It's certainly made me take stock of not looking through people but being intentional in my interactions with those around me. Thanks for your vulnerability in sharing your personal experiences with me - relationships grow when we are able to be vulnerable.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02214787682053856588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032680752522787900.post-30540484853515641602008-09-15T11:14:00.000-07:002008-09-15T11:14:00.000-07:00When I first started reading this, I was very surp...When I first started reading this, I was very surprised. And I am still surprised sometimes. Because I had no idea how awful your disease is. I have never seen you look sick or act sick, I had only heard it referred to. It's true, you look normal, your family is beautiful and well adjusted, your house is immaculate, etc. Nobody would know unless they were told or witnessed it.<BR/><BR/>I suffer from severe depression. But not very many people know that, and almost nobody sees it. I take medication and when I leave the house nobody would know. The physical evidence is the messy house, the laundry that is never folded, my ability to sleep an entire day away, Avery's questions about why I don't play with her enough, etc.<BR/><BR/>What I learned from you is: I think it is important that we don't hide or be embarrassed of ourselves, that we educate people. The more people know the more comfortable they are with it and the more they can either help us or other people in their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032680752522787900.post-73840119410161220442008-09-12T17:02:00.000-07:002008-09-12T17:02:00.000-07:00First of all I want to say "thank you" for sharing...First of all I want to say "thank you" for sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings with all of us who faithfully read your blog. You are an amazingly courageous person, even if you don't feel like you are on most days. You are an inspiration to many. I am glad that you are able to share your frustrations...I think we all need to be a little more sensitive in life. While I have never suffered pain like you have, I did go through similar frustrations after our twins were born at just 26 weeks. I was annoyed when people came up to me and congratulated me on their birth...when all I wanted was someone to say "I'm sorry they are so sick and fighting for their lives". I continue to pray for your health and think about you often.Marsaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004554349567271016noreply@blogger.com
