Hey all.

I apologize for not being here in forever. I've been really sorting things out, as well as climbing up from the bottom. I've been really having a difficult time dealing with my depression as of late. For those of you that don't know...I've had a lot of major stressors in my life. I'm not quite even sure what to talk to my GP when I see him today. I'm gonna talk about the issues I've had with my knee from when I fell and sprained my foot, but there are a lot more deeper issues that I'd like to bring up, but am afraid to. Long story short...in a period of one month, I found out that I was being illegally evicted, lost my job, huge family fight/gramma came to live with us, boyfriend broke up with me, and dog died. Oh, and did I mentioned I moved back home... yeah, that's the greatest part about it all. This has been a huge trigger of depression in my opinion, but I'm so poor/broke I can't afford to move out. OH well.

Going to see the doctor (GP) today. I'm gonna takl about how terrible my knee has been since my fall, but also toying with the idea of my obsessiveness with binge eating, and obsessing over my weight (feeling fat, feeling ugly), and just overall unhappiness with life in general. I am still seeing my councelor, but feel that it's just not helping. I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry I haven't been here in a LONG time, just trying to deal. Also, I've been busy working my two jobs now. Have had hardly time to think for myself. Thanks for reading, and take care. I've been thinking about you all.

((((((Erin)))))) You are showing us all that any one of us can survive. It may not feel that way right now...but you are a role model. You are handling things as best you can. You are standing upright and fighting. GOOD FOR YOU!!!! Good for us too. It helps me to hear that afterall that bad stuff you still find a way to come here and share with us. Awesome.

A few words.

Sorry about your dog.

Try to put a deaf ear to your dad.

Ask your doc about auto-immune diseases.

You are home, it sucks, but do the best you can.

Two jobs are a start to get you out.

And...of course,

Men are stupid. Accepting that will make all the rest seem better. lol

Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

Take care,
