  1. I went to see my medical practioneron Friday, a scheduled appointment, but I have to admit I did not correlate the holiday season. I was overseas in a very very cold place where temperatures were 50!!! Degrees colder than I am used to. We did not have the hullabaloo of Christmas preparati ons this year, but came back home,to find much needing attention. The symptoms of depression have been so marked, even to the point of crying which is most unusual with blunted affect. My husband though is an amazing man and is so patient. Bless him. Thanks for your news letter, and crystallizing my thoughts

  2. Thank you for taking the time to visit:)

    Good morning!
    I want to let you know how much this post means to me. I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder three months ago and I can say that I hit the lowest point in my life. A place I wouldn’t wish on my enemies, After seeking help I am in a better and happier place in my life than I have been in three years. I feel energy that I never had and hope for the first time in ages. Thank you for encouraging people to seek out help. No one should settle to feeling depressed. There is hope. I hope this reaches others hearts like it did mine.

  5. I am glad to see the holidays come but much happier when they are over as they are depressing for me. #MotivationalMonday

  6. Thank you Ann-Marie for taking the time to comment:) It is not easy when you hit that low place, but seeking help is the most important thing to do. Thank you for sharing:)

  7. This is such a huge problem in our area where the winters are long & cold. There also is much to be said about us women taking on too much (adding to stress) and finding a lack of purpose in our day to day routines when they are monotonous. I have also read that they are studying the effects of social media & comparison on our overall contentment. Interesting? There are SO many varied factors that really a professional, as you recommended, should be seen if it is not lifting after a week or two. Especially if others are pointing it out to you.

    Thanks so much for sharing with us on this week’s Mom 2 Mom Link Up! Hope you can join us again 🙂

  9. I always struggle around this time and after having a really hard time this past weekend, I think I’m going to go for some individual counseling to help me find some better coping mechanisms. Thank you for posting about this; the more we talk about mental illness/stress/depression the less taboo it becomes which seems to often be half the problem 🙂

  10. Thanks for visiting Sarah, I agree the more we talk about mental illness the easier it becomes for people to seek the help they need.

  11. Great post, I struggle with depression and there is so much misinformation about it and a stigma attached so I appreciate reading posts about it. Thanks for linking up with Motivational Monday.
