A year ago this week is when things got really bad for me.

Things had been building for a while, but that week, it was like a switch was flipped and the anxiety and depression oozed over me, tainting everything I did.

A year later, all the things I feared have come to pass...and they are not so bad. We are back in a city that I was very unhappy in, and I am happy. I love my house, my friends and my kids are happy as well.

My husband is deployed. 6 months so far. It has been difficult, but not unbearable. He is coming home next month for R&R, and we can hardly wait.

I am going out by myself, but I have also found ways to go shopping with friends.

I was such a mess during the time leading up to his deployment, I am excited to show him that I am back to my old self (well, closer to my old self!)

My dad is doing much better. My grandpa is still in the hospital. Life goes on...

You'll soon be counting the days not weeks. Time passed. You have done soooo well! I hope your hubby is proud of you - you've shown amazing courage and strength. You've certainly inspired me to dig deep and keep going at times. Thank you.

Earthmama -

It's been so great to share this time with you! You're really an inspiration and a joy!

I remember when you came on to the site and your husband's deployment was looming and there was so much fear!!

Now you have done so many amazing things - like flying across the country, and putting up basketball goals, and all the daily things it takes to run a family!! And you have had the constant worry about your hubby, then your dad -- you've done an amazing job!!!

I hope that being able to write and talk and share about your anxiety has helped relieve some of the pressure!

I also hope that the thoughts and prayers of so many on here have helped you feel supported, and that you are NOT alone!!

I hope you continue to have a great week -- and of course I hope that you keep posting!!!

HUGS!!!
