Subject: [QUAD-L] i'm so depressed i
could throw up
What to say anymore about being depressed about stuff that
doesn't
seemed to help with your self asteam or your mind for that matter.
We
as Quads or Para's have to set standards for the people that are
walking
as we were at one time, that we are the toughest minded, spirited,
let
alone craziest people God ever chose for us to Live our Lives sitting
down
and having help people have a job helping us Live. We are Blessed
that
we not only survived our ordeal of each of our accidents we had, but
we
help Doctor's have money with our UTI's we have, Pharmicists who
can
fill more subscriptions we need for our muscle spazms and all
other
medications we may need. Heck we are the Strongest People known
to Mankind who not only can go as fast as 5 m.p.h. in our chairs
and
actually run the walking people into the ground before our chairs
run
out of power as long as we have them gassed up before we go up
against one them. "LOL" Depression or being depressed is a part
of
every living soul here on Earth. Beating it before it gets to you so
badly
is very hard to do and I have no clue to what to tell others "how to
beat
it". The first two years of my disability was the hardest time, crying
most
the time watching others on the news having their troubles hurt me.
I
was giving a choice either stop or I can't be taking care of you and
that
came from my Mothers Mouth. Talking about feeling worse about my
own Mother telling me that "I'm gonna have to give it up if you keep
up",
I just felt terrible that I was hurting Her as well as hurting myself
inside.
Let Depression in the front door but then give it awhile to try and
take over
your Life then, give yourself a big ole muscle spazm and give it a
swift
kick out the window.
