I've missed you, too! I was so happy when I read that you would be getting

your surgery, I just let out a big holler! When are you having it?

I know that you've fought depression. I have had mild depression for a long

time, but never anything like this. I don't think you can understand

depression fully unless you have experienced it. I'm sorry that you've had

to go through this multiple times. I can't think of anyone who deserves it

less! You're the most kindhearted soul.

I hope you have a wonderful time with your granddaughter!

Love and blessings to you, too.

Carol

(((((((((Dear, Sweet Carol)))))))) ... oh how I've missed you, kiddo.

I'm so sorry you've been depressed. It is very hard, and tries to suck

all your vitality away. If you need meds, sweetie, you need meds.

Depression, aside from situational depression from a traumatic event, is

an illness, just as RA is an illness. I'm sure your kind Dr. will

research and find anti-depressants that are less likely to cause weight

gain.

I've battled depression off & on all my life. I know about hiding away

and not wanting to talk to anyone. (((((((((Carol)))))))))) I've just

come out of a little seige of the darn stuff. I pray you get whatever

help you need.

I've been doing so much in conjunction with the bariatric surgery...I've

been going to the support groups AND social events it other folks on

this journey. I've found I'm not nearly as anxious socially as I was

even a couple of years ago, and I am very grateful.

My granddaughter is coming to spend a couple days with us, and I'm so

anxious to see her. She'll be here pretty soon.

I love you, dear Carol. It is SO good to have you " here " with us.

All my love & God's blessings.....

Tess
