  mimi- I'm pulling hard for you too. I know exactly what that's like. PM me any time and I'll tell you a joke. If its not funny enough, I'll send you to mobil.
  

• woman said on Jan 10, 2009....

  You can do this Miss Mimi. I don't know how you feel about drugs for depression but I think sometimes they help, along with having someone to vent to. A friend of mine struggled and struggled, sounding very much like you UNTIL she found the right dr. and the right combination of drugs and she is like a new person. Depression isn't even on her plate anymore. It's a joy to see and I certainly wish the same for you Mimi.

• pusscat said on Jan 10, 2009....

  I'm glad you knew where to find me earlier darling.
  
  I'm gonna kick that son of a bitch bastard depression in the balls and see how he likes that!!  He's not taking you down another black hole hun, not without the fight of his friggin' life!!  
  
  My light box is still just keeping me this side of sane hun.  You gotta get one.

• Hegemone said on Jan 10, 2009....

  I loved the way you expressed yourself here, it really shines a light on what you're dealing with.  I hope that you can smack that depression away and feel much better.  I'll be thinking of you, as I'm sure you'll beat this.

• fearing said on Jan 10, 2009....

  No way around it - depression sucks.  Here with a hug and shoulder when you need it MissM.

• cuppajava said on Jan 10, 2009....

  As much as depression is something that seems un beatable,well,some say it is.I say it isnt.It all depends on your inner strength and your attitude towards yourself.If you maintain a positive out look and know that you have a support system ( uuuh,thats all of us here,by the way ) then you will make it to the other side of that bridge that you are standing on and not wanting to jump over the side.
  Stay safe

  **kicks the depression in the nads**

  I understand 100% sweetie. I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder in 2003.

• pusscat said on Jan 10, 2009....

  Tell you what meems - with all us bipolar chicks here, that depression tosser dont stand a chance - his nuts are HISTORY!!
  
  . . . just picturing what a pair of nuts look like with lil' ol' pusscat claws in 'em. . .
  

• PieterOpie said on Jan 10, 2009....

  I too am a sufferer of depression and know how you feel.  Unless you have felt the darkness envelope you and feel the earth fall away from around you, you cannot imagine the utter despair and isolating hopelessness of those periods when it strikes you.  It is as if you have not a spare ounce of energy or will to stave it off.  It feeds itself and it pulls you down.... further and further.
  
  Fighting depression varies with each case.  Some can do it with help or determination but others find the concept alien.  They cannot fathom even bothering to try.....  or to hope... or to even eat, wash or get out of bed. Life stops. 
  
  That is what it was like for me at the worst times.  I rely on my "happy pills" as I flippantly call my antidepressants.  I'd be completely crazy or dead without them. 
  Writing in here to express your feelings must be some help.  I know that sharing the gloom can help somewhat.  Just knowing that others know about your pain is some sort of relief.  However it is not always the solution or does not always go towards a lasting cure.  Reaching out for help is crucial.  I hope you have someone you can call and ask for assistance.  There is help everywhere - in the phonebook.... on the internet...  at the doctor's office.
  
  I wish you courage and strength and the willingness to get any help you may need.  You don't need to do it all on your own.  Get well real soon.   (HUG)

  Hang in there mims.....you have done this before....you can do it again.  I am thinking of you sweetie!

• quietone said on Jan 11, 2009....

  hi ya meems.......... you go girlfriend!

• CreativeWoman said on Jan 11, 2009....

  Mimi,
  I'm pulling for you too.   I have had depression and anxiety wad me up in a ball and kick me around.  I never knew how bad it was until it was gone.  My doctor prescribed me medication for it that has had a good ripple effect on my health.  As the cloud lifted, my blood sugar and blood pressure also improved. 
  
  If I might be so bold, I would suggest that if your doctor isn't helping you with the depression that you find one who will.  You are too special to suffer.

  Mimibelle......i've always admired your love for life.....you gave me another example of it........{{{hugs}}}

• MissMimi said on Jan 11, 2009....

  paperdoll, I'm so glad you commented.  Thank you, friend. 
   
  MeMy,  thank you a lot.  :)
   
  ss, my old friend (hey, online five years is a long time...),  Thank you for your encouragement.
   
  queenie, aww, thanks, kewpie.  The hug helped.
   
  beyond, thank you, and you know why.  But threatening me with mobil's jokes is just not nice.  ;)
   
  woman, I have been thinking that I need to talk to my doctor about changing my medication.  I'm so glad your friend was helped.  I wouldn't wish this on anybody.  Thank you.
   
  pc, you help, more than you know.  I'll pm you about the light box.  The full spectrum light bulbs aren't really do a thing for me.
   
  uni, i'm so glad you're cheering for me.  Thank you.  :)
   
  Hege, thank you for your kind words.  I've always thought of depression as a dark horrible place.
   
  fearless, thank you for commenting, and for your PM too.  How is married life treating you?
   
  CJ, I'm very thankful for my friends here.  Everyone showing up here is so overwhelming.  I'm humbled.  Thank you.
  
   

• MissMimi said on Jan 11, 2009....

  LucyT, aww, thanks.  If I knew how to do it, I'd give you hearts too.  :)
   
  Alyss, thank you for the hugs.  They help.
   
  Twiggy, anxiety is a bitch.  I know it well.  Gotta keep fighting.
   
  BEWELL, thanks for the good advice.  :)
   
  kitty, I hope you're kicking your bipolar's ass too.  Keep at it!
   
  pc, LOL  The Bipolar Chicks, doing battle with the evil forces of depression, ridding the world of anxiety and mania, one mind at a time...  A new generation of superheroes.  :D
   
  Opie, you obviously do know exactly what it's like.  At the very time when it's vital to reach out, it's one of the hardest things to do.  I hope you're doing much better now.
   
  Jenna, I'm hanging in.  One thing I do know, is it always gets better.  No matter how low it goes, it always takes an upturn at some point.  It's what gives me hope.
   
  Hiya, quilty.  :)  Still got that leg for me to grab on to?
   
  CDub, I'm very fortunate that I have a doctor who is very understanding and willing to help me.  It's interesting that you say that depression has a negative ripple effect on other health issues.  I've noticed that too.  Lately, I've been having an intensely passionate affair with carbs, with no desire to moderate.  But today, it's much better.  I actually ate a salad today.  ;)  :)
   
  Hey pickers, thanks!  Write some more funny stuff will you?
   
  Fallyn, it's a struggle, isn't it?  One day at a time.
   
  gingerpeach, thank you so much, that's such a nice thing to say.{{{hugs}}}
  
  

• Twylarants said on Jan 11, 2009....

  Pickers, you should do another Scrambled Name Game.  There are a lot of new people we could confuse.

• PieterOpie said on Jan 11, 2009....

  Thanks Mimi... I am doing better, thanks to medication and help.  But this isn't really about me.  I want you to be courageous and get help when you need it.  It is so very important and you just have to.  The alternative you already know. 
  
  Just do it as hard as it is.  Get some one close to help you get that help.  That sounds funny, but ask a friend to phone whoever can affect proper help for you.  If I could I would come over and do it for you.  Come on already!!!!

  Eye of the Tiger, lady... 
  
  Stick and move... 
  

• MissMimi said on Jan 12, 2009....

  Twiggy -- I'm all for creating confusion.  :D
   
  Opie -- Thank you for being concerned and supportive.  Today is a pretty good day, and that's a start.
   
  GrapeApe -- I remember that post!  Thank you for reminding me of it. It was wonderful to read again.   I'd like to think I can be a cut man for a friend in need, but sometimes I know I get so wound up in my own dark thoughts I fall down on the job. 

• GrapeKoolaid said on Jan 12, 2009....

  Mimi:  Whachutalkinbout Mimsy?  Are you kidding me?!!  You're a great cutman!  Or a cutwoman in this case.  I see you dressing wounds, icing swells, mending cuts and applying generous amounts of vaseline on bloggers with swollen eyes left and right! 
  
  Sometimes I just sit back and admire your work... 
  
  Nicely done laydee....  :D
  

• MissMimi said on Jan 12, 2009....

  Grape, you are entirely too complimentary.  :)

• GrapeKoolaid said on Jan 12, 2009....

  Nonsense.  We all have our dark days.  Heck, we wouldn't be human if we didn't have them, you know?  Sometimes the clouds cover the horizon but there's always sunshine behind those clouds.  You've reminded me of that many times.  :)
  
  I appreciate the fine work you do for the organization.  You're a valuable member of the team.  I know I don't tell you that often, but you are.  And you do. 
  
  So keep doin what you doin. 
  
  You know I'm here.  :)
  

• PieterOpie said on Jan 12, 2009....

  Keep it up!  You sound much more positive.  I'm very glad.
  
  Sometime when things seem to big for us... just take "baby steps".  A tiny bit at a time.  They add up.    All the best.
