So, I decided that instead of just talking about how hard my depression is that I will talk about my little battles that are won during the day. In other words focus on the things I am doing that are good and that will help me with my depression or that I did despite my depression.
Today I went to the grocery store with Jon. Most people would think whoop-dee-doo but it is a BIG deal b/c with my depression I don't want to get out of the house and see other people (even though that is something that will help me). YEAH FOR ME!!!
Then when Andrew woke up from his nap (I didn't even sleep while he was taking his nap like I would usually do) he wanted to go outside and play...so even though I didn't really want to go we went to the park for a little while.
Then when we got back from the park I decided to make tacos for dinner, which is a HUGE thing for me, b/c I don't even cook dinner when I feel good. YEAH FOR ME!!!
I also read my scriptures and a conference talk today. YEAH FOR ME!
Alright enough bragging about myself.
I am way excited to go see my family this weekend. I love my family so much.
Well, I might not be taking down all the walls but I certainly did things that are chipping away at the walls. YEAH FOR ME!!!

I'm so glad you had a good day! Keep it up! What a cute family you have!!
Congratulations on a great day, Lexie! Keep up the good work!
Yeah for you!
Been thinking about you tons. I had serious hormonal imbalances (thyroid problems)for years after each of my last three pregnancies and know what it feels like to not want to talk to anyone and to have all of my emotions and realizations backfiring all day.
I'll be praying for you.
Way to go on counting all of the great things you are doing.
Keep fighting, girl!
