I've been gone, I'm trying to get back

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen...I have missed you all, and I still feel very "outside", but I'm trying to get back "in"!!  Since February I have been struggling w/ some major depression and anxiety issues, we're still working on them, but I want to apologize to 3 groups of people I feel I've really let down.  The precious A2 Support Group, the wonderful Downriver Support Group, and to my MI board friends and co-horts in crime.  Please don't give up on me...I've been through this many times, I will make my way back, I have love and support here at home and lots of people praying for me.  I love you all & I'm going to start checking in again...get my feet wet, so to speak. lizzie b 

lizzie, sorry to hear you are struggling. depression can be so difficult.  i have struggled with it for years. keep fighting it and going forward! teri

I miss you Lizzie!! Were wondering about you at last suport group.please come to the next one!!  Take care and feel free to email me anytime!! Don't be a stranger Shannon

(((((((((((Lizzie))))))))))))) I am so sorry to hear you are battling with that ugly depression monster... I know how debilitating it can be.  Try and stay strong and remember where your support is at.  Don't turn away from those that love you and can help you through such a difficult time.  It can be such a rough thing to go though, I battle it myself frequently.  Make sure you communicate with your doctors, family and friends so that you don't go "over the edge".  I have been there one too many times and I know it is no picnic.  I will keep you in my prayers and I hope you pull through this soon.  We are all here for you..... HUGS!!!

OH... I forgot to mention, don't ever feel you need to apologize for something that is beyond your control..... You will get through this and there is no need to apologize for having an illness.... Take care sweetie and I hope to see you at the next A2 meeting....

Hi Lizzie!  we are just glad you are back....we kept your seat warm..........KP wanted us to keep his seat warm, but I told him it wasnt that seat!  grin.  Seriously--we are all here for you ......depression is part of the journey for many of us.......it is an illness not a choice........we are here for you..........hug rae
