RE: when does it stop
I hear that time helps..... I'm just waiting for it. it's not like i did not know this would happen.... I had been expecting it... and thought I was prepared.... but I was so very wrong..... it just brought up so much that I had hidden away.... and I feel like I'm going crazy. Being severely depressed on top of it all really does not help.... I'm following you now.... thanks for the kind words.... and I am sorry for your losses as well....
Thank you. I also have depression. You are just a younger version of me. How I coped was I stayed busy in school. I made A's. I graduated early from High School and went to College. we had to be out of the house by our 18th birthday. I got my first degree at age 19. I have three now. I have never had alcohol in my life. I was terrified I would turn out like my Dad and Brothers. I am a research scientist and busy myself in my research and inventions. This has helped me by distracting me from my depression and horrifying child memories. Like you I do miss my Dad. He did have positive qualities. He was super funny and was a Genius (IQ rating). Stay in touch. I will help in any way that I can
will do, I did school for a long time, could never pass this one math class I needed to transfer..... took the class three times.... and each time did worse.... so I gave up... got two associate degrees and about 6 certificate programs.... but my depression and anxiety have kept me pretty much homebound for years. I have had a few months here and there, where I was good and could go out.... but then something would happen and it would put me back to step one.... the fear is paralyzing. so now... I'm doing therapy, to really get to the core....and it's some of the hardest work I have ever done....mentally exhausting. but I'm trying... cause I don't quit. ..... I just pause.
One more thought that helped me. Trust me on this one. After years of research i found that taking Dr. Joel Wallach's products called Youngevity really has helped me. The majority of my depression is handled by getting 77 natural organic plant derived minerals and 13 vitamins/amino acids. His product called Beyond Tangy Tangerine has helped me beyond belief. The product is a powder that I mix every morning with water or juice. It has helped my body's chemical balance and metabolism. Check out the website youngevity.com
looks great, but out of my price range..... I'm on disablity and I have no extra cash after I pay rent utilities, dog food, medications and laundry. maybe once i settle my dad's estate, I will have a tiny bit of money to splurge on myself.
It will be money well spent to take care of your health. I have up drinking soda and chips to purchase the Beyond Tangy Tangerine
