and hugs I have right now.

As for feeling you aren't responding to enough of the posts, I hope you won't let yourself feel too bad about it. We all care about you enough to want you to concentrate on getting better. Noone expects you to sacrifice your own health to support us.

I will be thinking of you and sending you well-wishes!
