I do that too. Some days are better than others, but some days when I get started, it's hard to stop. But keep taking those deep breaths, enjoy the glass of wine and just stop. You can do this.

To ...Oh so much to say and so little time to do it. To chime in real quickly . . .<br><br>I know all too well the things that people say when the word depression or manic is brought up. People either change the subject, walk away or say something that makes you want to shoot yourself (if you didn't want to already). It is still such a taboo subject. One would think that since it is all over the news and tv shows we would used to it and more supportive. But the older I get the more I realize how few truly nice people there are in this world. It sucks but at least we begin to know where the real people are we can trust, ya know?<br><br><br><br>Also, I laughed aloud when you wrote your husband is like Fun Bobby.

Depression is not a choice and it takes hard work and a lot of time, meds, to get one's life back on the right path. So for crying out loud give a hug and an empathetic ear! That is my rant for the day. That one is for my Michael.Alexiahttp://babiesandbacon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-42388769291476313132011-05-25T02:18:28.000-05:002011-05-25T02:18:28.000-05:00sending love & hugs :) LOVE the marriage vow...sending love & hugs :) LOVE the marriage vow response!!Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-86653084039789370442011-05-25T15:52:47.000-05:002011-05-25T15:52:47.000-05:00I can't believe the horrible things people say...I can't believe the horrible things people say when they have no idea what really went on. I understand not fully getting depression - but those comments weren't "I was trying to be kind". They were like the comments that you want to stab them afterwards. Kudos to you for not. <br><br>I love your honesty on these posts. It helps me to know what to say, how to act, and to put myself in someone else's shoes.Dianahttp://hormonal-imbalances.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-42895515631929327832011-05-26T09:06:48.000-05:002011-05-26T09:06:48.000-05:00I laughed out loud at the things that people have ...I laughed out loud at the things that people have said to you...not because it's funny, but because people's stupidity never fails to amaze me. <br><br>I think I've told you that my mother battled depression her whole life. It always amazed me how little people really understand about it. Even my father and my grandparents...they had no clue and did very little to educate themselves. It's almost like they thought it would go away as long as they didn't talk about.<br><br>I'm grateful to you and others who have laid it all out there so that the rest of us can benefit from what you've learned. My sister in law has been battling depression and is now trying to come off her meds so she can get pregnant. It's a struggle and I worry for her now and for after her pregnancy. But thanks to what I've learned from you, I feel like I'm a little better prepared to help her. <br><br>I think you are brave and strong for what you do here every day and I'm so grateful to you for doing it.shanahttp://www.fumblingtowardsnormalcy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-66711454428320269802011-05-28T11:34:06.000-05:002011-05-28T11:34:06.000-05:00People are completely without censors sometimes.
