Karen, maybe it helps to know that you're taking the words right out off my mouth. I know how this isolation feels and reading in your post that I am not alone makes me feel less isolated. Thank you. You are not alone.

Karen, I've always dreaded the arrival of September. And as we go deeper into the cold, windy, snowy days, it feels almost automatic to withdraw. But the plans and promises you've already made will go a long way toward staving off the misery. Use the treadmill, and cook that good food, and feel as good as you can in the light of your efforts and your accomplishments. So far, that'

Hope shopping was good and you're inspired to cook up some of those healthy dinners. Be sure to have a treat for fun.

I am sorry that the fall blahs are hitting you so hard Karen – I think a lot of us are right there with you. This year does seem to be pretty hard and I didn’t have any deaths in my family let alone two. I disagree about not having a real job though – you help so many people by being an advocate. We appreciate you a lot more than some employer that would have you sitting in an office!

Having a rough go of it myself, so I feel for you. I'm ready for the drama in my life to be over but it keeps dragging along.

Oh Karen, I hear you. I feel it. I'm sorry to hear about your family members. That just sucks. It sounds like you have a plan to turn your week around.

I'm so tempted to say "Karen, Nooo!", but I know exactly how you feel and I know how useless that kind of reaction is.

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle and Grandma (I remember you guys talking about her last summer), and that you're having rough time all around.

You know we're always all here for you, moping around in empathy.

You'
