Good luck with everything and the most important thing I learned with depression is that there is no 'easy fix' and that it takes effort from yourself as well as help from other sources (like medication) to feel better and stay feeling better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355970909676770565.post-61392768344464421162014-09-03T12:15:27.685-07:002014-09-03T12:15:27.685-07:00Sending you big love this week. xoSending you big love this week. xostephanie howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085190231056457463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355970909676770565.post-89940267745301374432014-09-02T11:24:52.010-07:002014-09-02T11:24:52.010-07:00Oh my goodness Elizabeth!

Your previous blog was so real and so honest. This is why people such as yourself should have blogs. I admire the "real life-ness" (is that even a word?) of your blog. So much strength and prayers being sent your way. You've had a crazy busy year (and really...that doesn't even give your year justice) so I can only imagine the feelings you must be having. I am so glad that your Hottie is supportive and that you're working together toward a goal. Keep the posts coming, no matter what the content. Thinking of you!

You've had plenty of it, with ...Change is hard. You've had plenty of it, with having a new baby (a very very cute one! but dang they wreak havoc on our systems, don't they?!), quitting a job, moving to a new state (that's not just hard for the kids!), losing some family members, getting to visit with family, only to have to leave again, getting close to girls on a derby team only to have to leave them and try and form friendships with a whole new team, living in a house that you hate while waiting for your home to be built, etc. This crap adds up. People need solid support systems and it sounds like you are trying to be everything to everyone and, while you're doing a fantastic job, you need to be taken care of too! You need a support system that you simply haven't had time to build up yet. (I know you have an awesome family - I mean a friend who you can call up if you want to get out of the house for the day.) I'm so glad to hear you are being kind to yourself. Just know that I HEAR you and I'm on your side! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972859923451824080noreply@blogger.com
