I do know how hard that can be - yet I also know how much better I've felt afterwards!! You say you feel like staying in bed and crying. So, get out of the house, go for a walk or to the gym (exercise is such a great depression-killer!!). Go to the mall and people watch (leave your credit cards and checkbook locked in the trunk or the buying frenzy may send you over to extreme mania!!). Go to the movies - upbeat ones like kids Shrek 2 - but go easy on the candy so as to not aggravate the mania.
Hope that helps!

No, don't appologize, I appreciate the advice.
I *did* go for a run this morning, and I do feel quite a bit better. It's better for me to keep busy, so I'm doing what I can.
Thanks!!
