Since Thanksgiving I have been in a rut...so to speak....I am sad about my kids' dad not helping me out financially with them, about my relationship with my current boyfriend, about the holidays coming and struggling to get presents for my kids, about my finances....and all that bologna. I have been depressed on and off for 2 1/2 years, I suppose with the help of meds makes it on and off. I thought I was doing ok and wanted to be rid of the meds so I haven't been on them since the middle of July. I didn't want to be dependent on them. I have usually been able to bring myself out of the ruts with the help of my boyfriend but this last week I just can't shake anything.
So where has been my Daily Strength gone?

It is so hard when everything gets on top of you to see the top of the rut. I know, I am there. I have even drawn a picture of "my vally" on a huge white board to remind myslf that I just can't see the top but it is there non the less. I am with you on this one. I suggest that you make an appointment with your doctor and go back on meds. I know it is not an ideal solution, especially if you are worried about dependece but it will help you see your rut for what it is and deal with the current stresses. Online hugs to you

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...
