I am creating a blog. Never thought I'd see myself doing that but after watching Julie and Julia, I became inspired in a small crazy way. See, for the past month or so, I have been sinking into a spot of depression unlike any I have ever experienced. Getting up to go to work became a challenge. Thinking about going to sleep just to do it all over again the next day was enough to reduce me to tears. I tried to tell my family about it... and realized that people are ill equiped to handle a pure confession of depression. Sad in a small way and I begin to wonder how many other people are out there in their own "pit of despair" with everyone around them continuing to act like nothing is wrong.
Ironically enough, I have had so much support from friends... not the friends who I spend time with in the real world, but the friends who I encounter in social networking. I was given virtual hugs and advice on different medicines. So yesterday I visited my old and wise doctor. He promptly gave me MORE anti-depressants on top of the ones that I am already on. The hope is that it will pull me up out of the pit and into the realm of happiness again. 4-6 weeks. That seems like forever on this side of the bridge!

Did I inspire you? LOL...welcome to your virtual therapy session. It helps to type it all out, especially if you have no one to tell your crap to...or no one who is willing to listen as is my case with my lovely husband. What a joke.
