Laura-
I have a couple of questions, but don't answer them here if you're not comfortable doing so...mainly I just hope you think on them.
-are you being treated for the depression? Either therapy or meds? If you're not, I strongly urge you to seek counseling for it. Depression messes with us something fierce; it traps us in our own misery, and makes it nearly impossible to enter into healthy, Godly relationships, even just with friends or family. If you're not well, or at least trying to be, it's unfair to expect God to give you things you really need to be mentally and emotionally able to accept. I'm not saying God will give you what you desire if you get past these issues...but wouldn't life in general look so much better if you found your way out of the fog and pain of depression?
-are there any women's groups in your area that you could be part of? I really think you need human connection...face to face support. We're happy to have you here, and we can pray for you and offer words of comfort and advice, but it's still not the same as being able to sit with others in your community, in your situation, and talk face to face about what you're going through.
