Hello my friends.  It is good to talk to you again.  The emotional roller coater I found myself on last week has come to a stop.  My depression is stabilized.  I feel better and I'm able to think clearly. A few things happened this week that led me to my present mental stability.  First I prayed.  I usually find myself praying for others, giving details regarding their needs and desires.  Asking God to bless them with the patience, strength and understanding to face their problems.  But, this week I took sometime to pray for myself about my need to understand clearly my current situation and problems.  I asked God to lead me, guide me.  Help me to ponder this challenge and to be able to plan a course  of action.  I know that action should follow prayer to receive the blessings of a solution to my needs and desires.  I know that faith in God will give me the comfort to know that He will reveal the actions I must take to find a solution to my problems.  He has answered my prayers.  I now know what I must do.

 
The second thing that happened this week is that I received support from my family.  I was told that I could and should depend on them to help me through this crisis.  They expressed their love for me and their desire to be of service to me.
 
The third thing that happened this week was unexpected and it brought great comfort to me.  A dear friend read my blog and immediately sent it to my case manager.  As you know, I was late sending my blog last week, but I promised to send it on Monday night.  Tuesday morning it was received by my case manager who requested a one-on-one with me.  She reviewed the blog with me and helped me to plan a course of action.  Some short and long term goals.  She encouraged me to take one day at a time.  Telling me that I had great strenght as a women and with the support of my family and friends I would be able to handle anything.
 
I am so grateful for my family and friends.  I am also grateful for you the reader.  I appreciate all your thoughts, prayers and actions.  I know that with your support I will be fine.
