• I would very honestly just tell you that what I tried to do was simply respond to inquiries from people as they came in.

• Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future.

Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.
