Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />elizamatt - That experience must have been devastating. Even though you may not be naturally prone to depression, sometimes depression can indeed happen because of things that happen in your life. It's called Situational Depression and it is real. I've been through that kind of Depression and it is just as serious as chemical depression. I sincerely wish you all the best in your journey of healing.A GAL NEEDS...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14134711904453411100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-58648279011788812932019-09-02T09:43:40.310-06:002019-09-02T09:43:40.310-06:00I'm lucky that I haven't really ever suffe...I'm lucky that I haven't really ever suffered from depression, there was a time when living in a foreign country and my then husband took up with another woman that I was desperate, sad. However I was also angry that he would do this and leave me and his 7 kids. I think being angry helped me and I do despise this man, who later cheated me out of money owed to me for medical bills for his son. I just think of him as a poor human being who no longer even deserve the classification of being human.elizamatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088099346157817009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-37507734476481531572019-08-28T20:19:15.430-06:002019-08-28T20:19:15.430-06:00I have relatives that remind me of your uncle.

But it was sometimes hard to convince others of that if he was talking about things that obsessed him. We definitely need to educate people about mental illnesses.Tamra Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038480327082046102noreply@blogger.com
