I know the blog has been a little quiet lately, and the posts I do share, a little dark, but that has been life lately. I have been quiet, except to beg for help as the depression and I go another round.
Last Thursday I reached a level of despondancy I have not known in many months. I cried like I haven’t cried in a long time. And that brought an eery calm.
Have you ever been afraid of the calm and the quiet? It is a scary place to be.
But the Lord is not leaving me there. He has brought so many to walk with me. He will give me strength I do not have in order to continue to fight this demon of depression. Thursday I will head to a new doctor, actually a team of doctors. I am scared. I am scared of the questionaire, I am scared of sharing my story again. I am scared of trying another therapy and having it not work. And yet, I will walk. I will walk when I would rather hide. I will speak out when I would rather be quiet. I will fight for my girls. I will show them mama loves them enough to go another round with the doctors and depression.
And I will be thankful:
243. the love and support of my hubby. He posted this comment, under my name, on my blog last Saturday–
“Right now my Honey is running a 10k. As I will not really understand her bad days and is hard for me to FIX IT because I am MR. FIX IT ya know. All I can say is I Thank the Lord for you and am in WONDER as I watch you DOWN one moment, then crawling out of the hole to run a 10k or do laundry or get yourself out of bed to start another day. Sweetheart I might not understand but thank you for telling me when you are stuggling so I can pray FOR the Lords help because HE is more powerful than any dark hole. I will listen to HIM as HE gives me what I need to support you through….. LIKE A HUG!!!! (sorry) As I said I do not understand BUT I love you and am so proud of you!!!
