My story about feeling down

megz · 02-28-2006, 02:03 PM

I just read someone's thread on here, about feeling depressed and sad, and just down in the dumps....

Hey, we have been there, haven't we folks? Most of you know, that my hubby was in Iraq, so now I pretty much compare any of my own life obstacles to that moment in my life, and nothing really can even come close to that depression or funk.

Also, I see a lot of very unfortunate things on my job. Sick and elderly people that seem to have been forgotten by society, SIDS babies, drug addicts, sick and ill homeless people, domestic abuse (everybody sing!-joke)...

I thank god that each and everyday I come home from work, that I actually got to come home from work without getting assulted, shot at, stabbed, or my biggest fear a deadly accident in my ambulance (of which I have been involved in two big accidents and one minor one-this is the scariest of all of them)

And I take it all into perspective when thinking of my own life....

I get to come home to an actual HOUSE that isn't falling to the ground, I get to have the unconditional love of my family that sticks by my side in good times and bad, I have my health and the ability to make my own decisions when it comes to it, I can cry and know that it will pass, and I can seek comfort in coming to this board AND KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE GOING THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS WITH THIS WOL TOO, AND I'M NOT ALONE....

Have a good cry, let it out, feel sad and let it all out, because it's ok to be human. I feel that we are given "sad" days to make the "happy" ones that much more....

I was, hell, probably still am, clinically depressed (gee I wonder why-refer to the top of the post), but I'm going to kick some butt in life one way or another! Just thought I'd share with you gals/guys....

NOW LET'S KICK SOME BOOTY!!!!
