I am having real difficulty understanding how an independant woman who raised 2 daughters by herself, worked at a stressful job, battled with alcoholism and depression and survived can turn into this thing which just takes up room in this universe. How can this happen?
Is there really a way out???
Shadows are not real, they are just a reflection, a reflection of what, who???

Why is it that depression can take and keep taking? I too had the world by the b***s and now it is all gone. What can we really do to get it back, ourselves back? I so want to be part of living again. Hugs for your day.
Thanks for this!
