The "god box" is an interesting idea, incitingsilence.. I'm definitely going to give that a try. I've always loved writing and I did get myself to sit down and write about my feelings a few times and it was very cathartic--maybe I'll start to do that again as well.
Thank you all for your advice.. you've all made me feel so much better today than I would have felt if I had not stumbled upon this forum.
