43.gif This is a picture of what we woke up to this a.m.. It snowed all night and the winds howled. We had a two hour power outage in the middle of the night.  We had at least 10 inches plus the drifts and very poor visiblity. Schools were closed and other businesses like banks closed early. It is still nasty out there, more snow and high winds. We have a four wheel drive so we could get around plus Michael has a snow blower, beats shoveling.

Not feeling the best the last few days just down in the dumps, no reason, it just is. Lots of crying spells, again no reason. smiley-cry.gifThis damn disorder just takes your life away. You never know when or why it comes upon you. Can't make plans to do anything because I may not be up to it on the day. This is a pretty shitty way to live.smiley-yell.gif somedays I feel like life is just passing me by and everytime I try to get on it just kicks me back down. Tis not the season to feel morose and depressed. I don't want my family to feel they are in anyway responsible for this. My hubby is so... supportive. I don't know what I'd do without him. He keeps me sane. Or at least as sane as I can be!!!

I know that all my DS friends understand what I'm going through right now and it is hard for me to even do my journal for the day. I will try to get a few answered tonight but if you don't hear from me don't feel like I'm ignoring you, I just can't keep up. My journal replies will probably short and sweet. Be well, my friends, Debbie

Debbie, I luv you and I am sorry that you are feeling badly. I am too right now. I swear this weather, lack of sunlight, throws me into it every single year. I hate it too. But, as you said, it is what it is. We dont like it but we bear it. We become stronger because of it. I had four hours of some energy today and now I am just down for the day. So sad that we cant just have our life for as long as we need it. Buttttttttttttt.......God does sustain us and bless us with tremendous love through our families and friends. We will make it through this I have full faith that we will. We are blessed and highly favored. Hugs

I can so relate Debbie. Thanx for the journal comment.I felt like crying all day too. This does indeed suck yet we are blessed with caring and understanding husbands. Each time we take a breath or a tiny step forward, that is progress and we are a success. Not the great leaps forward of the past but still moving in the right direction...toward wellness.
Blessings

It is a stressful time of the year and you have been so busy! It sounds like you have exhaustion to deal with that may be adding to the \"blues\". Praying that you will take a rest and give yourself some pampering time to get recharged. Have a good sleep. Blessings.

Yup, I feel the same exact way. Now I\'m tired of getting up, what for if I just keep getting knocked down. Anyway, hope you feel better. Take care!
