I am in no way creeped out, in fact, quite the opposite... so thanks again for saying all the nice things. We all have our battles and I genuinely feel happy that one of my biggest ones only visits me once a month (even though its brutal while it's here). I'm glad we have become friends through our blogs- I think you are such a fun, funny and wonderfully intelligent person!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283734633307210275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636557748550370107.post-9036105601417145212009-01-02T20:06:00.000-08:002009-01-02T20:06:00.000-08:00aww, Angie, thank for sharing this. I just spent ...aww, Angie, thank for sharing this. <BR/><BR/>I just spent like 15 minutes trying to say something really heartfelt and warm and fuzzy about my own struggles with depression and meds and "the crazies," but really, all I have to say about all the issues you've presented here is:<BR/>1. I think you're a lovely human being and it looks like you have an amazing life and I'm genuinely happy for you. I know we're not really close, so I hope you don't think that's creepy. <BR/>and,<BR/>2. I respect you so much for making such a charming life for yourself and your family and your husband and your dogs knowing you did it all while dealing with this.<BR/><BR/>ok, phew. take care, girl.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126147887553994870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636557748550370107.post-90555920473685980682009-01-02T19:52:00.000-08:002009-01-02T19:52:00.000-08:00Thanks for your sweet comment.

I didn't put two and two together (ie I feel this way every single month right around the same time), but that realization has changed my life in a great way. I still feel dumpy sometimes but not in a nearly paralyzing way like it used to feel- it was very, very extreme. Yes, those negative feelings are hard to admit because people don't always understand and are quick to say things like "cheer up," which is not helpful and might even make you feel worse because you just can't. <BR/><BR/>Love you too :)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283734633307210275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636557748550370107.post-70391057708731907062009-01-02T19:24:00.000-08:002009-01-02T19:24:00.000-08:00Wow Ang!

I come from a family with a pretty solid history of mental illness, and while my family understood it, I thought that if I admitted I was struggling with depression, that it meant I was crazy/suicidal/homicidal. It is a scary thing to realize that sometimes you need a little help in the brain chemistry department, but I am glad that there is less a stigma now than I've noticed in the past. Thanks for sharing--you've always had guts, and every once in awhile I am reminded that it is one of the reasons I love you! <3felicitouschickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173420031699519569noreply@blogger.com
