Your moment of zen for the day
 

"Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure you are not in fact surrounded by assholes". (Or in many of our cases, an abusive alcoholic).
Peace!

Ha ha ha! :tyou

And remember, learn from the actions of Dark Helmet: when he realized he was surrounded by Assholes, he didn't get depressed, he told them to keep firing!

FoG, I have seen that before and it always makes me laugh! Thanks for bringing it up again.

Thomas, I love that movie too!

Well in my case it was an a**hole abusive alcoholic!!!!

HP-yes, it's an oldie but goody....no way am I claiming it as mine :) it's more of a fill in the blank to fit your situation :) thought we could use a laugh today!

Love it!! Just put it in my recovery journal.

I can't wait to see what you post tomorrow....lol

As funny as that is (I've laughed about it before), it's also so sadly true.
I had postpartum depression after the birth of my 4th baby almost 17 years ago. It was awful. Meds helped and it passed. But there has always been this underlying sadness ever since. Many times I've considered going back on meds. I think I finally figured out in October that it was actually just the sad, steady hum of being married to an alcoholic. Just that realization, and beginning to utilize Alanon and SR have greatly reduced that sadness. I guess I've realized that I really do have a problem, but it wasn't depression like I thought. It's just unhealthy coping skills.
Anyway, it's still a funny bit. Sorry to get so serious.

oh so true! love that!
