I love reading your blog – even though we don’t know each other… I’ve been on effexor for 3 years and it’s taken the edge off for me… reduced feelings of guilt and inadequacy. I’m a mommy to 3 little girls and I just couldn’t cope to care for them in the way I wanted to. Now I can. That’s enough for me. If I have to be on meds forever, that’s ok too. Have you had a complete blood work-up done lately? Had your iron and/or ferritin levels checked?? It’s worth a look – lack of energy and sluggishness could be related to that too.

Leah – hang in there. We love you and your precious family so much. I am waiting to hear you sing the beautiful song that you sang at our 50th wedding
anniversary party again. Also the one you sang at the festival – Aaron sang the
same song. Still a favorite. I’m sure you know which one I mean. You and
AAron sang a duet – you both, together, took a first. Right now, I cannot remember the name of the song – about two blind people. Keep up the singing – it will do you good.
Love, Gram & Gramps

Haven’t gone through the NAET with him yet. We’ll be doing it once we get medical benefits through hubby’s job. Hopefully it’ll help the autism.

I was wondering if you can give any feedback on the NAET that you were considering trying for your son?

Hey Leah,
Sorry you’re feeling this way. I agree with Beth. I feel inadequate a lot of the time too. And I too go through those extremes of wanting to do it all in one day and crashing the next. Anyway, be encouraged. I hope you do start to feel better, really better, soon.

Have you tried St. John’s Wort? It worked for a family member of mine. It’s a natural remedy that could be worth a try — especially if you’re at the end of your rope. God bless…

Hey Leah,
Hang in there. Although I don’t have clinical depression, I definitely go through the feelings of inadaquacy, frustration, guilt, lack of motivation, etc. I think all the resposibilities of kids, work, homemaking, and countless other things come crashing in on us. I know it doesn’t help where you are right now, but do know that you’re understood. If you figure out any solutions to the juggling act, let me know!
