How are you? Things have been much better for me.  Not too long ago I was dealing with the death of my most closest friend, my mom and my separation from my husband (my choice); I was depressed. I knew I was depressed becasue it was effort to do things I normally would do, like go to the gym, cook good meals, like to shop for clothes, make myself all pretty.....etc. Now I am starting to get back on track, have since joined a new gym (even though I only go 1-2x a week vs. 5x a week), make better meals, starting to like the way I look again and am becomming conscious of my attire.  Depression grabs a hold on you and the only thing that shakes it is time and patience and compassion, for the self.

I am divorced now officially one month and I am starting to feel a little pang of wanting to celebrate the holidays again (since my mom died I have no desire to be with family or friends around the holidays) I just want to sit quietly and reflect  by myself. Which I know is still remnants of the depression but I also know the only thing that lifts depression is time. No pill. No drug. No person.  Time and patience.

So, thanks for asking...How are things on your end?

Last I saw you you'd graduated high school and were quite the career lady with a job. Are you still thinking about being a phlebotomist? We think of you often and pray for you just as often. Most everyone is on Twitter this summer and his new blog where Dr. Phil is talking to us live. Some are on Depression Board on New Dr. Phil Community that you can click to go to above top post.
