Hey, Gail,
I just now read your apology to me--none needed! I think everyone on this board has had their fair share of coping problems, how could you not? I try not to do so much "thinking" now, just get through today, or "now", this hour, etc. I have been given that advice & I think it is good. I do fail at it sometimes, though. Glad you are sharing your questions and concerns.
Best thoughts for you,
Anne
