Hi everyone,

Lately I have been feeling extremely depressed again. Family issues that are unresolved are not helping matters, along with financial burdens that are getting too much to handle.

Being unable to work has really put us in a bind and I feel so guilty about not being able to get a job to help my husband. I have been worrying so much as to make my stomach start acting up again.

The meds help most days, but there are times like right now that I just feel like nothing will ever go right again. The worst part...everyone else is sleeping and I have noone to talk to about this.

I'm sorry, I guess...best I can offer is that you can vent, I don't know anything about the situation so I can't really offer much in the way of counsel.

Relax, take it easy. All will be well, and this, too, shall pass.

Making the choice to be happy when prone to depression is like a kick in the head. When I'm down it's pretty much impossible to see the sun in anything.

What works best for you Mary? What have you done in the past that's helped?

I sure hope the sun shines on you soon to warm your smiles.

You have my empathy, for what it is worth... :(

Hugs, Mary! I know how much of a pain it is for you and what you are going through and believe me I wish I could meet your family...I am sure they would not like me with the lecture I give them hehe....Promise more than just a poem ;)

Ah Mary,
You have daughters
Think to the future and seeing/ helping their families grow
won't it be fun to have the joy from grandchildren with none of the financial or emotional responsibilites?

Think of what our ancestors went thru
They did it so can we all...day by day...struggle by struggle...think of some good memories and how proud your children will be to share you and your memories with their families in the future

Breathe,.. and share... we'll be here for you in times like these
