Someone always has it worse.

Lately I've been depressed, That's no secret. Anyone who knows me, knows I go through withdrawn stages where I shut everyone out. Most of the time, I don't have a reason for doing so. This time I do- But it's nothing I wish to talk about. This blog isn't about me though.

I got to thinking today; a wake-up call if you will. Here I am, depressed about my situation, overwhelmed, and a little lost if I am completely honest.

I've had it worse than this. ALOT worse.
So why am I so depressed about now? It's life...

and someone always has it worse.

For example, My good friend just had a baby, happy times right?
Should be, except she has been in the NICU since birth. She hasn't been able to hold her, feed her...
anything.
I can't imagine- her daughter is fighting for her life, and here I am- weighed down by my own problems-
Which in retrospect, don't compare in the slightest.

Ladies and gents- It may have taken me a few weeks- but I realized I have been having a "woe is me" party.

Not intentionally of course- Clinical depression is a bitch.

I will beat it though- I am stronger than that.

However I ask, instead of worrying about me, that you please keep my friend's daughter in your thoughts, prayers, good vibes- whatever it is you believe- send them her way. She needs them more than anyone I know right now.
