Hi,
I just googled and your blog came up. I can relate to a lot of what you were saying about the curtains, making the soaps and the loss of motivation. I am glad that you have gotten your get up and go back again. I have a blog too about depression. www.speakingaboutdepression.wordpress.com
You do have a lot on your plate but you have so many interesting hobbies, making the lotion, painting birdhouses...and a sunny climate in California to enjoy.
So nice to meet you!

Wow Deborah, I never knew that no motivation could be a sign of depression. I am glad that you decided to start making <a href="http://www.contempocurtains.com/kitchen-curtains.html">kitchen curtains</a>. Did you know that window curtains can spruce up your kitchen for the least amount of money? Isn't that cool? I learned that on a design show. How is your depression now? Thanks for the great article.
Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your life with regards to depression. It was like reading about myself.
I know EXACTLY what you meant about the sewing machine needle breaking. It's funny how the small things just suddenly seem overwhelming. I have many unfinished craft projects. I am so different from what I used to be like. I used to be running over with ideas, mentally quick, and for the most part, purposeful.
I just finished a 2 yr course of Wellbutrin in May. It helped tremendously, but today, I am starting to feel like I used to. Unmotivated, unfocused, forgetful, tired, I've gained back some weight, and feeling frustrated.
I am currently trying to find a food-mind connection. Any thoughts on that?
