Understanding

Learning to accept myself as I am means that I accept that I have an illness.  Depression is an illness, but it does not define me.
Knowing that I have an illness means that I have the responsibility to do something about it for the sake of my daughter.
The black hole is not as deep as it was.

Still working on accepting what I am going through. Talked to the doctor today about a new medication along with the Wellbutrin. Hope it helps

Feeling so much better. Have made commitment to follow the Lord, in an accepting community. Still would like to find meaningful employment. Have lost about 25 pounds.

Very much better, although I\'m sad that my Grandma is about to go home to the Lord. I will miss her, but she will be at peace.
