I just have had one helluva case of the blues for what seems like forever now… no particular reason why- I mean, you’d think everything’d be just ducky, ya know? But it’s even gotten to the point where I’m considering counseling, medication, or maybe both. Dunno yet. I still have the support of a great church and my family, but part of this depression deal makes me withdraw even more from everyone who seems oh-so-willing to help. Guess that’s the bad part of being off dope for a few years: you actually have to FEEL stuff! Anyway, I’ve decided to make a conscious effort to start maintaining Soul Doubt again, using that as an outlet for all this junk in my head, and checking in here again. I swear, my computer keyboard has even gotten dusty! Yes, dusty!”/Kendramama. Full post under Wild Card here.

Oh dear Kendra, you have so much going for you. I often use my web site as a dumping place for my feelings. I feel so much better after the dump. So I urge you to continue writing. And I also urge you to go to the doctor for some medication to help you deal with life. Sometimes life really sucks. I met my low when I found out my daughter had AIDS. I just wanted to leave and go somewhere far away so no one could find me. Finally I went to my family doctor for help. Now I take a pill once a day and boy does it help. So PLEASE, seek some help. And please keep writing.
