Our beautiful Saint Bernard Buttercup has been struggling with an old age issue. I will spare you the details, but just know that she wasn’t herself. (Can anyone relate??) After a visit to the vet, many $$$ and two amazing prescriptions, Buttercup is on top of the world. She is the sassiest 9 year old puppy (yes… PUPPY) you will ever meet. Buttercup might possibly be high … but I prefer to think she is high on life.
Medication is a life changing decision. I have seen ‘the look’ in people’s eyes and the ‘purse of the lips’ indicating displeasure at my choice. I take an antidepressant. Every. Single. Day. And it is helping. With self care in place and a supportive network of people in my life + medication, I feel a little more human.
Deuteronomy 31:8 is a favourite verse of mine. It says “The Lord HIMSELF (so COOL!) goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave you or forsake you.”
I am not alone. You are not alone. But depression sucks.
Miss Sassy pants (AKA Buttercup) made me get down on the ground and bribe her for this picture.
