And although it is not completely in my control, I do fight to keep control of what I can. IT's so interesting how words can have different connotations, huh?

If you haven't seen it, it is certainly worth the time to watch it...<br /><br />One thing that has helped me is to stop using the term "fight" depression. To me that feels like I am fighting with myself. It also makes it sound like it can be cured. I guess for some people it can. But, for so many of us it is something we live everyday. My dad has diabetes and honestly I see so many parallels. Checking in on how I am doing everyday, eating right, exercise etc... basically changing my lifestyle to recognize this is my life. <br /><br />Shifting my view has made a huge difference to me. <br /><br />I agree with Patty that your blog shows lots of courage.
