I'm so sorry you didn't get more out of partial this time. I am glad that you have the connections you have with Randy and Ginny, though. And I definitely think you should take Randy up on his offer to visit. I also like your idea about sending him a little thank you note. Anything you can do to stay connected to people during the worst of the depression will help, I believe.
I'll be interested to hear about your Anne session with Ginny when you get a chance.
I also understand the fear that this will last forever. For me, it lasted one solid year (and I'm talking about the worst part of depression with the non-stop suicidal ideation). Then one day, I woke up and realized I didn't need to count the hours until bedtime (where I felt safe) and wasn't obsessed with doing myself in. I walked on tiptoes for at least 6 months after that, expecting it to come roaring back, but I held my own. I've had some problems with depression since then, but nothing like that year. I always refer to it as my lost year.
Wish I could do something more to help.
