Her husband died when my mom was 13 years old, and she had to work plus be wonder woman at home.. and she always took the time to watch the Price is Right! haha. I don't know if depression is in my family background because my mom was adopted and my father is not in my life, so I will never really know. I think depression is diagnosed too easily these days.. there's a difference between suffering from severe depression and just getting the blues once in awhile. Everyone feels down sometimes but for most people, I don't think it lasts or affects their life as much as it does mine or anyone else suffering from major depression.

I wonder is depression hereditary or environmental. It seems depression goes back several generations in my family. And why does it seem like EVERYone we know suffers from it in one form or another now but back in the 50's, 60's or so women did a lot more amd were happier. Ex: My grandmother cooked 3 huge meals a day for at least 9 people, helped in the fields, kept her house spotless, always had a knitting or crochet project going,and I remember her watching Price is Right everyday! Ok so seriously, was that an era of superwpmen? Were they depressed and still functioned like that? I'm thinking about talking to women of that generaton and just asking how did they do all that. Keep us updated on your journey to find your answers. Its very encouraging to hear how someone else is dealing with depression. Thanks also for your honesty.

I could have seriously written this post except I don't eat for comfort, I have to fight not eating because I want to be able to control something. Weight gain or loss can really be a side effect from depression. It depends on where you get your comfort. I also freeze up during moments of confrontation. It drives my husband crazy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515387540144673337noreply@blogger.com
