You have been missed!

You're entitled to a break now and then. Hope you're finding the break healing. And thanks for checking in. I hate it when a friend just disappears off the radar with no explanation. Makes me worry. Take care.

HOPE YOU HAD A NICE BIRTHDAY! TAKE IT EASY AND WE WILL CATCH UP LATER. KATHY

oh good, i was just thinking about you and thought i would drop by and check on you and then i saw this post! well you have been missed and cant wait to catch up! i know what you mean about needing a break from the internet!! i have that need sometimes too! alright well have a great night!!

26! Your'e a baby! So much life ahead of you. Congratulations on the birthday. My daughter's boyfriend turned 25 and is having what they call a "quarter-life crisis," so assessing where you are and where you want to go is pretty normal and can be good, too. A blueprint can be very helpful.

TO BE 26 AGAIN, I WIL BE 36 IN MAY :) BUT I STILL FEEL YOUNG AND DON'T REALLY THINK ABOUT MY AGE LIKE I USED TO. OUR FRIEND PAT'S B-DAY IS ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY - PRETTY COOL. THE PARTY I WENT TO OVER THE WEEKEND WAS A SURPIRSE 40TH FOR HIM BUT HE DOESN'T AT ALL LOOK 40. IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER AND HAVE A GREAT DAY AND WEEK. KATHY P.S. I THINK WE BOUGHT OUR 1ST HOUSE AT 25 - BEST TIME! LOTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN YOUR FUTURE, AMAZING MEMORIES! KATHY

I am starting to feel that, "OMG, I'm rounding the corner to 30 feeling".. I turn 26 in April... So I'm right there with you. Your birthday couldnt possibly fall on a better day! lol.. Well, maybe if it fell on St.Patties Day AND a friday... Hope you have fun, and you better let us in on all of the details!

Thanks for the comment. I'm gonna try my hardest to stay away from a lot of stuff, maybe eat prior??? I think going back on meds would be your 1st step and then starting eating healthier and exercise. Eating healthier and exercise for me, I was able to get off meds and have been good ever since but I notice when I'm not on track my depression does creep back. It' really up to you to take the 1st step and we are here to help and also make you feel more comfortable. I got depressed really bad before and after my son was born and it seemed like nothing worked until I started taking care of myself and I deserved to do that for myself and my family. If I'm not happy, no one is happy and that is really not a way to live our lives. Best of luck and here to talk anytime.

These down times are always so tough. It is wonderful that you've avoided binging while dealing with all these negative emotions. I read an article recently that said music is really a good antidote to depression, so crank up the music!!!

I think you have plenty of things about you that are super. First of all, it is just not the same on DS when you are not here. That is how big of an impact you have. Gotta be kinda special to do that.

You are sweet, smart, kind, understanding and compassionate. You are open, honest, and direct.
You have great insight. Your encouragements are thee best.
You are special and very, very precious.
And you have the most incredible avatar on site.

You know what is best concerning how much time you feel is right for you to spend on DS.

And no binging during all this ?? Awesome.

I was in a really bad place this week. When I was in the middle of it, I had little hope of things getting better, but they did.

Solutions are right around the corner.

When things get down for you, remember, this too shall pass.

Great to hear from you.

Oh my goodness girl i totally know that feeling of things fitting tighter...i put on my already tight pair of stretch jeans today, i could hardly button them...maybe we are just retaining water? Keep your head up! Good job not binging, i know how hard it is. Sometimes when i am depressed i write a list of everything i am thankful for...sounds corny, but it works. Also having someone to talk to like all of these great people
