    I need to learn how to scrape myself off the floor and start living again!

    • You cannot scrape yourself off the floor…without help. I will pray for you. I am hoping this program will free me of depression since it affects my life so much and for so long, even with medication. It would be much worse without medication, I am sure, but I still want it to be much less than it is. You are not alone, Meg. Remember that.

      • Thank you for your encouragement, Leigh! I am glad that there are other people who feel the same way. I have given up on medication, period. It does not seem to help me with my symptoms. I just want to reclaim my life!

    • I too suffer from the lack of motivation brought on by depression. Perhaps we can work together to help motivate each other! Want to give it a try??

      • Thank you for your encouragement, Lisa! I am willing to be your motivation partner!

        • Meg, thanks for being my motivation! Have you begun the program? I am planning to begin around the end of the month. I still need to get all my tests done. I really believe that it has been my eating that has created many of my issues: depression, fatigue, weight gain, constipation, hives and the list goes on and on!

          Talk to you soon!!

          • I have already started the program . Eating the wrong foods has always been my nemesis. Accountability is what I need to stay on track and it is good to have people around me for that purpose. WE CAN DO IT!!!

      • I too am willing to be a motivation partner. What comes around, goes around. We hold each other up, encourage each other, and ultimately engage in healthier forms of dealing with our depression. There is always safety in numbers, especially where prayer is concerned.

        • Leigh, please come and join us! We all need each other to help, as you so aptly put, to fight the good fight! Hooray for us!!

    • Meg, it’s a tough road back – but I’ll keep you in my prayers. Continue to fight the good fight. There are tons of people in your corner that are your cheerleaders!!
