xxarmywifexx, what cowgirl says is so true.

Sometimes I get so involved in my friend's depression that it takes everything out of me and I can not function in 'my' world.

I have been told by many people that I have to take care of myself so I can be there to help her, and there are times when I have to force myself to do that instead of being available just in case she may need me.
