You arent being puni...There might not be an answer. You arent being punished if thats what you are thinking. You suffer from depression. Plain and simple. Its a disease, and when you get used to living with it, adapt to it, use the tools the therapist gives us, it will get marginally better. When you can recognize it as a chemical situation rather than "this feeling means I dont belong in my own skin", it doesnt get any easier. but the times when you DONT feel depressed DO. If you think of them as dark clouds...today, I have a dark cloud hanging over me. So I have to wait out the storm...the sun WILL come out. and you will sigh in relief that you lasted another occurance and you will go along. Right now I think that your depression is affecting your physical health, which is logical. But sometimes taking care of the physical ailments will help left the clouds. do you exercise? east right? what about stretching or yoga? I think maybe even Tai Chi would be really good for you. I just urge you to keep surviving, Gabby. I barely know you, but i know your words and I know you are a survivor. Even if you dont feel strong, you have it inside you. And who cares if you cry. I cry once a freaking day. some people take smoke breaks at work, take a cry break. I just feel like you are where I was, a long time ago. This is what I would say to myself if I could go back. and I am aware that the old me would have said I was downplaying the pain.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519551151835647985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-737980848007224780.post-55098060712902558392009-09-29T01:22:53.168-06:002009-09-29T01:22:53.168-06:00I know EXACTLY how you feel.
