I've had my own serious personal black times and I truly know how devastatingly bad it can feel and be. -DO- get some assistance. It's readily available to you. I will tell you that apart from medical help - one thing that helped me is remembering that it will pass - even when I didn't see how it could. The dark stuff REALLY DOES pass. >From Maharishi: == "It may be that the clouds are gathered. Let them come and go. They go as they come. Take no notice of their coming. You go your way, make your way through the clouds, if they lie on the way. Do not try to dispel them, do not be held by them, they will go the way they have come. They are never found stationary. But, if you would like to pause to see them wither away, wait for a whileÂ…the wind is blowing anyway. It is to clear the clouds from your way. Just wait to see the clouds wither away, and the sun, the same old sun of love will shine again in fullness of its glory. When night comes, all appears to be dark, but darkness does not last. The light of the dawn comes on and spreads the love and charm of life. So we shall not mind if the darkness of the night sets in for a while. For the light of love can, for certain, not be gone forever." ~Maharishi - Love and God, excerpt
