I am having a better day. Or days I should say. Sometimes when you're feeling down it's amazing how terrible something can seem and then just a few days later that same thing doesn't seem so terrible. I usually have a pretty bleak out look on my life. And that's selfish because when I'm looking at myself from another view I realize how good a life I have . I try to remind myself that someone has it worse than I do. I'm just such a big worrier. It's amazing how much of my time I take up worrying. In my last post I talked about my marriage. The last thing I want to come off sounding is like an immature brat. And right now the biggest thing in my life is my marriage. Maybe 20 years down the road it won't be. But right now it is. It's what I work on everyday.
On the other hand I am still struggling with a lot of issues. I've had a few setbacks. I guess my next goal is give myself the shove I need to get back into counseling. I always have a million excuses though. But my husband and I did talk quite a bit the other day and we are both feeling a lot better about things. Over and out.
I know how you feel . I too have a tendency to over react when I am down. I think it helps us to look for different avenues for the answer, solution, or whatever it takes
to see what put us in the "pits" in the first place. Don"t rush into anything too quick.
You have a lot going for you, more than you think. Just living in the great state of Wyoming must be uplifting. I haven't been any further West than Pittsburgh, PA.
I would love to see the Rockies. Stay on the Sunnyside of life.

Thanks. It's nice to know someone feels the same way. When I first came on this website and read some of the posts, I cried. There were people actually saying the exact same things I'd felt a million times. And you know what? I'm from upstate NY.Born and raised. I only moved to Wyoming because my husband grew up here. It's a beautiful state. And you're right, all I have to do is look out my window to the mountains and it does cheer me up. I hope you get out this way someday.
Bless both of you....I have dealt with depression for most of my life, but just recently pinpointed the problem. there are several things I would suggest: try an antidepressant (and if you don't like the first one, keep trying others----there are many to choose from that work wonders), get a dog (there is nothing like the unconditional love a dog will give you and you can give it---a dog will also be a reason to get out and walk on pretty days and will be something you and your husband can focus on rather than spending so much time focusing on how you're feeling), exercise (really, it truly helps---physically, mentally and emotionally), and know that God loves you dearly and doesn't want you to be sad~~ he has blessed you with so much beauty and blessings inside you and outside you~~go to him in prayer when you have a heavy heart and ask for his help.
