The last few days have been difficult.  Life is so uneven.  Sometimes these moods catch me off-guard.  That's especially hard to take.  I hope things are all right with you.  I wanted you to know that.

Hi Ladyblue,

Hang on! I have faith in you. You have my full-hearted support.
You know this is a up and down affair, it WILL get better. I know, it's
easy to preach but you're not alone. How do you feel exactly? Did
anything external cause you to feel this way? Is your family supportive?
Although I feel better lately, I have low moments and try to weather
them as best I can. I meditate and exercise a bit. When I feel bold
enough I see a friend or two.
Hope to hear from you, Ladyblue, lots of love.

Thank you so much for answering.  I'm glad you're doing well.  No, nothing specific has happened, that's what's so frustrating.  My psychologist says that I just "cycle" and right now I guess I'm in a trough.  

My husband is very supportive but he doesn't really understand, not ever having had depression himself.  (And I pray he never does understand.)  My mother just worries and keeps telling me to "hang in there".  She doesn't really know how bad it gets.  She would just worry too much.

My therapist is out of town so I won't be having my weekly appointment which is stressing me out a little.  Also one of my few understanding friends has been out-of-town this week and I've really missed her.  So come to think of it I guess there are a couple of reasons I'm panicking a little and feeling alone!;)

But I'm trying to keep things in perspective.  I now things always get better if I can just tough it out.  Kind words from others who understand really help so I am so thankful to hear from you.

Yep, as my mom says, i'll just keep hanging in there.

take care yourself!
