I can tell you that after my dad died so suddenly I wandered around half asleep for months, not really knowing what to do with myself. If you really are depressed, it can't hurt to talk a therapist. Even a few sessions would probably help relieve some of the internal pressure.Mnowachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05801278895391618166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-44439592131998746902009-02-13T12:02:00.000-05:002009-02-13T12:02:00.000-05:00wow. im in tears. don't know what to say except yo...wow. im in tears. don't know what to say except you are an amazing person, human, friend... i knew i shouldn't have read this at work. <BR/> <BR/><BR/><BR/>grabbing some tissues.. whewww<BR/><BR/>LOVE YOU!<BR/><BR/>p.s. why didn't you tell me you wrote this!?!Danielle Runshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229360551667859922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-79623393322004495472009-02-12T11:51:00.000-05:002009-02-12T11:51:00.000-05:00You may have a great life, but you're still under ...You may have a great life, but you're still under a lot of stress. You just lost your father and were moving to new cities and new jobs every month. It's normal to go through this. Just be careful. Sometimes you can pretend everything is great until it actually is great. Other times, that makes things worse. When my brother died, I pretended everything was fine for as long as I could, but things just got worse. I only got better after seeing a counselor and using antidepressants for a few months. Make sure you're doing what's right for you.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09996048454603381291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-50680989049682067732009-02-11T16:39:00.000-05:002009-02-11T16:39:00.000-05:00You say you don't have a reason to be unhappy, but...You say you don't have a reason to be unhappy, but the reality is that you're still grieving the loss of your father. Which is totally understandable. His death was sudden and unexpected and must've certainly caused a lot of hurt. <BR/><BR/>Seek professional therapy. Talking with a counselor would be a great outlet and that person could adequately diagnose if what you've suffering from is temporary or if you need long-term treatment that may involve drugs.<BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-59745513519233446812009-02-11T12:13:00.000-05:002009-02-11T12:13:00.000-05:00hang in there girlie!!! lots of hugs being sent yo...hang in there girlie!!! lots of hugs being sent your way... but i think its definitely normal, especially after what you went through this year, it hasnt been an easy one for you. you have lots of support and love, but definitely make sure you take YOU time as well and address your feelings. sometimes you just need to get them out you know?Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-65051110350785656352009-02-11T11:42:00.000-05:002009-02-11T11:42:00.000-05:00Hi, I've been reading your blog and thought I'd po...Hi, I've been reading your blog and thought I'd post on this one. There are a few non-drug ways to help with depression (I'm a pharmacist), you may already be doing this but if not I would start taking Omega 3 fish oil caps. The omega 3's can cross the BBB and have antidepressant effects. There is SAM-E, which kicks in faster than other kinds of antidepressants. It can be bought OTC (comes in a box with blister packed pills). Also of course there is exercise which you are already doing. I know you don't want meds, but if you're truly depressed you may need them for a while, it doesn't mean you are weak or that there's anything wrong with you. If you had a heart condition you would take meds for that, depression as I'm sure you know, is a real physiological change in your body, not just "in your mind." Take care and best wishes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946765294977587434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-24313286932669272922009-02-11T09:52:00.000-05:002009-02-11T09:52:00.000-05:00I can't image how you must feel right now but it's...I can't image how you must feel right now but it's ok to not be ok. Just because your life looks perfect to the outside world doesn't mean you have to pretend it is or that you are ungrateful if you don't feel happy. Honestly, you might consider seeing someone to talk about this, it could help you manage the grief and understand your feelings. Know that you've got lots of blog friends thinking of you and praying for you.Trophy Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07810054394176074460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-75487555197942812992009-02-11T09:05:00.000-05:002009-02-11T09:05:00.000-05:00hang in there, christine. everything evens out in...hang in there, christine. everything evens out in the long run. we all have up and down periods mentally. i had a really bad down cycle a couple of months ago. but i think it's fun to know when you are down, and it makes you appreciate when you are up.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-86050249183578039522009-02-11T08:40:00.000-05:002009-02-11T08:40:00.000-05:00XOXOXOXOXOXOXO!To me, everything you're saying sou...XOXOXOXOXOXOXO!<BR/><BR/>To me, everything you're saying sounds normal for where you are. At our age, it seems normal to question what you have and what you want, and it seems like you have a really realistic picture of where things are. I genuinely don't think you're being that negative - you're just asking some natural questions.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100746061554733157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-27509706852804443282009-02-11T08:20:00.000-05:002009-02-11T08:20:00.000-05:00Sorry you are feeling negative but you are a very ...Sorry you are feeling negative but you are a very strong woman and will get through this rough patch. When I feel this way I like to think of how all things in the universe have this up and down cycle going on and this down will make me stronger when its over. Your dad is always with you to help you get through the tough times and enjoy the good times, use his strength. Good luck!

This is a good thing. Take notice and take care of yourself - you may find that the ways you took care of yourself before don't work to get you through this, and might need to take a break from many of those things in your life. Open your heart to new ways and ideas of healing. You will appreciate and care again. It will happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331703965704260554.post-31131675019287082852009-02-10T20:44:00.000-05:002009-02-10T20:44:00.000-05:00I am so sorry you are feeling this way.

You lost your dad and you are in a very stressful program for school. It is ok feel something other than happiness. It is not being ungrateful, it is being human.<BR/>Once you go through these emotions you will be able to move forward, smile and be yourself again. Healing takes time, take time for yourself, but don't forget about those who love you.

Can you make some quality time for just you and your husband to go somewhere together? Even if it's just a movie and or dinner. Or, do you just need to be alone? If so, talk to your husband, and tell him you need a place to "escape to" for half a day or a full day. Pamper yourself at a spa if you can.I'm sure he will understand. I've read back through your blogs. As you have said, you have done a lot, and have a lot. What you don't seem to have right now is peace of mind, and relaxation time. Somehow, someway, make it happen, the sooner the better. Good luck!Marathonman101108https://www.blogger.com/profile/01653913024687849329noreply@blogger.com
