A little tidbit I don't really share about myself very often.

Most if not everyone that reads my blog probably doesn't know that I was diagnosed with depression around 2002 or 2003. I know SHOCKER! So because of that I always try to stay positive for my own mental health it's not always for others in fact most of the time it's for me to feel sane and normal. I am usually fine but, every once in a while I have an "episode" where I feel like I'm not myself. Now why am I telling you this? Because I have been going through a lot of trials these past few months and everything just came crashing down on me today and I just had a MAJOR MELTDOWN! Now I have to say that I have probably the most AWESOME mom in the entire world because every time I start to "lose control" of who I am she is always there to boost me back up! I just want to thank her for always being there for me and for helping me stay sane! She really is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her! So if you see a post on Facebook that may not seem very positive just know that it might be because I'm just feeling a little off that day. I also want to say that if you have someone close to you who suffers from depression just know that a simple hug can go a long way. Thanks

  1. I dislike that word...depression. sadly..I have been there too. December 31, 2012 was the last time I drank a caffeinated drink...that was a major depression problem for me. I feel soooooo MUCH better. I've always been a positive person. At times, I get ugly thoughts running through my head. For the past 6.5 months.....I feel a ton better now that I don't drink caffeine. It was really difficult for me to admit that I was suffering depression too. But with prayer, I knew that I could overcome it. Thanks for Tiffany! love ya!

  2. Oh Becky what would I do without you my dear sweet cousin. I don't like that word either but it is what it is.....mine happened after my dad passed away. I always feel better when I try to be positive, but sometimes however.....that's awesome that you haven't had a caffeinated drink for half a year! I gave up ALL soda over a year ago for health reasons and I also feel sooo much better. I'm so glad that we are family, I love you so much and I miss you a ton!
