Sorry to hear about the nasty infection you have been fighting. It definitely helps to have someone around that can help you with whatever is needed in times like these, when you can barely "function" and need serious willpower to motivate you into doing the simplest things.
Depression can be ugly, and hard to overcome by yourself. What's worse is that people around may not realize you are struggling with something serious.
The world moves rather fast and I think that sometimes you just have to stand up or come out of your own mess, and sometimes we're not able to because we try to depend on others who might not even realize how deep the issues we're going through..
Thanks for the kind words.
