regarding "spring cleaning"

It is really starting to play out like a popularity contest.

In my situation, i didn't post for so long because I was seriously depressed for awhile last year. So depressed about stuff that I couldn't bring myself to keep up on journals. I missed out on entire pregnancies due to my inability to be happy for others because I felt so hurt inside that

omg, amen sister. You said everything I wanted to much more eloquently than I was able to!

(((hugs)))to you for everything you went through. I know how coming on here and seeing all these tidy, perfect little lives can be depressing when you're stuck in a rut or going through struggles. Of course, no one here in reality has that tidy, perfect life, but sometimes it feels like it!

You are so spot-on! The thing is, I sooo know better when it comes to appearances. I know well enough that usually what appears to be the most perfect and unattainable is usually what is hiding/hurting/suffering the most for whatever reason.
