Hello girl! I'm sorry for everything you have gone through in your life and no it is not easy to deal with any of it, but I'm here for you if you want a friend or just want to talk to another girl who believe me has a ton of problems of my own. I have so many things wrong in my life that I'm actually too tired to even go into it tonight especially after getting annoyed at my husband again. We haven't had a good marriage for a very long time. I'm also a breast cancer survivor which is actually the least of my problems. Mom and Dad have passed away and even though I have three older brothers who love me they have let me down in life in different ways. It's a dysfunctional family for sure and I have not seen any of them in a long time. We send Christmas cards to each other, but I'm afraid of trying to get close again because they just cause hurt feelings to occur and my husband does not help matters because he hasn't turned out to be the man I thought he would be when we married. I"ve been through severe depression and takes meds for it along with anxiety pills, but it's not enough and I' m sad so much of the time. I'm here for you if you ever want to just talk, etc. Hugs and may God watch over both of us.

That is a lot to deal with and I’m sorry for the losses of your loved ones. Depression is tricky, it’s like we are always under a dark cloud that never clears up. It is good you decided to reach out and share your struggles and I hope you find you are never alone. Have you been seeing a therapist, if not would you be willing to seek professional help? I would not have to be long term, just long enough to get over this speed bump. Sometimes we need a little push. I have a chemical imbalance that causes my depression that I take meds for and for me, it helps me find some balance to where I am able to function and find some peace in getting thru day to day. I do hope you find that balance and I wish you the best.
