Hi, yesterday was my first time in the forum and I had said that I was having a problem with my daughters because of trouble that was caused by my sister.
Well, as much as that has been such a serious and damaging problem. What I did not mention is how severe the depression has been for me, I have had depression for many years. I now do cognitive therapy and I practice cognitive approach to my daily life. I also do mindful meditation, I run five miles every day and I do yoga. The problem this time, I felt so lost I have not felt this bad in years. My depression got so bad because I felt as though I could not do anything and my daughters stopped talking to me for over 6 weeks. I am finally coming out of that episode but I lost all of my strength and happiness through it. I had stopped running and yoga, mindful meditation and cognitive thinking. I stopped going out of the house and I have to say, I started drinking. My daughters and I are mending now. We are joking and laughing more than we have in a long time, mainly because I found my laugh again. I stopped the drinking and I am back taking all of the right steps again but I am so tired of not being able to cope with stress.
That is about all I have for right now.
Thank you for listening
