Aww, that was very touching, thank you for sharing!
Depression is an ongoing battle for me, and while I am "under control" right now, it's always looming. I can definitely attest to the fact that it's not something you can really understand until you've been there. It's so much more than feeling blue or a random crying spell. It's a pit of desperate hopelessness.

I hope you are able to start running soon and feel better! {HUG}

((HUGS)), you are such a sweet person. I'm sitting here imagining what your saying as I'm reading it. I went through the a depression I had never experienced before, after having Rivkah. It truly was something I didn't understand and could not figure out how to stop. Just like you said, it allowed me to see the other side and have compassion. I've had compassion for most people, but never my own mother who struggles with it. It gave me the glimpse into her life and how depression can rule your thoughts...even your entire life.

I'm just like you, I find getting the mail exciting. It always brings a smile to my face when something comes that's not bills or junkmail.
