It's a hard thing to write about, you're journalling is very touching. I hope that you are able to FIGHT the fight and get yourself where you need to be. I really like the simplicity of this page-- the journalling is the power here, as it should be.

Laura - I have struggled with depression and I am so proud of you for sharing your soul - you have faced some serious sadness - but you are strong and I have faith for you too, that you will make it through.

I, too, have struggled with depression for a very long time. I hate it and I hate that anyone else has to go through it. HUGS to you for being strong...thanks for sharing your story.

Wow - what honest and raw journaling. {{{HUGS}}} I can't even imagine all that you've been through. So glad there is a way to help you feel better and even though you felt how it was to be off the meds, I'm glad it wasn't too bad and that you could get back on them.

This is so touching... and a confronting thing to write about ((HUGS)) It's an awful thing, but it can be beaten, just remember how much you've been through, and how strong you are... Beautiful page
