Last night I went to Enrichment to listen to a lady talk. "Be of Good Cheer" was the topic. I have to say I enjoyed it. I was sitting in the back and I could see how people were reacting to some of the things she was saying and doing. By the time I left I was on cloud nine.
I do have to say that I agree with the things she was saying. When I had my second baby I got the baby blues very bad. I wanted nothing to do with my two little boys, or my husband. I finally went to the doctor he told me that my body was acting like I was dead. I had no reflexes and some other things. Any way they put me on meds and I just got worse. I was like a zombie.
I was living with my grandma at the time and she was taking care of my boys. I was down in the dark basement and would sleep till noon. When I would go up stairs I would sit in a chair and just stare at things. Then one day my youngest son was crying. I couldn't stop him, then my mom walked into the room and he held his hands out for her. It broke my heart. So I decided that I was taking myself off the meds and I changed myself. I often wonder why my husband stayed with me. I wanted nothing to do with him for about a year. But he loved me enough to do what ever he needed to help me. Now we have a great relationship and love being with each other.
She also talked about being negitive. I am so bad at that. My husband has worked on me for 12 years, and I am doing better. I used to get mad at something and I wouldn't let it go. It would ruin my whole day and maybe week. I was bad. Now I try to just laugh.
I do have to say that the days that I talk with my friends, or hang out with them are the best days. I feel so happy. When I look at my blog and my e-mail and one of my friends has sent me something it makes my day. I feel better when I go to water arobics or go work out with my friends. I love to talk and see how people are.
So any way I enjoyed the Enrichment meeting last night.

Heidi, I felt the same way about lastnight, it was awesome! There are so many areas in my life I am working on and trying to improve and it seems that a lot of what she said to fight depression would help in so many areas of life. She was very inspiring. And I didn't know that you had suffered from the baby blues. Thanks for sharing. I am one who is lucky enough not to have experienced that, but i hear it can be detrimental. Love ya! Have a good day!
I thought it was great last night also. I think we don't realize how valuable friendships and just being with people can be sometimes.
I am always so happy after we have a Girls Outing.
Kelly e-mailed me that entire talk, and I am so grateful! I am going to try all of those things!
