Coming out of a slump
Alright, enough already. I’m sick of being depressed. I went through a time of depression in my early 20’s that lasted over a year. I REFUSE to go back there. It led to anorexia and though I would love to be thin….that is NOT the way to go! At that time in my life, I was 125 lbs. May not sound too thin to you but when you consider that I’m 5′11″ I can now say that I was too thin. Anyway, I have two children and a husband to think about and I am NOT going to let this beat me!! I have too many things giong for me to let it.
God is with me now and I didn’t know Him when I had my problems in the past. Also, I have a wonderful husband who loves me and has faithfully been by my side for nearly 10 years, through thick and thin, literally. And as I said, I have two gorgeous children who need me very much. That means I don’t have time to go through the same thing again. So, I’m banning depression from my life!! Yeah, I know we all have our down days but this has been going on for over a week and I’m sick of it.
So, I’m looking for that silver lining today and it showed up on my scales. Down 2 pounds! And I actually expected to be up a couple of pounds as I wasn’t exactly “good” this week. Well, that kicked me off into a positive direction. I’ve also gotten a lot of support here from my buddies, Jaguars and Wildcats alike. Thank you ladies. You’ll never know what you’ve done for me.
I can actually say that I’m looking forward to weigh in tomorrow!!
GO JAGUARS!!!
We need this win ladies!! But, if we don’t get it, that means we have to work all the harder next week. Hope everybody loses lots!!
Hang in there Cindy
Remember… Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places…
you have the power to fight this depression and get back the life God wants for you. He has blessed you and continues to bless you, and darnittoheckandback, the devil ain’t allowed to mess with it! So you can do this, keep up the good faith, we are here for you
It is quite the struggle, but i know that God will never give us something that we can not handle and we can handle this
We are stronger and more powerful with God by our side, then any dark force that tells us otherwise!
It can be a slow process, but the end reward is so sweet, that when we are doing the happy dance, God is beaming from cheek to cheek! He knows we can make through this, after all, we have Him on our side, with Him there, let them try and bring us down!
You go girl! you can do this!!
hang in there!
I feel your pain, I too go through this day to day. Some days I am on cloud nine and others I have this huge cloud above me that wont leave. No reason really to blame just the normal stress, money thing. I call them my Bipolar days. Anyway, I am glad that you got a pick me up today on the scale, that always helps. I hope you are able to keep your chin up and stay positive. From one nurse to another, we always are very good at taking care of others and forget to take care of ourselfs. Take care of yourself, you are what really matters.
I have bipolar so I know how you feel. I have decided that I have to chose to let it take over my life or not. And I am not!!!!!! You are doing great Cindy. You are a wonderful person. Have a great day and smile you deserve it!!!!!!!!
