So true Lynette! There has been some great support through this blog - for me and also toward one another.

Was just thinking how special it is to “hear” bloggers share their love and concern for one another on here…. its been so lovely to reread comments and immediately feel compassion and understanding … we all need that.. no matter who we are or what our own journey is…. to be accepted, loved for who we are , and encouraged.

Thanks for your kind works Susan. It is still a very much misunderstood disease. I try to do what I can to help others understand and reach out to those who are in the same boat. Right now I don’t feel very strong. Lightening

Hi Emma. thanks for taking the time to comment. It really means a lot. It is good to be able to share with others travelling a similar road. I have just started meeting with a Mental Health nurse to look at ways to “manage” the condition. Guess that means I have to face that it’s not going away any time soon. But it is good to have support services around to help. I did do counselling for a while. It was helpful (albeit very draining). {{{HUGS}}} Lightening

Wow, I’ve just come across your blog and can totally relate. I hope you don’t mind me commenting. Just feel in a totally similar place. You’re so brave putting it out there for others to see. Made me think that perhaps I could do the same. I have a small group that are supporting me, but I also have had others that I’ve turned to shy away from how I’m doing as they don’t want to know. That part really hurts and has a massive impact on top of my depression, pretty well makes me feel worthless. I’m on medication and I’m also getting counselling. I would recommend counselling as it puts a lot of things in perspective and does (at least for a time) help with well being. Hope things get better for you soon. Thanks for sharing.

I understand what you are going through. And I think that more people than you would think are in the same boat but not confident enough to admit it. I think you are very strong to recognize that there o kudos on your strength and bravery. I think you don’t know how strong you actually are. If you were not you wouldn’t have been able to admit it to your readers. And if anyone thinks less of you they are just flat out stupid. keep your head up.

Thanks for the reminder. talking about it is a great way to deal with these things, even if it is on a blog on the internet. There’s always somebody out there that cares about you, ALWAYS. Dont ever forget that. Sending you hugs.

Good one for getting in quicker and seeking help…..fantastic for being so open about it as I believe when people see or hear someone else being open about it then it helps them to feel more confident and relaxed about seeking help themselves or at the very least talking about it….THANK YOU!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU. More than words could ever express. My heart hurts for you. I know this isn’t who you want to be. I MOST CERTAINLY don’t think less of you!!!!

I think some serious prayer is in order here… name the time. I’ll bring the tissues.
