You are so right...
Quote From: lidicaI didn't get a chance to write to you yesterday. I am glad you got yourself out of the house and to work! It is the blessing of a job that I thank God for when that dang buzzard depression hits me and takes my joy away. Here's something to think about Sweets. Maybe it's a good thing right now your son is away to give you a little time to beat that ol rascal depression down. So have you tried going to a doctor to see if you can get something to help you through this depression? I remember how long I struggled with it on my own until I came to the boards and Thank God my Sista 29 was on that day and told me to go to the doctor and get some meds. I was on Celexa for awhile and now I am on St. John's Worts to keep me balanced. I now know some coping skills and every once in awhile I sink down and have to be reminded here how low I have dropped. It is the good thing about the boards is everyone gets used to your moods and can help remind you when things get too dark for you. Many hugs and prayers. I can imagine it is hard being without your child but wish happy times for him and rest up so that you will have lots of energy when he returns. Sometimes Sweets we think our depression is from one thing but when we search deep inside us we find it is another. Maybe your child keeps you distracted from having this time alone to see this problem. I hope you do not get mad with this that I am saying but I am speaking from experience of what I have gone through. I focused so much on my hubby I never let myself see ME! God bless you! You hit the nail on the head. I suffered from depression before I got pregnant with my son and while I was pregnant with my son. Before I got pregnant my doctor put me on celexa and I hated the way it made me feel, I told him I was getting off of it, and I have yet to take another anti depressant. I am hard headed I guess you could say. I want to beable to beat this thing all on my own, and I am finding little by little that it just sneaks back up on me. After I had my son it was like I was a whole new person. I could stand on my own feet and keep my head up by myself, I realized that I didn't need a guy in my life, all that I needed was my son. He & I did great for a while, then I started to get lonely. So I buried my head into my online classes for college and thats where I stayed. Little by little I started to go out with friends, and what do u know...I met my "now" husband. He walked into my life and saved me from whatever it was that was creeping up on me. It was great, and then we got engaged, bought a house and started planning. I slipped right back down in that hole during my wedding planning. Decided about 2 weeks before the wedding that I didn't want to get married and that he wasn't the one for me. Funny how that dark hole surrounds you. Well we went through with the wedding (that was April 30) he is a great person and a loving father and husband. I just can't seem to get myself happy with anything. With my son there I covered it up and spent most of my time with him. But with him being gone I thought well this will be a great time for my husband and I, boy was I wrong. We haven't fought, we just haven't talked. I have buried myself in my work, in my chores, in my computer. Whatever it is I can do to avoid him, and I have no idea why.
