It's so true! In those moments of clarity, if we can act on it, over time those actions from clarity do indeed outweigh the fog of depression. Sommer: Thank you for sharing some of your story. It must be so hard to watch someone that you love hurt like that. I think clarity and the path to recovery can sometimes be a matter of timing. Certain things coming together in a way that allows us to heal some part of ourselves. Keep hope in your heart. Tiffany: Thanks for your comment. Your scary experience is a word of caution to all of us! Hope: Thank you for visiting and for your comments :) PsychMamma: Thanks for your kind words. YES!! Let your light shine brightly :) Roxanne: Kudo's to you both for searching and questioning. I cannot imagine it's been easy and no doubt a lot of pressure to medicate as well?

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I couldn't agree more about the taboo that surrounds mental and emotional illnesses. Unfortunately it is even stronger in some communities. My son has ADHD and Asperger's and we've long struggled with the issues of meds. He's taken them probably no more than one year total in the nine years since he was formally diagnosed. We have the same misgivings about those medicines and the real motivation of pharma companies. A phenomenal post by a phenomenal woman. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I also heard that depression and diabetes are closely linked. One (either one, makes no difference) has been found to lead to the other! So while it's a "mental illness" it also has some very real physical manifestations. Nutrition can be key as I've witnessed my dad (Type II diabetic and LONG history of depression although he'd deny it) control his diabetes through micromanaging his diet, but also a potent anti-oxidant herbal supplement that has helped balance his blood sugar. I've heard of at least two people who were completely relieved of depression through specific herbal supplements. Our society has been trained to drug themselves for every little ailment which is why we have "superbugs" today. God put so many natural remedies on this earth for us to be able to heal ourselves. Time to toss out the chemicals and return to NATURAL!! :-) Thanks for your blog. Keep it up, girlfriend! Hi Monica:
