Feeling a little better today
Today I feel somewhat more focused than usual and feel like I want to get some things done today. I weighed myself yesterday even though it wasn't weigh in day and I had lost 6 pounds! I could not believe it! Today I want to work on the kitchen more, water the grass and plants, and take a walk. It's nice to feel a little bit more optimistic and wanting to do things. I hope I am able to follow through with my plans. Also want to remind myself that just because I have fallen back in to depression doesn't mean it can't or won't get better. I need to have hope that I can and will get better again. I've been there before and can get there again. I will not let this illness defeat me or make me give in or give up. Yes this illness is powerful, but my ability to heal and get better is even more powerful. I will not quit!

Good to hear! I am also trying to keep the depression at bay. But it\'s hard considering the people I live with don\'t give two hoots about me!
You are amazing Heidi!
Yay!! for you for the weight loss and for your determined spirit!! XO
Hi Heidi, i am encouraged by your journal, although you know your depression is there you are refusing to allow it to take over you, it will pass, i hope you can keep hold of that. I do understand how the bleakness can seem overwhelming, hang on in there my friend. You are doing great, one step at a time, one day at a time xxx well done on the weightloss too!!!
