Oh dear, Ray, I hope the dejected feeling passes soon and your load lightens for you.
Cheer up!

Ray, you're right! It will pass. And the sooner, the better. Just remember, you've got a hell of a lot of people thinking about you and cheering you on. Stiff upper lip, mate.

Thanks Anne and HalT

Ray, hope you feel better soon. We all miss you not being here more.

Hang in there, Ray. We miss you and hope you're able to spend more time with us soon.

Ray, your picture shows a solitary soul. You are not alone when it comes to depression. We've all been there. Try to stay positive about things and they will get better. Cheers!

If I blur my vision just a bit, it looks just like you ... well, except the feet aren't right.

Thanks for the sympathy and cheer everyone.

CG - Thanks for the insight. I am not sure it is good to communicate a lot when one is depressed. It could knock on.

LOL Keith. You have never seen my feet. Actually these feet resemble mine very closely - except for the absence of my bunions - put the lack of the bunions down to artistic license within the self-portrait !

Hi Rayray,
Depression........... not something easily put aside as many people seem to think....
