Gosh Mary, I can't visualizing myself doing that. There seems to be an expectation that the main purpose of our getting together is for her to talk out what is going on with Chris. Perhaps if I keep changing the subject I will feel better. I really feel like she is using me as a therapist...I didn't think this would happen...but over time, I can't take it. I try to turn the tables and I can't imagine anyone wanting to hear all the details of my relationship with my boyfriend...and I wouldn't expect them to. I hope today goes better than I expect. Thanks for your help! Heather

Hi Mary, How are you? I am having a good day so far. Got my lawn mowed without too much anxiety. Meeting a friend as always on Tuesdays and am dreading hearing her talk about her husband (they are separated). I am bored stiff the more time goes on...don't know what to do. Any ideas? Hope you are enjoying your day. Love, Heather puppy photo: Awww puppy_zps12f9d928.jpg

Hi Mary. Hope you're day is going well. I'm not doing so hot myself, this is day 3. I didn't go to work today and I'm berating myself for it, but I just don't feel like I can function enough to be there. I go see my therapist tonight so maybe that will give me some strength to get through this episode of depression. Love you and hugs as always.
