Thank you so much. I have seemed to have mostly pulled out of it, sometimes the most important step is recognizing it. I aprreciate your kindness more than I can. That offer goes both ways.

Hi Military Wife
I was diagnosed with depression last month, so we have something else in common other than knowing a lot of corny song lyrics:) I'm here to support you if you want me too.

I can really relate to what you've said in many of your posts. As I said in my other comment, my boyfriend is in Iraq right now and last night I had a meltdown. I deal with really bad anxiety and OCD. I'm on Zoloft for it now (I tried going off of Paxil right after Mike left from leave... yeah, that didn't work) He left for Iraq last Wednesday and I haven't heard from him... but he said it'd be a while. I just worry, which I'm sure you do as well. But I finally realized after my tears had dried that there wasn't much that I could control while he was over there, I couldn't stuff him in my purse and bring him back or send a big box with a lot of postage. So I will control what I can over here: my anxiety, my outlook on life, and taking care of myself and remembering to smile. Please do the same

Wifey,
Slow down and take care of yourself. Depression has a funny way of sneaking up on us, especially if we try to out run it. It's kind of like a bitch slap to the face. Also, it tends to happen to a lot of us during this time of year. I don't know what to tell you. I wish I did. I wish I had a magic wand I could wave and make it all better. Especially for you I wish that, because girl, Lord knows you've more than been there for me. If you need a shoulder or someone to vent to or just listen, give me a holler. I'll be there. I care.....

Thank you. I am working on it, I just have to remember that I can't save the world if I don't save myself first.

Oh sweetie, that is a rough one. I have dealt with it for fifty years or so. I take meds now for it. Mostly I finally learned to listen to my body and do only what I could and no more. This has been great. I will say a prayer for you. Do thigs you want to do if it is stay in bed all day do it until you get the upperhand. BB
