| Member  | Very Depressed.
Hey Ladies. I should be walking on air. Steve's surgery went well. It looks like they will be clearing him to go back to work about mid-July. This is great news. Why have I been so depressed for the past couple of days. I can barely get out of bed. I didn't go to work today. I slept until 1:30 and only got up because I had to drive my son to work. I am forcing myself to stay up now. I just can't shake it. What is wrong with me? I finally have some good news, and I get depressed.

Laurie, I think you've just gone through a tough time with your daughter and then her moving away and your concerns about Steve - things have probably just caught up with you. I'm sure the good news will settle in soon. I am thrilled to hear that Steve's surgery went well and that hé'll be able to go back to work.

Great news regarding your husband. Laurie...I'm one of those that sometimes get fueled by crisis. I don't enjoy it by any means, but I function, keep going and only fall apart occassionally. But I'm also one who's body will feel the effects after the storm has passed with extreme exhaustion and often stomach problems to boot. Get the rest you need and you may feel a rebound of sorts. Time to take care of you. Wishing you better days ((((Hugs))) Cece

We stay strong and upbeat through all the turmoil and then..........................DEFLATE so to speak. Give yourself permission to feel depressed today, it's all right! Go take a BUBBLE BATH. Make some popcorn, go sit out in the back yard and read a book and listen to your favorite music. BE NICE TO YOU TODAY AND TONIGHT. YOU'VE EARNED IT!!!!!! Believe it or not, what you are experiencing is NORMAL. Yep I said NORMAL, roflmao. Happens to lots and lots of folks, not just alkies, and addicts and codies. Be good to you today, tomorrow will be better and then it's the weekend. You can start breathing again, lol. I am very happy that Steve came through this and will be able to return to work, bet he is too, lol. Call me if you want to talk..................... Love and hugs,

Laurie, It is perfectly normal. And I am sorry you are feeling so badly. You have been through so much. I also noticed that you have been guilting yourself alot. I hope you will give yourself a break. These things that have happened are not your fault or any kind of "karma". Bad things happen to Good people. I am glad you took the day off and got some rest. In the bigger picture, I think you really need it. Only Ronald Reagan was the teflon man. The rest of us feel things, and things have consequences. Such as grieving. And being sad. And yes, depressed. love, Tena

Steve and I just had a nice talk about my fears and my depression with all of this. I still feel depressed, but at least I got some things off my back. Also, physically I am not feeling so well. I feel like I have the start of a cold or something coming on. I don't need this now. Steve's immune system is down from the surgery, and I don't want to get sick and get him sick. The heat and humidity around here has been killer lately, that's not helping matters much. I'll just keep praying and posting and talking to people until I get through it. I can't wait until things start picking up and I can start posting some really cool news. I think I am also afraid of getting my hopes up too high. You know that old 'doom and gloom' attitude. lmao Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers

Hey Laurie, We strive for progress, not perfection! Allow yourself to be human, okay? Being aware that you're feeling depressed is half the battle. Have faith that "This, too, shall pass" and in the meantime, please try to think good and positive things about and for yourself. Wishing you serenity and smiles, Luv |

Feeling a little better today. I worked my butt off today, We call the doctor who is the head of the practice the dictator. I usually work with him only in the morning on Fridays, and he goes to the other office in the afternoon. Another Tech called out today and I was lucky enough to have to go to the other office with him. His schedule is so busy that I don't have time to think about being depressed. Now all I can think about is how sore my feet and legs are. lmao. Steve is feeling much better today, and that is a good thing. He also has a job lined up. Something easy for now. He was asked to manage a mens recovery house that is just opening in our area. It should be up and running in about 2 to 3 weeks. Just in time for doctors clearance. things are starting to fall into place. He also has 3 side jobs (construction) lined up for next month. Just last week, I heard God's voice telling me it was going to be OK. and here it is, it's going to be OK. Thank you all for all of your love and support.
