What a though...I just came across your lovely blog! What a thought provoking and open post, thank you for your thoughts! I saw in one of your earlier posts that you are an INFJ, I'm also an INFJ - rather rare I'm told! Coming down hard on myself when I fail is something I struggle with too. <br /><br />I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better - hang in there! I've fought with depression off and on through the years, my faith in God, that He has a plan and is there with me every step of the way, and my loving family, have been instrumental in getting me back on the right track. I pray you can and have found the same peace...<br /><br />Blessings,<br />~LaurenLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791785867208216544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631410081773030959.post-81673362684346070772010-05-20T02:10:52.791-07:002010-05-20T02:10:52.791-07:00Honey - thanks so much for sharing that.

I see alot of negetivity towards the struggles people have with mental health etc in online places like facebook etc......I think if people were more aware of just how prelevant it is, and that it is largely a chemical imbalance, then maybe there would be more sympathy, compassion and understanding. I really appreciate your openness about your own journey too. Hang in there with the perfect mother thing, I dont quite know what to say because it is a daily battle for me too....I think it all boils down to realising that I cannot control everything and I need to just give it over afresh each morning :o) Letting go is hard, but ofton such a relief ! Love to you beautiful doll !

Thank you for being so honest! Mental...Hey Kesenya,<br />Thank you for being so honest! Mental health issues are still very taboo though, as you pointed out, are prevalent.<br />As a teen I suffered from depression and was even hospitalized for a while. My husband suffered from panic disorder as well and most recently my eldest son began to suffer from anxiety. Thankfully panic disorder is very easily treatable and both my husband and son are doing very well.<br />Striving to be the perfect mother is a constant battle with me as well. I have so many things on my plate (cook, clean, homeschool, exercise, write, church...)and I get so upset that I can't do everything 100%. But like you said, family support (and Gods grace) the truly important things get done.Vintage Mamahttp://www.vintagebeautyblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631410081773030959.post-24385923638891739302010-05-19T19:23:10.923-07:002010-05-19T19:23:10.923-07:00Thanks for the post - I'd agree that there are...Thanks for the post - I'd agree that there are so many people out there suffering with depression, however its nice to hear someone speak openly about it. <br /><br />Thanks xxxboldaslovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04524256063915481020noreply@blogger.com
