I wish that I could give each of you a big hug.

Dawn,
I won't even pretend to know what you have gone through - but I am glad you have resolved most of it and are no longer in the deep pit of depression. It takes an incredibly strong willed person to have faced all you have, and come through it with a positive attitude.

Keep smiling, keep losing weight as I know it will help your confidence even more. You are doing something for you now and you well deserve the success.

Thank you SO much for your story!! It gives me courage to know that if you can go through all that and control your depression, then I should defintely be able to.

You are such a strong person and I pray that you get your two youngest boys back. *hugs*

I'm on meds and am currently attending counseling and am trying to deal with my childhood abuse and family issues. It's very hard, but seeing other people going through what I have and more it gives me hope that maybe I can climb out of this too. I'm sick of past holding me back and I know it affects the relationship between me and my fiance.

It really helps me and others I'm sure that you've posted this. Thank you!!
