Re: newbie with depression

Lois said it beautifully, and I agree whole heartedly.

When I first got ill, I needed to mourn my 'old self' so I could move on and

accept my new chronically ill self. There are still days when I miss things I

used to do but those days are now far and few. My old activities have been

replaced by different, positive activities that agree better with me now.

Please know we do understand and we are here for you. You are stronger than you

realize.

Thinking of you.
