Gabbi,
I hope things have been better for you lately. I had a blip in the road earlier this week. I wasn't able to go back to work. In speaking with my doctor he thought it might be because of my decrease in the meds I am taking. I have increased my meds again, but only by half. I am feeling pretty good. One thing that is bothering me is that I no longer have my period. I don't know if my medication will do that but it seems strange that I have been on this medication for 8 months and now something like this happens. I took a pregnancy test about 7 weeks ago when this happened but I am now late by 4 weeks. I am heading to my family doctor for a pap smearn, internal examine and some blood work. Just something else to worry about, especially if I am pregnant.
How are things with you? Are you feeling any better? Are you still house hunting? How are the kids?
I miss talking to you and I look forward to your reply
Take care - Sharon
Hi gabbi,

Take care,
Casey

Hi Sharon sorry i havnt been around for a bit i have had a bit of a setback and havnt had any motivation to do anything i think the fog is lifting again though.
I am glad to see you are doing better i think it helps to be honest with people about depression as hard as it is it raises awareness and thats what we need people to realise this isnt just a 'feeling bad' moment its real and its hard to deal with and the more support we have the easier it is for us.So good on you for talking about it im proud of you :)How is your anxiety and/panics been?
I still have the occasional panic but still plenty of anxiety.It will be put to the test next month i am going to see James Blunt live in concert i absolutely love his music to death (i think he's pretty sexy too ;))i will let you know how i go, i am going with my best mate and sister inlaw im.Anyhow enjoy your days in the country.Take care.Gabbi.
Gabbi,
How are you doing? How is your house hunting?
Things here have been hectic. My kids have finally finished soccer and ice-hockey. In a couple of week Power Skating and Spring Soccer will begin. It is spring break here so my kids are going away with my in-laws for a week and my husband and I are going to visit his grandmother for a couple of days. It will be nice to get away from the city and spend a couple of days in the country.
Work has been okay. I have told my co-workers why I was away and that seemed to lift some of the weight I had on my shoulders. I think they really appreciated how difficult it was for me to tell them and they have all been supportive.
Take care and I have been thinking about you.
Sharon

Hey Sharon how have the past few days been for you? Is it possible for you to cut back your hours at work maybe its just a bit much for you at the moment.Im sure you feel like you should be able to do it and thats ok so long as your wonderwoman ;) i feel like i should be able to do everything but my psychologist has helped me realise this is unrealistic its ok to ask for help(though i have trouble doing that).Take care.Gabbi.
Gabbi,
Things are getting worse. My depression has taken hold and I finding increasingly difficult to come into work. I am breaking down more at work. My stress level is really high and all I want is peace.
How are you doing? How is the house hunting?
Take care - Sharon
Hey Sharon i was wondering how you are i havnt seen you around so im hoping that you are doing well anyhow just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts :)Gabbi.
Good for you Sharon i am so glad things are better for you.A day at the spa that sounds very nice let me know how you go you might inspire me to do that too i have been wanting to do something like that for ages but of course im scared i'll have a panic attack so i always chicken out :(
I have been so down lately which is why its taken me so long to reply.Today i feel a little better enough to do what i gotta do anyway hopefully tomorrow i will feel even better.I was going so well its a kick in the guts when you go well then bam down you go again wish i could just be happy.
Kids are back at school now my eldest loves being back my youngest son isnt too sure he thinks it goes for too long :) and my eldest daughter goes to pre-school every Thursday but isnt sure either she screams when i drop her off but when i go they say shes fine so i dont know.I enjoy the break though its very quiet and when my youngest daughter has her nap its lovely thats when i relax :)
I hope things continue to go well for you and you enjoy working more days.Take care.Gabbi.
