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.
These past few holiday have really sucked this one will probaby be the worst. (expecially when the kids grown up.)
2003 my husband drove truck and was gone for Thanksgiving so it was just me and the three boys and my oldest son's girlfriend (daughter-in-law now)
2004 my oldest son was in Washington for Thanksfiving training to go to Iraq. Chirstmas he was in Iraq.
2005 Oldest son still in Iraq for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
2006 Good Thanksgiving oldest son home and parents here. Christmas oldest son and his wife in Cal with her family.
2007 This year husband was to be to work by 2 pm oldest son and wife in Cal with her family, middle son talking about spending the holdiay with his roomates, parents with my mom's sisters, so that just leaves my youngest son and I. Christmas should be ok though parents will be here, oldest son and wife will be here, and husband won't have to work.
Sorry I know that this is trivial to some of you, but I have just been so acustom to us all being together for the holidays.

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...
The best thing to do is try and create new memories and traditions with the people present.
Sometimes we can't physically be together but our hearts are always together.
Hang in there. Hugs to you...
