You are an amazing strong woman. It takes a lot more courage to admit you need help and accept it than to just try and muddle on.

Despite any feelings of loneliness you might have, you have lots of friends who really care about you & are here for you [I'm one of them].

I have recently stopped taking my ante-depressants (in July, I have been on them since March 2009), and I am hoping I will be ok without them. It is very brave to talk about it, I know only too well how paranoid you can feel about confessing. Even my own family (extended) had very little idea how bad I felt some days. I have found that having something for myself helps, something non profit, in any way except my own enjoyment, I hope you have time for that in your life. While its true your children help you get through the day (you keep going on with the mundane and essential for their sake), they can suck the life right out of you too. A bit on me time recharges the batteries.<br />Wishing you much health and happiness.<br />V<br />xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309815229103285726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-62095708990623629392011-10-25T22:14:44.492+01:002011-10-25T22:14:44.492+01:00Hi Polly!

I also spent a similar period -recent saying true- and I know what is depression, I no had enthusiasm to do anything, I was often sad...<br />But the light is back and also smile on my face!<br />Then I wish you all good and luck! Stay up and take care of you!<br /><br />Sara.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309815229103285726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-39574001832947435472011-10-25T18:13:24.304+01:002011-10-25T18:13:24.304+01:00Sending love and thoughts too you sweetie.

Sometimes it feels as if nobody in the world could understand - but the truth is, I think there are a lot of understanding and supportive people out there. Good for you for realizing you couldn't do it on your own and getting back on medications. That's a very brave move!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309815229103285726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-83386613060555911042011-10-25T12:08:06.774+01:002011-10-25T12:08:06.774+01:00Good for you mama.

I'm currently on the down hill slope myself again, struggling to stay off the meds that I've been on for a year and a half. I'm throwing myself into life on-line (really trying to promote my stuff atm) hoping that some success and appreciation will lift me.<br />It sounds as if blogging has helped you stay buoyant to an extent. You've certainly done a good job of covering it up as I had no idea you were so blue again. You should have emailed you naughty girl ;) I don't think it's defeatist to go back onto meds. It shows strength as you've taken control of the depression rather than allowing it to control you. The only reason I came off mine was because I kept forgetting them and the constant mini withdrawals had me all over the place and to be perfectly honest I reckon I'll be back on them before Christmas.<br /><br />Lots of love to you Polly, you amazing lady.<br /><br />Talie xxxxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309815229103285726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-1226906011776472972011-10-25T10:13:48.547+01:002011-10-25T10:13:48.547+01:00Polly, no one thinks less of you for having down t...Polly, no one thinks less of you for having down time... it's allowed, honest.
