Sorry

As I am sure you have all noticed I am lagging on the blogging department of my life. Sorry but right now in my life I am just trying to make it one day at a time. As most of you know I have dealt with depression in my life and it is back with vengeance. I was taking meds to help but they weren't really helping so I came off my meds and just was taking supplements, exercising, and trying to get out of the house more often. That worked for a while but then around Halloween I just started feeling down again. I wasn't really bad, just had a couple bad days. BUT then around Christmas when I was up visiting my family it all came crashing down. I didn't really want to be around anyone, I was very short tempered with Andrew, and my family confronted me about my problem and said I needed to get back on my meds. I HATE being on meds though b/c I just feel so numb, and I don't feel like I can connect with Jon or Andrew on any level. BUT I HATE feeling like my life has no purpose and just sleeping as much as I can so the day will go by faster. I know I am not in a healthy place at all, but I just feel so trapped b/c I hate being on meds but I can't live like this any longer.

I am grateful though for my friends that have reached out to me and tried to help me, but I just feel so guilty b/c I can't reach back to them. I feel frozen with hate and fear and hopelessness.

I am not writing this to make anyone feel guilty or bad, but I just have to get this out or I am going to burst.

Lasses, are you OK? I'm super worried about you. We aren't saying you have to take meds, but I do have to say that on the outside you seemed a lot happier when you were taking them. You need to do what is best for you. Just know that we love and care about you SO MUCH!!!

Lexie-one thing from when you lived here. The minute you want to hide by yourself and shut off, that's when you need to call somebody, me, the girls, Jon. There's only one person who wants you to live in a dark and lonely place. I can't imagine how you must feel, but know that we love you and you are an amazing person. You have a beautiful little boy and a husband and lots of family and we all love you. Please call and reach out and do whatever you need to get help. Call anytime, we love you!!!

Lexie,

I just came across the Sacrament book that you made for Luke and his class awhile back. You were such a sweet and dedicated teacher and those kids felt so loved by you! Hope that things continue to get easier and that you will feel buoyed up by all of us that love you!
