 I know that some of you have it far more worse than I do,, and I apoligize for my bad attitude. I just can't seem to continue to pretend nothing is wrong with me. I am sad and I just feel terrible. Believe it or not I am on deppression meds and have been for months. Gosh, I can't imagine how I would feel without them. I keep waiting for the day when things get better and they just don't seem to. I just want to check out for the world. I would love crawl into my house and never leave.
 
 so sad
