Moving, at least for awhile.

    I'm sending good vibes your way. I can relate, in part, to what you're going thru...... the depression and moving..... I can only offer the advice I give myself every day, sometimes several times a day - it's not always easy, but allow yourself to be human and understand that this is temporary, you are a good person and things *will* get better. Lean on those who are there for and care for you........ you're very fortunate to have a support system. Keep strong......

    Pardon my horrible singing but *ahem* The sun will come out, tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tooo-mo-rooow, there'll be sunnnn. Music Told ya it was bad.

    But seriously, as I like to tell friends of mine that are having a rough time, just remember to breathe.  Everything else will fall in line.

    The boxing should be a blast!

    Hello everyone. T-Bone is having a great time here and I actually graduated bartending school. I still plan on getting my CJ degree and being K9, but I need a trade where I can bring in some good money relatively quickly. I had a med switch and am feeling a whole heck of a lot better. Finally sleeping good! Mom's surgery is March 10th, and it turns out she has bone spurs on her spinal cord also. Bad news. I'm trying to keep her happy and things light though, however I might go away for awhile right after her surgery. Turns out she'll have staples, a drain in her spine, etc. and she's worried I'll be upset, she'll have to put on a happy face, etc. etc. we'll see....

    So glad to hear you're feeling better!! Good thoughts to your mom :)

    Thanks, I am feeling better, even though things are rough I am coping in a much healthier way. I think seeing a good psychiatrist helps. I can sleep and he tripled my Prozac dose. I'm doing things I love again, reading, jogging, laughing, I even went to the boardwalk here and rode carnival rides all by myself and had fun. Smiling at strangers, enaging in conversations, etc. My mom told me something that at first I found disturbing, and now I find peaceful. Nothing is as permanent as it seems at the time. At first I took it as, everything will always fall apart. Now I'm seeing, I will always have options and a way to move forward. I can always back up if I need to, also. I'm only 21, I have time... God bless my mom, my doc, T-Bone and all of you for being so supportive. It really helps

    It's so good to hear that you're doing better. I think your mom is a very wise woman and she obviously loves you dearly. I hope things continue in a positive direction for you but as you said, if not, you know you can always pause and change directions. :)

     I say something similar - everything in life is temporary.  There is always a change of one sort or another.  My current state of whatever (fat, unhappy, lonely, broke, bored) is temporary.

    THAT rocks!!!!  I love that!  What this tells me is not only that you can have fun, but that you can recognize the good stuff around you.  Depression kind of robs you of that appreciation, so it's great to read that you can see it and enjoy it!
