Good evening, everyone! I'm quite new here again, just being on day 2-- so I'm afraid I don't have anythig wise to say. I wish you all the strength to get through the early days, if that's where you are.

Thank you mama bear , My "aunts" granddaughter came home from college today to say her goodbyes. We had as much a normal day as possible. Everyone is heading back to school/work tomorrow and I am glad for the normalcy, hubby is feeling a little better and I am so grateful for an amazing summer. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Evening everyone and special hugs to dear Pauly... :huggy our old coping skills are tenacious to say the least.

Mama so happy to see you got a relaxing day. September not shaping up for me...have a therapy appointment this Saturday. Should help:h

Lizann your picnic sounded so nice and maybe helped with embracing your Aunts situation. No matter how long we have our special family, its just never long enough...:lGlad you are here.

Glass, congrats on your sons impending nuptials. How exciting !
We were at a friends wedding yesterday and it was just...so...beautiful. She's someone who just glows in her life and in others and her new husband is simply wonderful. The girls sang The Rose and everyone was teary and touched. :h

Wish I could say I'm beating this thing hands down but I'm not. I've never really suffered from depression before so my progress has really been interrupted. :no:
I know some of you have experienced depression, Mama? Nora? ...this just sucks...my therapists said the bi polar was more centered on the 'mania' part of my mind set. Not certain what he s talking about but will talk to him at length Saturday.
Love you all, :l

Hi Everyone!

Yay September! I'm sooooo ready for the summer to be over...mine was not that great, to say the least.

I had a good 3 day weekend...I bought a new vacuum on Friday...a Dyson...not sure if you guys are familiar with those, but WOW that thing is amazing. Sad that I'm so excited over using a vacuum cleaner. LOL I also went to the thrift store (twice!). Back on my juice only diet for 7 days. I gained 7 pounds which is not bad considering I've been laying on my butt for 12 weeks and eating nothing but chocolate and grease.

Hope you're all well today....will check in later!

Love y'all!!

A vacuum cleaner?? WOW....sexy, thrilling news!! tee hee
Clay started with the tears again this morning...it's alwaays a Monday thing...and I am over it

I know Mama...the vacuum cleaner news is almost too much to handle. LOL

Poor Clay...it's hard being a teenager...period. Then you grow up and it's hard being an adult!

Sierra is determined to get her hair cut SHORT. I just hope to high heaven that she likes it. I remember many times getting my hair cut and crying for days because I hated it....and she has such beautiful, thick hair too.... I'm gonna cry when it gets cut :upset:

Kradle - Hope you're doing ok today. My depression has lifted a little since my foot healed. I know you deal with a different level of it, but I want you to know that I do understand how it feels...and it sucks!

Where you at Nora? Check in and report that you TTFP! :h

A vacuum cleaner definitely exciting.
I too suffer from depression, some days are just harder than others. I did think al helped but no in the long run it did not. Just checking in. Quiet day at work. Hubby made an appt with his doctor for next week. Really? Just trying to keep it together. Will take a walk In a bit with my puppy ,the love of my life. It is her adoption day today, eight blissful years together. We had a little party with a special treat!

Morning all,
off work for 2 days woo hoo! don't think I will even get out of pj's.

kradle depression is awful. I have battled it for years, on and off meds and self medicating. combo that with anxiety and you have a messed up person. Since kicking AL to the curb anxiety is a lot better depression still comes and goes. Meds help, please let us know if we can help!

hi to mama, pauly, juja, lizann, k-9 and anyone else I missed.
