I may not be popular around here...but ....

Laynie, I'm sorry you feel so bad. I took up art as therapy, I now have people buying my paintings. It has really helped me to feel much better. I hope it helps you too.

I just don't understand how to crawl out of this pit. I keep falling back in. No matter how much help I get it does not seem like enough. Maybe I am just too needy. I just want to be done with feeling like this.

Unfortunately it sounds like you're suffering from the fall out of deep depression, hon.

I know it's easier sad than done, but try not to beat yourself up.

And it's okay to be needy when you don't know where else to turn.

LaynieK- This may sound odd, but let go. I don't mean give up, just stop struggling. Just be. Being in that pit, it's the same as being sick. You don't push yourself when you have a cold because you won't get better. Rest and take care of yourself. You'll pull through. (hugs) And you can always, always talk to us if you want to.

If you can take some time for yourself tonight to just relax and BREATH.

We often forget to nurture ourselves. As a mom you obviously nurture your children 24/7, but how much of that love do you extend to yourself?

It doesn't have to be anything major. Something as simple as curling up in a chair with a blanket and a warm cup of herbal tea ... or hot chocolate. Just anything where you can "decompress" from your busy day.

    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...
