It's been a rough year with one family crises after another, surgery for me, and becoming a caregiver for the only other person in my birth family remaining, plus a deadline on a major writing project. I have trouble getting up in the morning, am tired all day, and something always happens to tie me in knots. have a therapist, doctor, exercise program, CPAP, support from husband, one child and friends. Still, my self esteem is missing, don't want to drive, forget and lose things, and still severely depressed.
