Thank you for such kind words. I think that way sometimes where I wonder if having all the things I want right now- a good job, a husband, and kids, would actually change the way I feel-I think for the most part it would but maybe not. I was told by a therapist a while back "don't 'should' on yourself" LOL I try not to so much. I really wish I felt this way when you say, "We are survivors and worth fighting for and things can be much better." I should blow that up and hang that on my wall. Really.......
All the best,
Kristen
> Kristen, my heart goes out to you. I am 53 with husband, 2 kids, a job and all the things that should make life what it should be, and still i have times when i feel just as you do right now. I "should" do this and that, i failed at this and that, the emptiness and lonliness get intolerable even when my family or friends are around me. This is the depression taking over, and we have to try to see it as the enemy, we have to fight. Talk to someone, Kristen, and keep trying if the meds arent helping enough. Let your doc know. We are survivors and worth fighting for and things can be much better.
