I would like to add that sharing this stuff with all of you, goes against every fibre of my being. It's hard for me to tell the public in general this stuff. It is hard for any person suffering depression or mental illness to tell the people closest to them this stuff. This too is a part of the therapy thing (seriously, my shrink told me I have to 'engage' more...I'm new at this, I may occasionally over compensate. lol). But also, I know that all of you totally understand this :o)
Happy New Year to you too. May this new year bring you as much joy & happiness as possible. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI too suffer with depression & anxiety. For as long as I can remember. I become suicidal from time to time (at which I suck at actually achieving) & am currently unable to work at all.
My spinning & knitting helps keep me going. I have made some beautiful friends through my craft life who have been so amazingly loving & supportive through some of my darkest days.
Big hugs to you!
Thank you for sharing this with me. I know how hard that can be. I'm so glad you've found a great group of friends to be your support group. Best wishes to you also xoxo
