Holly -- no political analysis, no market analysis, no technological
analysis, only a (possibly ill-founded) medical/emotional analysis:
depression.
If thinking your way out of your despondency has not helped, please
consider medical help. I am happier than I thought I could be since
I started taking Zoloft; my mother came out of a deep, deep well with
Prozac; and there are other antidepressants available if those don't
work for you.
I also worry about people who say "things can only get worse". If
you've considered suicide, getting to a medical professional, or
calling a suicide hotline if going to an MD sounds too hard, becomes
even more important.
One [...] at a time,
Kennita
