Re: Daughter
Thank you both. I know what you're saying is right, I've not seen her like this before. She normally showers every day but hasn't for nearly a week, that's just not her. The friend was a lad not a girl, she said it's purely platonic as she doesn't want to get involved with anyone. Hardly surprising but she didn't want him over anyway.
I've tried to get her to come with me on my walks around town but no luck. I think this time of year doesn't help, Jan and Feb are grim months at the best of times, probably clutching at straws there though. She told me last night that she had lost everything. Meaning her boyfriend and job. That's depression talking isn't it, as if her life were pointless without those.
Thanks Buster, that makes things clearer in my mind. I've heard from various sources now that professional help is thin on the ground. I shouldn't really be surprised, when I tried to do something silly way back in 1989, I was enrolled in a relaxation class. No counselling, no meds.
