Sometimes, When Life Knocks You Down -- It's Hard To Get Up
Good Morning Cindy,
I've struggled on and off with depression all my life. I have quiet times here myself. It sometimes seems too hard to just say hello even. I hope you are doing better now.
Hugs,

Sweet Cindy, I'm glad to hear from you! I will tell you what I do when the "blue funk" threatens to descend. I LEARN something. It's the best antidote to depression that I have found. I get mentally engaged in learning something new--a craft, a point of history, a horticulture thing--whatever. If I can keep my mind busy, I find I can get through the day better.
Not trying to minimalize your depression at all! It's real and it's painful and it's hard to overcome. I'm so thankful that you are feeling better. Please keep posting. We will bolster you up, if you'll just let us try.
Love you, dear!
Vickie, thank you for responding to my post.
I'm glad you found something that works!! I'll have to give that a try -- definitely cheaper than gong to a doc. I just want to say, though, that I am thankful for my doc. He definitely worked with me to get through the tough climb!!
Hugs and kisses.
Cindy P.
