... "MRH" mthecarpenterATxcelcoDOTonDOTca wrote in message ... Clarification, my 'blahs' are not *just* 'blahs'... to be quite honest I've been in a deep depression for approximately two weeks.... thanks for the suggestions, but a 'walk' isn't really going to cut it. Hugs, Noreen You'd be surprised what getting out in fresh air and sunshine can do for depression. I know... been there, done that! Give it a try, you can't lose anything... except the depression. Gemini - I did it last week when I was hit with a HUGE bout of deep depression, and felt so much better afterward, that I did it every nice day we've had since then. Half hour each time! Thanks, Gem. I HAVE been out walking 3 hours every single day, an hour in the AM, an hour mid-day or mid-afternoon, and in the PM, after supper. NOT helping! Hugs, Noreen Best to see a doctor then! / Gem |

It's just one of those things... me thinks the events over the past almost two years have just culminated to the point of a boil-over... and thinking in those terms, guess it's better to be depressed rather than *snapping* or *going-postal*. I'll be OK, methinks my bootstraps just need picking up... they just seem a far reach "right now". Hugs, Noreen |

I'll be OK, methinks my bootstraps just need picking up... they just seem a far reach "right now". Hugs, Noreen I know too well about financial problems.... thankfully that doesn't affect the medical treatment here in Canada like it does in the US. Okay... let me think back to when I was told that I had cancer, by an uncaring slime of a doctor who sounded like he signed my death warrant and just didn't give a sh*t, and I had to drive home 30 miles alone sobbing the entire way, positive that I was going to die and not be around to see my son (not quite 10 at the time) grow up. Thankfully I was sent by my family doctor to a cancer specialist who was the complete opposite of the first doctor, and he told me to think of good positive things that I have to be happy about so that I wouldn't be depressed... because as he put it "Good positive thoughts are what will help you the most in this situation... and I am going to do everything in my power to get all the cancer and you WILL live to see your little boy grow into a man, and beyond that too." I came home after seeing him with a whole new outlook on everything.... yes, it would hit me from time to time and I would cry (I'm not a machine, afterall), but for the most part.. I would look at all the beauty in nature and share it with Matthew. I saw flowers, leaves, butterflies, birds, clouds, etc in ways I hadn't seen them before.... I smelled the fragrance from the flowers and freshly cut grass, and food, etc like I never had noticed before... and I heard birds, bees, children laughing, crickets, and even just the sound of the truck humming by on the distant highway clearer than I had ever noticed before. I realized that I had a LOT to be thankful for, and that it really was good to be alive even if at that point in time I had some scary things going on in my life. When I would hug and kiss Matthew goodnight, it felt extra special... even more than it ever had before.... partly because somewhere deep down inside the thought was there that it may not be for too much longer (no one ever knows for sure how much longer they will have someone in their lives for whatever reason) and I wanted to hold on as long as possible to take it with me all the way. That was 14 years ago.... and except for the 3 1/2 months of deep depression that I went through when my Mom passed away... to this day, even when things are looking really bad, I still look at, listen to, and smell things like it is all brand new again. The year after my bout with cancer both my parents had back to back strokes...more stress, then the following year my Dad passed away... more stress and depression. Yes, even when my Mom passed away 3 1/2 years ago and I was deeply depressed because she was my best friend as well as my Mom... when Matthew was around I hid it and smiled and laughed for him. Then there was the stress and depression 2 years ago about losing my parents home that my Mom had specified in her will, and then two days after signing the papers for this house Matthew and I both got laid off. So it's been one thing after another with us over the last 14 years. The depression that hits me now is partly because of an imbalance due to the Fibromyalgia (my doctor and I are still playing with levels of medications and things get out of wack from time to time), and a LOT is because of stressing about financial problems. I have my own demons to fight, and I have to deal with it every day in whatever way I can. So.... I know that you have been through a lot with your husband, sister, cousins, etc... but Noreen, they are still here. Whether the bills are stacking up or not (and I know that one all too well also... we have the same thing happening here where I am terrified that things will be shut off on us)... your husband is still with you, he's right there... go give him a hug like you'll never let him go. And remember the grandbaby on the way as well. Even when things get to be the darkest... a new life coming into the world is a bright light to hold on to and light your way through the bad times that overwhelm you. Good luck! Gemini |
