    Never apologize for your feelings. Only to your mom. :) She's the only one who really deserves it. Depression is hard to battle. I know we only know each other on-line, but if your reach out, I am here. I speak from experience. I went at it alone and it was sooooo hard. I tried drugs (Antidepressants) and I tried church. I always felt God was with me even when I turned my back on him. And the drugs just numbed me. In the end, I still battle depression, but I no longer feel as bad as I used to. I don't know if that is called faith or hope, I just know that no matter how hard it gets, I CAN get through it. I know you can too. I get so sick of hearing from people how strong I am when I feel like a weak scared little girl. They don't really know. I know they mean well but they'll never know. Thank God. If everyone had to battle what we do...well the world would really suck. anyway, I'm here to listen. I'm in Los ANgeles, CALI. the allegedly warm climate where it is now raining. If I can do more than listen, I will. Stay strong. because you really are.

    Hi Katie!

    For me it all did come out of the blue. I felt fine, I never had pains in my joints or any other symptoms. I did have some fatigue but I just attributed it to me working full-time, taking 3 classes in grad school, and also doing an internship 20 hours a week. But I am glad that I was diagnosed quickly and didn't have to experience the long drawn out process that so many other people have had to deal with. 

    I have been feeling better, overall. I started back to work last week, only 20 hours a week. And so far I have been handling it well, I am a little tired by the end of the day, but I am also trying to fit me exercise routine in everyday as well. I just you can say I still haven't learned my limitations! 

    How are you doing? Is your rheumatalogist by chance located at the Cleveland Clinic? That is where all of my Doctors are located now! I hope all is well with you! Keep in touch!

    Hey!

    How have you been?

    I haven't been on here a lot. My dance studio just did The Nutcracker last weekend so my life was taken over by that. I can't wait until Christmas vacation.

    Hi Katie ! I am close to St.Clairsville, Ohio and 20 minutes from Wheeling, West Virginia. I am only 45 minutes from Pittsburgh, PA. That is why Biden and Palin were here for a rally. Hit 3 states at once. Ha ha. I am doing okay today other than my temporary crown on my tooth fell off at lunch. Good thing I have a dentist appointment tomm.The only bad part I will be sore for days afterwards..yikes. How are you doing?
