hello fellow brides! Good to be back!

Hows everyone doing here? I'm trying to catch up by reading all your old posts!!!

I obviously can't go into every single one but I'll send out a few quick comments:

To everyone with new checks: congrats on your checks!!! YAYYYYY!!!

To anyone who's had a shower, engagement shoot, or any big news to share (that is positive): congratulations to you too hehe!!

And to anyone who's been having a hard time lately: You're in my prayers. :)

Ive dissapeared for quite a while because I have been battling a serious case of Depression. I've been through a lot and I'm trying my best to recover from it. I won't go into detail just yet but some of it got so bad to the point where I even considered to call of my wedding and move to finland or something! lol. Don't mind me, I laugh to make light of things. I've just been frustrated with so many things. I've been having arguements back and forth with FH and with my family. unbelieveably enough, not about the wedding.

Work is sucking my dry of everything that made me like this job when i first began.

I'm just dissapointed in a lot of people in my life. Like I said, I won't go into detail but I will say this:

All my life I've been 'there'. I've been the person everyone could count on, I was always there. I'm the listener, im the nurturer, I'm the comfort. This time around, when I first started to break down, no one was there for me. In fact, they just added to my stress! lol My best friend of many years married a while ago and we basically grew apart when she started making her own life. She moved away and she just stopped calling one day. I have a gazillion friends, don't get me wrong but not someone I can speak to. Also, its tough when all my friends are his friends. I've felt so alone.

Last night was sort of the culmination of my breakdown...the cherry on my fantastic sundae...

and i realized. Depression isn't easy to deal with but I'm not going to dwell in this any longer. It hurts to feel this way and it hurts to be alone but I don't have to let it take over. I can conquer this. I've conquered worse battles.

Anyway, I'm here. I'm back and I'm sorry for posting this lengthy post! lol. I just needed to get it out somewhere...

I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling this way. Depression is a very serious thing, and you shouldn't go through it alone. Have you considered going to a therapist?

Sorry to hear

I completely understand how you feel. It's a daily battle...It took a while for my dr to get my meds right, but I feel like a whole new person now.

I saw PSA for depression awareness in an airport once, and it said 'you wouldn't tell a person with cancer to 'get over it'....' It stayed with me, and made me feel more normal

Good luck, and if you need someone to talk to I'm here!

thanks guys. And yes, I've def. considered it. I realize: I have a problem.

I know: I can always go to a therapist.

I wish: I had the strength to just go!

I'm determined: To take this step by step and work my way to that point.

I was given welbutrin for depression and anxiety before and im not really big on medicine, so I never took them. I'm the type of person that never EVER EVER shows when she's crestfallen. I'm always happy and go lucky! and I dealt with it...my way.

But when the people in your life take advantage of you and try to take away your light, the only thing you have, it gets harder and harder to survive this...

I know what i have to do...I just need to get the courage to do it.

I'm so sorry to hear about what's going on and I hope that everything get back on track soon. I know you don't really know me but if you ever need to vent I'm a really good listener. Send me and FM whenever.

Glad to have you back on the board!

oh wow...sorry your going through that hopefully things will get better soon

welcome back tho!

My sister battles depression and she takes the meds and they really make her a totally different (and in her opinion, better) person. we're here for you but you definitely shouldn't go through this alone.

maybe you should set up a meeting with a counselor or therapist - someone to just listen to you speak. sometimes we all need a sounding board and there is no shame in doing it.

i'm sorry you're going through this and wish you all the best

I know exactly how you feel seriously .. 2010 has been not only the worst years of my life but a definite wakeup as to who my true friends are... ME!

FM me if you ever need to talk! Maybe going to a few g2g and trying to get away from the stress will help.

I am sooo sorry chica...
U can FM if u wanna talk.... =-(

Rezare por ti =-)

Welcome back! I am so sorry you're going through a hard time. One of my close friends takes lexapro for anxiety (I'm not sure if it's prescribed for despression as well?) and she said she feels like a new person--almost 100% better. She struggled with the decision of taking medication for some time, but is so happy she did! She also saw a therapist and said it helped as well.

Hope everything works our for you, and soon!

Welcome back! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, and I hope you continue to become stronger and fight against it.
