Happy Turkey Day

Hello,

I'm at my sisters for turkey day, Julie did something really funny. Instead of punching a hole in the bag to get the juice out, she decided, well, not sure what she decided but the turkey fell and the juice went all over. Aunt Kathy, Michelle and I were laughing so hard and Julie was trying not to laugh. It was hilarious!!

Anyway, I'm doing pretty good, just got over a kidney infection. Those really suck.

The groups I go to are doing a ton of good for me. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one out there that suffers from depression. The people are great, the therapists are great. You get close to every one because you're with them 8 hours a day talking about intense stuff. I've made a couple of friends that I will talk to outside of the group.

I hope every one is having a good day.

Will update when I can.

Lot's of love
Dawn

Hello

I've been with out the internet for a couple of weeks, that's why I haven't been posting.

I'm doing okay, I'm taking steps to help myself get over my depression, I've admitted myself to a partial hospitalization program, yesterday was my first day, it was really hard and it's going to be really, emotionally exhausting but in the end it will help, it's j ust going to take a while, once my depression has reached a managable level, I can then go back to the grief center and work on my grieving. I know you're all probably thinking, isn't depression part of grief? It is, yes, but my depression is severe and with me having bipolar it only intensifies the depression. But at least I'm willing to do it, I finally figured out that I care about my self, if I didn't I wouldn't be doing this.

Thanks for caring, I appreciate it, I really feel alone in all of this.
