bad and good news - POTW
I just wanted to thank Paula and all the rest of you for the positive thoughts and posts you have given me.
I don't feel up to going into details, but I am in a MAJOR depression right now and am working with several psychiatrists/therapists to beat it. That is the bad news in my life. It porbably started back in December 2006, with the separation between me and the ex. I chose to ignore it and kept pretending all was wonderful in my life instead of dealing with the stress, etc. Then came Jeff and I thought I was truly happy. I now know that I was just a co-dependent to him. When the break up with Jeff happened, I truly went on a downward spiral.
Although my brain tells me that my relationship with Jeff was not healthy at all, my heart has been telling me different. I have been feeling so lonely and unwanted, which is the depression talking and I know it, but I can't help it. So the good news is that all of you have lifted my spirits so much. I appreciate it so much and it really could not have come at a better time.
I know I will beat this and I just have to take it one day at a time, but for someone who is not real patient, it is very hard. But I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate each and every one of you. Support is the name of the game, and I am so thankful of the support you all have shown me.
Much love to all,
Jillie

Sorry things have been tough on you. I have dealth with severe depression for many years, but the one thought that gets me through all of it, is that I know that tomorrow will be a better day. If it's not, then there will be another day that will be. You can just muddle through the bad ones and soon enough there will the rainbow. Keep your chin up.
Hugs, Diane
Jillie - I'm so sorry you are struggling so much right now. I've been through the major depression, and at the time it seemed it would never get better. Just try to keep in mind that it does get better - not in a big flash of lights and confetti falling from the skies, but in the little signs around you that God is with you and your friends all love you. I'll be sending good thoughts and prayers your way. -- Carol
