My biggest battle I've been fighting lately is my battle with depression. I've been a bit overwhelmed with all I have chosen to take on and have been struggling to find my "me time". I used to hang out with my friends a bit more, scrapbook, and just hang... but with my new schedule I don't have time for any of that anymore and it's really starting to wear on me. I just needed to put this in writing so I can see if I see a pattern of when my depression surfaces and see if I can find a way to battle it without meds. I had it under control awhile back. Maybe it's just all I have taken on lately... I'm not sure. I also have AF visiting, so maybe it's linked to that. I'll see... but for now I think I need to just take some time to do something I enjoy without being stressed the whole time. I think tomorrow I'm going to bake. It's "Good Neighbor Day" this weekend, so maybe I'll do something nice for my neighbors and maybe my spirits will be lifted with service.

Hey--I was just looking at this post and wanted to suggest something. You might want to try looking into seeing a naturopath to see if you have a hormone allergy. My allergy to prolactin really throws me off--and affects me like depression in a lot of ways. I also burn B12 vitamin like crazy--so supplementing with that has helped me keep up my energy and my moods. Anyway--I don't mean this to say that depression is an easy fix, because I know it's not. I just wanted to share something that's really helped me so you would know that you have other options for treating it. I hope things are going well for you and that you're still able to find the time you need to stay balanced!
P.S. A long time ago you mentioned getting together next time we're in AZ. It's quite possible my little brother will be getting married down there sometime within the next few months. I will be SURE you let you know! I would LOVE to see you and your family!
