I've had hard times in my life, when I was let go from my old job and couldn't find a new one. I was depressed, and scared, and felt useless and worthless for five month. <br />So I just want to tell you that you're an amazing woman, strong, brave and beautiful, and I wish you all the best :*)triskelosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770108475315144407.post-296237277313103052011-11-16T22:07:20.487-06:002011-11-16T22:07:20.487-06:00Awesome!

At the time I felt if I made myself busier I wouldn't feel the sadness I was feeling. Long story short made a trip to the doctor, he diagnosed it as depression gave me a prescription. But I ran from it because of the stigma. I figured that maybe I was too busy and the lifestyle I was living as trying to fulfill this Superwoman role. Things have SLOWED down in my life and I still feel the same. So maybe I just need to make a trip and tell myself it's ok. ;) Thanks for the post.Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770108475315144407.post-39565908269637323742011-11-14T15:33:12.109-06:002011-11-14T15:33:12.109-06:00Oh I like the combo of green and leopard! hehe plu...Oh I like the combo of green and leopard! hehe plus you look so happy :)Kimberlee VDWhttp://twitter.com/KimberleeVDWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770108475315144407.post-61543637488089838272011-11-13T19:02:24.172-06:002011-11-13T19:02:24.172-06:00Frances you were so smart to get it checked it out...Frances you were so smart to get it checked it out by doctor!

My mom is Bi-polar and it has been a long, hard process in getting her to overcome the stigma attached to this horrible illness and understanding that it is ok to take medicine for it.

I've been there, it's awful, and I waited way too long before asking for help because I felt like it was all my fault and I should be strong enough to fight it by myself. It was pretty scary. I'm so glad you're feeling better now. And thank you for sharing.

It's hard to talk about it sometimes, but I try not to be afraid to bring it up because it's an illness just like anything else, we take antidepressants like a diabetic takes their insulin, why should there be a stigma?

I totally get the stigma that some Christians have about depression and medication, I've heard it before, but I want to encourage you and I hope that you feel better and I am glad that you are, you are a courageous girl to have moved back there and to be touching the children's life despite the sacrifice it has mean in your life. I hope everything continues to improve and I'm so glad you are feeling better! =)Sheynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770108475315144407.post-91002532111645346342011-11-09T16:36:31.981-06:002011-11-09T16:36:31.981-06:00Being depressed is scary, but sometimes seeking he...Being depressed is scary, but sometimes seeking help seems scarier.
