So I hope everyone is doing well. I am actually starting to do better. I switched up some of my medications which has helped a lot.
Some things I've been working on and learning is about not isolating myself. My mom is often the only person I'll talk to throughout the week and she is now on her way to Indonesia, so with that removed I am making new friendships and trying to be intentional about pursuing those women to reach out to and help each other with the loneliness of being a stay at home mom.
I've also learned that I need to pray. You'd think growing up in the church, that would be a habit I already have, but I think sometimes it becomes something taken forgranted. When I am more depressed or anxious I am constantly aware of my need for God just to get through a day. But as soon as things start to look up, I stop "looking up."
I'm just thankful God is so patient with me. Lord knows I need it. :)

Hi friend. Shoot me an email sometime. I hope you are doing well! Little Ella is beautiful!
Heather, I just found your blog through Ginger Chirgwin's and I wanted to thank you for your open and honest sharing. I have struggled with a thought disorder for years- OCD /anxiety/depression so I know a little of the torment that goes along with it so I just had to write and acknowledge how brave you are to share. It will make a difference in many people's lives I know. Thanks again cuz I feel exposed even writing that much!
