Deep took everything I was going to say...except I wasn't going to credit the author. Just kidding matie!

Christiee, I've had it said to me so often that, "God never gives you more than you can handle". I don't buy into this, not for a minute, I think He/She gives us more than we can handle all the time. It's how we choose to deal with it that really counts. I'm a big believer in taking baby steps and the one day at a time theory. It's hard for most people with depression or not, that when they look at the problems in their life to not look at the big picture. And when you do that, it can't help but feel overwhelming. But when you take these problems, break them down into their pieces, they seem a little easier to take. Then take one problem at a time, do what you need to do to make them as manageable as possible, and work them thru. One by one these things become stuff you don't have to focus so much energy on and can spend more time taking care of you.

I know how overwhelmed you feel, I've been there. But take all issues in your life and deal with them a little at a time and I believe you'll get to where you need to be. It won't be easy but it'll be worth the effort. Again, take good care of you.

Be well Christiee,
