Inspirational maybe?

[Mandimoo]

I have a friend, she's 23, a lawyer (she works in civil law), married, in her 2nd owned home, perfect size 12....DDcups....the sort of girl that makes you sick with envy.


At her house, tonight, she told a group of us that she has been suffering with depression for nearly a year (none of us noticed), and has been on meds for a month. Signed off work, stress is keeping it active. Her sister is getting married, she went from degree to husband, to job, to house, to a serious shoulder injury, to another house. now she is studying day and night as well as working, nursing her shoulder, trying to be a housewife and struggling with depression....and making 4hr roundtrips every saturday for dress fittings.

someone who has suffered in the past was there, she said..
"This is not permanent. You can get better. It's like a broken arm, a bit of a nuisance, but it's there. like chickenpox, or the measels, it's an illness, you can't help it, but you've got it. but it will get better."

that came from a 60yr old lady, lost her husband to gambling, her 16yr old granddaughter has just been given a few months to live and has battled cancer all her life, she lost her job as a teacher due to stress...but she's come through it. her husband left her with nothing, but she's built herself back up, it shows it can be done.
