oh wow. Don’t you just love this illness. It is so great- it can actually cause you to wake up with three strikes against you before you get out of bed!
1. Crying as you get ready for your day.
2. Suicidal thought while driving to work.
3. Belief you will never be happy or that anyone will love you.
All by 8AM!
That is three strikes!
But- you don’t have to give in to them. Fight them- read books to counter act them (Get it Done When You’re Depressed is the one I use for this).
Your goal is to reverse the strikes minute by minute- hour by hour.
And make sure you wake up with no darn strikes tomorrow!

I will try to fight them, Julie. I promise. I used to think you could do all that you do because you are so much smarter than I am. But that is a negative thought coming from stress adn depression. Maybe I will start to write a daily mood journal. Thanks for being real and for giving us hope. I really need it right now.
