Marilyn43 - it takes courage to open up like you did and you deserve so much credit for that. So many of us have suffered from depression - but because the scars usually aren't visible to others - no one knows but those closest to us. Having been in that place - and spent time many years ago on the ward where there are no shoe laces or belts allowed - I can appreciate what you are saying. It is always out there - and something you have to be mindful of so that it doesn't sneak up on you. The battle goes on.
People laugh when i say i quilt / craft for "therapy".....but it is entirely true. I work from home - and also watch my
DGD here every day - so this board is my place to come to learn, to share and for fun and "conversation".
We are not victims - we are SURVIVORS - and i'm happy for each and every one of us !!
