I went through a hellish 5-year period of severe depression and crippling anxiety. Because I wasn't able to work, I lost my house to foreclosure, ran through ALL of my savings, blah blah. Anyway, what changed my life was a good shrink and a kick-ass therapist. My shrink was tireless in working with me to find the correct cocktail of meds that would enable me to occasionally get out of bed and take a shower, and I'll always be grateful, but my therapist really saved my life. She helped me put myself back together, not quite the same person as before, but better. I saw her every week for years, and now go for tune-ups about once a month. What I'm trying to say is that you need a therapist to help you find yourself again. We can't do it all alone, and that's okay. I look forward to hearing more from you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-75753886343867131572014-03-03T11:13:28.022-05:002014-03-03T11:13:28.022-05:00I am sorry that things have been so rough for you,...I am sorry that things have been so rough for you, but it was nice to see a new post. Keep pushing ahead, because you have so much to offer, and you are missed when you disappear. I'm glad you had a wonderful time in Montana.<br /><br />This has also been the "winter from hell for me." We've had the death of BIL, whom we were responsible for, son's fire, and then my own health issues (see post below: http://janeisweighingin.blogspot.com/2014/02/finally-able-to-share-more-serious.html<br /><br />Such is life, I guess, but I truly believe that there will be better days ahead. Take care, Frances, and believe...E.

I have been having my own issues that seem to multiply like mold on my life...you give me courage, as you take your battered, bloody but brave self back out into the world as yourself.mary ann rodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639787144894232298noreply@blogger.com
