OK...but how'd she do on the work-front?  Lose her job?  Take advantage of all those lay-offs to move ahead faster?  (for every downside, there's an upside!) Take a lay-off as an opportunity to explore alternatives or change her life so she wouldn't put herself at risk and "suffer terribly" once again?  Or, is she back where she was, wedded and welded to a job/boss/sector/system that could strike her down (sending her back to "help") at any time?

Questions, questions.  

Not being mean, folks.  C'mon, popping pills and seeking therapy are a couple of ways to go, sure.  But there are others.  And I speak from experience. Like the (Paul Revere and the Raiders) song says, "I've been up, down and allll around!"  And I say this: take yer lemons and make that lemonade.
