Hi girls,

Having a terrible dip at the moment that has lasted for a good two months. The depression/anxiety is just so hard to handle.  I'm just wondering if anyone else looks really pale and drained when their having a dip.  This is the longest I have been down for in the ten years of this hell. I just pray it doesn't last too much longer.  Has anyone else had dips that have lasted this long?  I just pray that this is the final run home and it will be all over soon  and my days of freedom will be back.  I think the only reason I'm hanging in is because everyone says that the better days will come again. 

Love and happy days to everyone. xxxxx

      Hi Lisa.

      I have dropped a tear reading this because I know exactly what your going through.  It"s HELL!!!!! 

      I pray my days of freedom are not far away!!! 

      This page brings me so much comfort and support as well.  The feeling of doom and crying is just so draining.  This dip has last two months and still going.  I have never been down this long before. So hard to hide it when it lasts this long.  I hate people knowing when I'm unwell. 

      I start back tutoring this week and it's going to be so hard. I actually feel like I'm going to have to throw my job in.  This saddens me so much becuase I absolutely love my job.  I keep holding on because the dip may lift this week and i'll get another good run for a little while. I try to accept, float with it and let it pass but at the moment that is very hard to do. 

      Hang in there Lisa like all of us and that magic corner won't be far away.

      I'm sick of going around in circles!!!!  I'm going to keep my eye out for that magic corner and once I'm around the corner I'm never looking back. 

      Cheers Lisa

    I have had a terrible time with my anxieties and depression for the last month. There are time I don't have to energy to do stuff and there are time my face looks pale and a little puffy because of my thyroid. This weekend I have some energy in me 

    In a way it feels like things are starting to slow down a little bit at a time. It will get better maybe you just need to take time for yourself talk to a therapist think about happy stuff know that you are going to be fine because the Lord is with you and we Sladies are strong we can handle anything that comes our way. Think about this, it is meant for ladies to have children because our bodies can handle it and mens bodies can't. If we can handle that then yes we can handle this menopause we are strong .

    Keep your faith up Raelene you will be fine hugs and love to yourazzand a smilely face.
