I gained a better appreciation of what my friends/family members who deal with depression really go through; I can imagine that this post would be very reassuring to someone who struggles with depression, too. I'm definitely hanging on to the URL of this post - I have a feeling it'll be helpful to refer to later on!Jenny Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320766378823015885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-63766065853691740232014-10-24T09:41:11.729-06:002014-10-24T09:41:11.729-06:00This is such an important message.

Through all these years of our friendship, I've seen that your problems have always come when you are trying to make your choices match with someone else's opinion/experience. NOBODY has more experience with YOUR body & YOUR mind & YOUR soul than you. I am so proud of you for recognizing this and standing up for yourself and your health.Mother of the Wild Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09247511282238437472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-76689179680651934792014-10-23T09:05:32.365-06:002014-10-23T09:05:32.365-06:00You are amazing.

I literally cannot feel love from other people, let alone Heavenly Father. <br /><br />When I am not depressed, I feel light and understanding. I feel love from others and from Heavenly Father.<br /><br />Many years ago, I ran out of thyroid medication and didn't bother to get a new doctor or a new prescription. I was totally overwhelmed with my life at the point. I didn't feel sick, so I didn't prioritize getting my medication.<br /><br />That threw me into one of the darkest periods of depression I have ever experienced. It was so bad that I contemplated walking away from my family. In my mind, I could see how dysfunctional I was and how that was hurting my husband and children. I rationalized that they would all be better without me. <br /><br />It took a miracle for me to see light. When one morning the fog lifted for a brief period, I realized that I needed to get to a doctor immediately. Sitting in the office of a endocrinologist was humbling. I wept as I explained what I had been experiencing. He did my blood work, but didn't hesitate to start me on medication immediately, because I needed help right then--not after the bloodwork came back. <br /><br />I understand medication isn't a cure all, but it can ease the challenges significantly. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences and being open about your life. I know it helps me.<br />Tiffany Wacaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224661646987749451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-10579179986420376502014-10-23T08:42:16.221-06:002014-10-23T08:42:16.221-06:00I love you.I love you.bythelbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119023763118062833noreply@blogger.com
