Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
A letter to my b/f's Mom - Basically this letter is one I've sent to her asking her not to attend an event we will be attending and I am so proud of myself for not swearing, ranting or raving (Too Much) I had to share it.
*****,
When David mentioned Memorabilia to you, we weren't telling you you couldn't go. We were asking that you let us have this one, just us, because it's something we need after everything that has happened. These were our events, our holidays as it were because we don't go to Spain or Italy etc, instead we just do this. It's our getaway, yes okay there are people there but people we do not get to see very regularly and if I'm honest, people who are probably more supportive of us then most. People, who know more about me then my own mother does. Not even people. They are family. My family.
If you want to put all the blame on me for this then fine, I really couldn't care but for god's sake can you really be that selfish that you won't let us have one weekend with MY family, our friends and more importantly a weekend that's gonna be hell on my emtional unstable life as it is, that we need someone from our everyday life there aswell. Or are you too concerned about having a good time, seeing your friends to realise that the Memorabilia weekend will be opening alot of new wounds for some of us. Yes Steve was your friend aswell, but for some of us, he was alot more then that and maybe we need this time to help us grieve. Some of us, unlike others are not completley over his death, some of us still cry every other day about it. So if not for us, do it for thoose people.
And if after this you still want to blame me... Fine. But can you really blame me for being so hurt when all the support we were offered was 'if there's a price, I'll help pay it'......
So please just sit this one out...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
