Hi Rayilyn, I appreciate people who spontaneously express themselves. Life contains the good and the bad, and please let's not censure ourselves or others when the bad seems overwhelming. I didn't assume that you were throwing in the towel when you said that for you life isn't worth much. It's just that I don't know you. Now that I do a little, I'll welcome hearing about whatever you're feeling, down or up. So please keep telling it like it is!
