I make sure I get up every morning take my shower, get dressed, put on some makeup, do my hair, and anything else I can think of to feel better, and it was starting to work until my son asked me what was going on. He said mom you haven't gotten dolled up in such a long time. Are you sleeping around on dad? That broke my heart, and I just can't get out of this slump again. I'm still trying to take care of myself, but it doesn't seem to help anymore since he said that. All I can do is cry. Please pray for me that I don't slip back to my bad habits, and that I can get through this.

Love you all,
Suzanne

Yes, Suzanne - I have.

Sometimes it's just temporary - from life situations or pregnancy - but a lot more of the time it's a chemical imbalance and can run in families... like mine.

Please see a Dr. Please don't feel ashamed of this. It happens to alot more people than you realize. You can try over the counter meds but I didn't get enough out of them. And if you do go to the Dr - please remember that you might have to try several different meds and it takes a while for them to start working - sometimes around 6 wks!

Please don't feel alone - you're not - but please try to do one thing a day - even if it's just getting dressed. IF you can - try to take a 5 minute walk (outside). Fresh air and sunshine can have a major impact on how you feel.

If you need someone to talk to - just let me know. Don't let the holidays start to get to you!!!

Big Hugs to you, girl!
