Depression,by Henry

[HENRY]

I'm sure you all have wondered if I've dropped off the earth or something,all is okay!Been really dealing with some bad bouts with depression.I am on meds,it's just that somedays I don't have the strength or will to get out of bed!I really wish I could say that its just a case of the blues!Just doesn't shake off that easily!If it weren't for my pooches I don't think I'd be sitting here now writing!
I do see a therapist too,and believe me that really helps too!For those of you out there feeling the same you probably understand where I'm coming from!Some people just don't understand that depression is a disease just like cancer and it can kill!It's not just being sad,somedays I pray to God to please let me die,I'm so tried feeling like this!That is where my faith takes over and God grants me the strength to keep going on!

In time I hope to be back posting and chatting with my dear family on the message board again,just for now bear with me and just know you all are always in my thoughts and prayers!I just have some issues(mainly weight)that I'm struggling with!Galli,wrote and said that you all are posting up a storm in recipes,anxious to see whats there!!P.S. pooches are doing well and taking care of their Poppa this time!!Little Buddy is 100%!!!MUCH LOVE TO ALL YOUR KITCHEN GURU HENRY

I know how crippling depression can be, I am sorry to hear you are going through this. Lean on us, talk about it, we will be hear to listen. I know No one can fix your depression but it is still good to reach out to those who deeply care about you just to talk. Talk about it until it doesn't hurt anymore. That is what I do when I am in the depression cycle. Good luck my friend.
