I found it on my friend's blog when you posted your cute Christmas video. I just have to say, your a life line for me. I have been coming to terms with my own depression and learning to recognize it for what it is and what it was. I look back and read journal entries and am astounded to think that I could have been so blind (or in complete and utter denial-which is more probable). I could've saved myself some heartache and stress and so much more. Thank you for being so honest and open. I really look forward to reading your blog. It's my reward for doing my homework and chores! :)Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595902772184293935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-38226909784132818072011-02-18T15:38:08.897-07:002011-02-18T15:38:08.897-07:00If, in looking back at difficult times, we see our...If, in looking back at difficult times, we see ourselves through the lens of love, remember this is how our loving Father always looks at us. <br /><br />You are remarkable. Someday somebody somewhere should make a movie about you. Maybe a spy-action thriller.

I know it's been that way for me. I recognized at the time that, yeah, it was hard, but not until the depression/mania cleared did I realize how sick I had been.<br />Love that print.<br />Also, my sister and I have a blog on being bi polar. Give it a read, if you'd like. I haven't posted much, but my sister has quite a bit. http://howtheunsoundmindthinks.blogspot.com/<br />Also, saw this and thought of you: http://www.katespade.com/samplesale/login.jsp?csm=185976928&csc=54073&csa=187247258&csu=54074<br />Let me know if that last link doesn't work.<br />Happy FridaY!Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005721662575187254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-89879341124864845672011-02-18T00:08:09.864-07:002011-02-18T00:08:09.864-07:00Wow, what a wonderful lesson to learn from you jou...Wow, what a wonderful lesson to learn from you journal!

Lack of sleep I think has a lot to do with it. Sometimes I feel a little blue at night and I remind myself of all I'm lacking. I prayed last time I did this and Heavenly Father told me to go to sleep. He was right I was really tired. But, if you can't do this because your baby won't sleep Just be kind to yourself:) and do the best you can. That's all Heavenly Father wants us to do anyway. I will pray for you. If all you can do is get your child some milk one day give yourself a pat on the back that you did that being as tired as you are. I don't know you but think you're incredibly talented. You're probably doing much better than you think.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05909654142829618873noreply@blogger.com
