Only you would think to warn someone else to take care at the top of a post like this - you are such a special person. Even when feeling so hopeless about your progress, you still have the capacity to consider how someone might feel reading what you had to say. Try to remember how amazing you are!

I hope that you are feeling better than you were on this day or that you are making sure that He knows how you are feeling.

Yes, some days I get more done (sometimes even the dishes!) but often it's all just too overwhelming. I'm doing better than I was a few months ago, but it's still a work in progress. And I agree, it's worth it in the end.

That post kind of came from expecting that dreaded question at the end of the day.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Thanks!
I'm sorry you know that feeling too. Too many do, and I wish I could just make everybody better. Knowing you're not alone helps, but it's still hard in those moments.

sounds like you accomplished more that day than i do on most days, you should be proud i would say. keeping a baby alive isn't exactly the easiest task in the world, on the contrary, it's pretty fucking hard. but totally worth it in the end.

Thank you for this amazing post. Thank you for your willingness to reach out. I am glad at the progress of this year, just wish it were oh so much more. Wish the bad days were history. Wish the meds were history. Wish the hanging on by my fingernails feeling was completely gone. But I am thrilled to have the safety net of all of you. I am sooooo thankful. It has gotten me through much!

Julie & Mirjam,

Thank you so much for your comments and kind words. I'm sorry if I scared you; I've edited to add that I'm not having that thought right now, and I've just been thinking a lot about the other night when I did. I also realised that it's been creeping up more than I wanted to admit, that there are elements of depression where I had thought it was "only" anxiety and OCD.

I agree that it's a good thing that it scared me, and that I can still focus enough that I worry how my words might affect somebody else. For me, it means that I'm still more on the OCD/anxiety side and less on the depression side.

Mirjam,
I was going to get rid of the smileys when I do my blog makeover, because it feels a bit silly, but now I'm not sure - I put that fish one there for a friend who likes the Monty Python "wet fish" skit.

You made me tear up, but then I saw the emoticon who hits with the fish and had to laugh. So I'm all over the place right now.
You're so sensitive to put a trigger warning in. I really, really get this (I'm fine), but I totally get this. But you know what, the fact that you still think about these thinks is actually a good sign. It's when you stop thinking about them, then you're in trouble.(HUGS)
