It happens to all of us for various reasons, (just check my post)

Been there and am so glad I now know that there is nothing wrong in asking for hugs, help, hot coffee, whatever.

I find it interesting that you left talking to a professional off your list.

Thanks for being there for Karen, its not hard to see at all that you’ve already helped her a great deal.

And your completely right. To be 100% sane and perfect is not normal, everyone has that crazy gene.

This has to be one of the best post I have ever read.

It is so wonderful the community of online friends who are supporting each other.

As for the OTHERS, well, obviously they are incapable of being a real friend.

I love Karen to pieces, even if I have never met her and probably never will. And I’m glad you are there to help her through this.

For that, Thank you.

I thought that I was the only one who felt that way. Thanks Queen for making it a “real” problem for more than just myself. It’s always nice to know that there are people out there who are going through something similar to you.

I’m the mother of a teenager, but I can very much relate. With all that is going on, there are many days I wish I could just stay in my bed for a week, but yet I get up and go on anyway. Some days are good, others suck

I am feeling detached too. I have a few friends but don’t want to call them. What is it? I am checking my thyroid and hope I have a problem because I want to get out of this funk…

came here from Karen’t blog …. this is a great post!!! somehow seeing your opening statement caught me off guard. I sure as heck don’t think of myself as stable. I know others whoa ren’t. but somehow in my head I had this picture that there ARE a bunch out there who are stable, who are ok, who have Got Things Right. you’re right though, thank you.

Right on.

Crazy seems to be the talk of the day. Last night I broke down crying and couldn’t even tell my husband why I was crying, because even I wasn’t entirely sure. I’ve been feeling isolated and cut off from everyone, too. Some of it may be pregnancy depression, some of it may be due to having too much to do.

I agree we need to give our support to our fellow women and let them know they’re not alone. And we need to find our own inner strength to not let ourselves fall into these dark places.
