I'm so glad you finally went to this site Terri. Therese always has really great things to say as well as the other people that comment. Really, it's a lifeline for some of us. And it's important to surround yourself with a lot of those (lifelines, people, support) when you're going through a rough time.

Just know that you're not alone. And you're not selfish. If you haven't sought any medical advice or counseling, maybe it would help to talk to someone objective--someone who will just listen and help you through this difficult time.

Keep on hanging on. Valerie
