Depression 1 Minute

My first blog post included a list of non-negotiables on how I cope with my depression. I thought in the interest of full transparency I should tell you how it is going.

  1. I picked up my child from school wearing pyjama bottoms more than once this week.
  2. I forgot to brush my teeth and went out repeatedly without combing my hair.
  3. I slept in my makeup 3+ times.
  4. I did NOT do laundry.
  5. I did NOT grocery shop.
  6. I did NOT prepare fabulous meals for my family.

Things I did right:

I laughed every single day.

I loved my God, my family and my friends fiercely and unashamedly in spite of the aforementioned list.

I am a 40 + Canadian gal who feels like I have lived many lives. My current life consists of raising 4 foster babies ages 4 and under. It is crazy. It is hard. And it is so very good. In my spare time (insert laugh here) I am multi certified/licensed as a fitness instructor and working on more. Mid life crisis much? I often find myself in a place where within the messy chapters of my life (Depression is part of this makeup of mine), I occasionally find my voice and feel compelled to share. This may only be because I am more extroverted than not more so than because I have something life altering to convey. I hope to openly and vulnerably share my life with a huge dose of humour and maybe a pinch of sarcasm. The underlying premise of everything I put forth is my faith which is grounded in love, hope, forgiveness, and grace.
