A note to my family and friends; this is a journal of my battle with depression. It is raw, it is real, and it may be hard to read at times. But this is all a part of my healing. It is powerful and therapeutic to have an outlet, and if God can use my heartbreak and struggles, how worth it this will be! If you feel led to walk this journey with me, please do. But please don't pick apart what I have said in the midst of a dark day, and use it against me. This is intended to be a source of processing the dark, while seeking the Light. If you are able to understand that, please join me on this journey back to health. Also note that I have no desire to hurt myself. My truest desire is to simply feel better.

Feeling like Carly again

Happy List continued
56. I was able to go to my mom group yesterday.
57. The women at my group were sincerely happy to see me. I received several hugs and lots of encouragement.
58. My wonderful friend Sara brought me flowers, fruit, a Bible study on Joy, and a Laughter book in a beautiful basket yesterday.
59. My delightful mentor mom Dona brought us a delicious roast dinner and the most beautiful bouquet of spring flowers.
60. My house smells like flowers:)
61. My hubby, daughter and I had so much fun laughing together last night.
62. I had a really nice time with my dad today.
63. The weather was absolutely perfect today.
64. I have not had too much memory loss from my ECT treatments.
65. The dishes are done:)
66. Nate bought me my favorite ice cream. Yummy to my tummy.
67. My Jenny-Dog is the best cuddle dog ever!
68. I get to spend quality time with my extended family this weekend.

The last two days have been pretty good. I really enjoyed going to Mom 2 Moms (my mommy group). I have not been able to go for several weeks because my ECT treatments have been scheduled at the same time as the group. It was nice to hear about how I was missed. It was wonderful to see everyone again and to get lots of hugs. It was great to feel like Carly instead of depressed Carly for a period of time even though it was brief.
