Getting better.......yay!

Firstly I would like to thank everyone who sent me notes and wishes......what a super 'heart-warming' bunch you are.
BIG 'sssss

I am going to talk a little about depression because I did get some messages which made it very clear to me that some people do still do NOT understand the 'nature' of this sickness.

Depression is the lack of one or two chemicals in the brain.
It is a debilitating disease and causes one to become almost paralysed as far as talking to people, going out and wanting to do anything.
My younger life (especially in my teens) I had no idea what the problem was with me (depression then was not understood as it is today). Most of the time I could be OK then suddenly wonder what was happening. I was in Boarding School and this made it so much worse.  I was told to 'chivvy up'....'get over it' threatened with detention etc. NO kind words..nothing.  I could not explain that these things weren't possible.
I took 2 overdoses and ended up in Hospital twice having my stomach pumped.....still no-one realised my problem.
When I finally was told by a Doctor I may have depression I was shocked.
Tested, talked to by all manner of Doctors I was finally put on Medication and told that I was Bordeline Manic Depressive.
Taking my pills changed my life and I am only here today because of them.
Luckily I have a very supportive husband who understands that this is a sickness that happens occasionally now and allows me to slowly get better, while doing everything I just cannot do.
Nuf said.

I am still trying to have my Camera fixed......it seems the humidity in Sri Lanka has caused a build up of moisture and dirt inside!!!!!
OH well.

with me and lots of 'ss
