*HUGS* it's just like you said...it's a phase. It'll pass eventually, and don't feel like people don't want you around. You seem pretty darn great to me I think dreads would look wicked on you!!! just a full head of dreads on your pretty face.....wow Love it!!!
I'm not sure how I feel about the dreads, but you definitely need to stick around and work on the next phase to come after this depressed one. If there's anything we can do to help, just let us know.
These feelings are the tricks our busy minds work on us when we most need treats-- it is hard to tell in the middle of 'em, but this is the course these wild feelings will run on ya. I can only hope you do whatever it is that will bring you a little peace or comfort, but for what it's worth, I'd miss you much if you were gone. Be well.
