Unfortunately, when you are clinically depressed, you sometimes push people away and sabatage relationships, which is what she did a lot of. I remember reading an interview she did with Jet back in '91 and she mentioned something about a wonderful man she had met who was treating her like a queen. She said she chased him away because she didn't feel that she deserved to be treated well.

sad That's sad. Phyllis deserved to be happy, the same as everyone else. But I can see how depression would affect her that way. sad

I've sufferred off and on from it over the years and it's a real son-of-a-bitch! It can be crippling. People who have never been through it don't understand. I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy.
