It's such an up and down battle. I've actually realized lately, through talking to my counselor, that I may have had issues with low-key depression for much of my life, but never knew it. Now that I've experience how it feels to be on medication and feel NORMAL (which is unfortunately not the case right now haha), I'm like, oh, wait, I didn't feel this "normal" when I was younger. I cried a lot when alone, and I was always scrambling for something to give meaning and joy to my days. So maybe it's always been there...<br /><br /><br />who knows. :)Kara @ Just1Stephttp://www.just1step.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571128560813082732.post-4527173804214626102014-04-10T10:53:57.969-04:002014-04-10T10:53:57.969-04:00Thank you so much, Daisy!!

I appreciate your kind words - and your continued readership even when my blog is a wee bit lacking. ;) It's so fun to find out I have a reader outside the family and friends who know me in "real life," even moreso that it's someone living in another country. :)Kara @ Just1Stephttp://www.just1step.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571128560813082732.post-48817187100772196092014-04-09T23:20:45.141-04:002014-04-09T23:20:45.141-04:00Kara!

My heart was completely filled with empathy for you for all you've been experiencing. :\ And even with struggling with my own episodic depression for over a decade, I still feel at a loss for what to say exactly?! Except hold onto the hope you have found!
