Today I have a IOP group this morning. One of my kids is over stimulated or something. She want stop crying and she can't tell me why. I don't understand so I'm just holding her. She loves summer boys and girls club. So my wife is coming home early to be with her. I can't so anything but pray and hold and cry with her. She is just so precious. I have it so f**ked up rn. It is a real land slide rn. I have to find the strength because I love my babies.she is 8 years old she was my premi baby if you have been following me.

I'm so sorry for both you and your daughter, and it must be so terribly frustrating to want to fix your babies when they hurt, but the sad thing ism when we just don't really know what's going on. I know I've had depression my whole life, and was just sad sometimes, and there really wasn't a reason to feel sad all the time. So in therapy, finding out more about the hormonal things, the chemical imbalance causing us to have depression helped me to understand...there doesn't have to be a reason to feel sad...you just do. Nobody can fix us, it's just learn to accept it, it doesn't define us, and know it's part of who we are physically. And to learn coping mechanisms to handle it the best we can, and most importantly, to let the people around us to know to understand that it has nothing to do with them, to not take our mood personally, and to just let us get through it and be empathetic, compassionate, and eventually hopefully have an up swing. Mine comes and goes, it's cyclical.

You are very correct. I just started my roller coaster in 2020 I believe when I first had an episode and asked for help. So I'm taking all steps to understand and get better. My children give me hope and faith in recovering. Are you doing okay yourself?

You are very kind to ask that, thank you..... I am okay.... but as you know, ...it's good days and bad days living with depression, and life can be a struggle for anyone. I've been at this healing and understanding thing for a few decades now, and it's been a bumpy ride, it still is at times... but I'm fortunate like you to have people in our lives that love us. So many don't.
