Sad and in a Daze

 
Hi everyone!  I haven't much felt like being online the past couple of days.  I've been in a real funk and kinda depressed.  I've been crying a lot too since Friday night.  One of the clients I really liked committed suicide.  I just saw her on Wednesday and she didn't seem to be any different than she always has.  She has had bouts of depression in the past.  I feel like there should have been something I could have done to have prevented it and I feel a lot guilty right now.  Maybe I'm not cut out for this kind of work.
 
I want to acknowledge my friend Jimmy for picking me as one of his editor's picks this week.  I have had two in two weeks and I feel special here in J-land. 
 
Kasey Kahne won the Nascar race today and that made me a little bit happy.  Usually I'd be ecstatic about that but I am just not feeling it at the moment.  I really wish I could reset the hands of time and go back to Wednesday and change the outcome of the events for the rest of the week.  I'm sorry if I'm a downer today so I will just leave this entry at that. 
 
Hope you will all have a good week.  Luv ya!

((((((((((((((((((( Allison)))))))))))))))))))) Sweetie, I am very sorry to hear about this person. I can understand how this could bring you down some in a funk. However, I'm sure your not the only one thinking there is something that maybe you missed or could have done. But the fact is, that just isn't so in every case and you know that.  You do the best you can as a person to reach out, however you can't save everyone.  Stay strong sweetie, your totally awesome and your in my thoughts.
Luv
Ang

I'm sorry Allison.   But I will bet  you all you have that there was nothing, short of confining the person, that could have changed the outcome.   You ARE cut out for what you do, and I hope this does not deter you from helping the many many many many others who's lives you have and will touch.      Love you....     J

Oh Allison, I am so sorry to hear about your client.  I know it isn't easy, but to feel guilty for not doing more, you know better.  Go ahead and be sad, feel sorry that there wasn't more you could do, but this may have been a sudden decision, nothing you could have anticipated.  Just from what you're like online, shows that you're very suited for your line of work.  You're just going through something tough right now.   {{{Allison}}}

I am sure it is hard.  There is nothing anyone can say to make it any better.  I do know that most of the time, when someone is intent on ending their life, they actually seem better...because they have made a decision.  And are ready.  It is just the illness.  Sometimes it just cannot be prevented, no matter what you "see" or do.  Sad, really, and believe me when I say, when in the midst of depression, logic is non existant, and all that prevails is darkness.  And sometimes we just don't think we will ever see the light, again.  
I am so sorry for what has happened, but it really does not reflect on you in the least as far as ability and effectiveness goes...
Hope you feel better...
Love,
Jae

Allison I'm sorry to hear about you losing someone who touched your life. You're a caring person and even if you could turn back time the outcome would most likely have been the same. Being depressed and crying shows you care about the well being of others.
Hugs
