  2. Focus on taking care of yourself right now. You need to do that once in awhile, and not just take care of those around you! You have a very generous heart, now turn it towards yourself 🙂 We’ll be rooting for ya 🙂

  4. I hope it’s at least some small comfort that you’re not alone. *hugs* I’ve dealt with this for quite a few years of my short life and that familiar darkness has been creeping back in for me lately too. But look at this — look at all the people pulling for you, loving all over you. That’s the great thing, the people who love you no matter what — and whether you want ’em to or not! One step at a time, luv. You don’t need to do any more than that.

  6. If there was one thing I could do with my life before I die – if there was one thing I could do for people – I would like to figure out where Depression comes from and stop it dead in its tracks. I read about 100 different women’s blogs, mostly Bloggers who are Mothers. I see more angst and Depression in a month than a psychiatrist will see in a year. More than anything I wish I could help. Casey, if I thought it would help I’d be in Indy before you could turn around and say “Help Me!” If for no other reason than to give you a HUG – and let you know it’s okay.

  9. Casey –
    I too am going through a difficult time. I went to the doctor last week and found out some interesting information on some of the medicines that help with this sort of thing.

    I hate to post this in comments so, if you are interested, please feel free to contact me personally and I’ll share what I learned.

    I’m also on google chat.

    1. @Corey,

      I thought the exact same thing. You have put into words the raw blackness that surrounds anxiety and depression. I would give anything to be the person to pull back the curtains and let in the light. Please just watch for the light through the blinds. Keep focused on it and it will get brighter again.

  18. Only anyone who has ever experienced anx/dep could really know what you’re going through. Only anyone who has ever experienced it can also tell you that it might help to know that you are not alone in this battle. And that somehow, you will come out the other side of this.

  19. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this. But just by getting onto your blog, and stating, matter-of-factly that this is happening? Is a pretty wonderful thing. It makes ME feel less alone, and more normal. Thank you.

  24. Much love to you. Having been there, I know the black hole that sucks it all in. People will be here no matter what. I hope that you can find your way back to the light soon. Thinking of you.

  26. I call it falling off the cliff. I’ve very recently learned that it’s a chronic disease that I need to manage just like a diabetic manages their insulin level. I haven’t completely figured out how yet, but at least I finally know which monster I need to fight. I emailed you to say more.

    If you manage to get out of bed today, call it a victory and pat yourself on the back. If you manage to wash some underwear for everyone and feed the moosh a PBJ, give yourself a high five. If you get the basics done, call it good.

    You can do it, Casey. We all know you can.

  33. I’m checking here as often as I check Facebook. Hoping to see an update. Praying you’ll post a word or two saying you’re coming out of the pit.

    How strange is it that I thought of The Princess Bride and the Pit of Despair and the ROUS’s? Maybe my stupidity and the weird links and connections that my brain makes will make you smile – just a little.

    Hang tough.

  34. Casey, I just want to fly where you are and give you the biggest hug in the whole world. It’s so hard, I know it is. No apologies necessary, not ever. You are an amazing person, and I hope that your journey out of this darkness is short and soon you’re in the light again. (HUGS)

  39. The problem with you being awesome is that when you’re not feeling awesome, everyone still thinks you’re awesome, because you still are. So, not a problem really, just a side effect of being awesome. Keep being awesome.
