Yelling at myself-When the truth lies in front of your eyes

For the past few weeks, I was concerned about a friend of mine. She had closed herself off, always saying that she wasn't feeling well or she was tired, and I was worried. I talked to the school counselor about it, sent an email to one of my friends who was previously depressed, and I was still concerned.

Then I found out, about 20 minutes before I wrote this, that another one of my friends had had the same problem for a long time, and it had grown larger than I had ever imagined. I was so lost that I didn't see it. And I'm pretty mad at myself. I mean, I'm a WRITER. I write about stuff like this-people being preoccupied with somethign else so they don't see a huge problem-all the time. And I was completely shocked. I never saw this coming.

I'm thankful that I know now. SB, thank you for telling, and EC, thank you for staying.
