Wednesday I was having such a rough day. I had been out of one of my rxs for about 3 days. And w/o insurance(1st month w/o) I can't afford them. In the morning paper I had read that news about "research shows that having depressed parents can lead to depressed children" I have heard this before but it just really got to me this time. They say they want to heavily medicate the moms to change the outcome of the situation. Anyway....I have 2 (living) children, I already know that my mental health affects them. I try to pretend everything is ok but in my head it is not. My bf gave me $ to get my rx, it was enough to get all my rxs refilled, so I did. And even that depressed me...almost $500. I gotta get help paying for them. :(
That day do not get any better...my son had an appt at Hershey medical, which is about an hour and 20 minutes from where I live. I put my purse on the backseat with the diaper bag when I went to get my ds out. I put him in the stroller and when I turned around the car door went shut, LOCKING my keys, cell phone.....in THE CAR!! gggggrrrrr!!!!
Thank goodness yesterday was better and hopefully today will be too.

God could not be everywhere, so
hey honey...i'm so sorry you had a rough day...i've had a rough week this week myself. but its over now, and hopefully we will feel better soon.
as for depressed parents and kids and all that...who knows? my parents both take a/d's...my dad's is situational...but led to chemical...my mom's is chemical...the whole side of my mom's family is riddled with BP...now i see it in my ds...so its pretty much genetics. sad, but true.
hang in there!
love and hugs,
