Depression

[Guest guest]

Dear Christa,

Thank you and everyone who responded to 's letter. I have known her

for a long time and urged privately not to keep all these things bottoled

up within her. There could be something in her life that is holding her back

from feeling her true feelings. I know she feels bad about not being able to

talk to her husband because he has such sensitive feelings, so it is good that

she knows she has someplace to go for refuge.

I know the subject is no laughing matter, but I had to laugh when you said

you came out crying getting ready for the challenges we have to face. That is a

good analogy, but of course, we all know why we cry when we are born, it's

because it's our first spanking. LOL. I had posted some things on depression

some time ago and thinking I had done what I was supposed to do with the

information, I threw the book away, but it had so much useful information on

what to do when one is depressed. I know it is a dark room where no one wants

to go, but I read all of the posts and see that a lot of us have been plagued

with it and it should not be anything shameful to admit, it's just another

sickness. like diabetes or CML. We have control over some diseases with drugs

and support. The wonderful part about this group is that we all have strong

feelings about helping one another. We are all willing to put our shoulders to

the wheel. The ship is listing, but not yet sinking.

Blessings
