I’m glad you shared this…I’ve been wondering about your podcast and where it disappeared to, but always glad to see your little posts on Facebook.

I’ve been dealing with severe depression for some months now. I’m not glad to hear about your troubles, but I am glad to know I’m not alone. I often feel like I’m the only one wandering through the dark, trying to find the light.

My two girls seem to be what keep me afloat day by day and as one will be graduating from high school this year, it leaves me wondering what will become of my life when they’re gone. I know I need to make some changes in my life but I’m at a loss as to where I want to go or do in the future….not to mention the fact that resources aren’t readily available.

Anyway, I’m still here….listening…and waiting patiently.

Take your time. You have our patience. And, I expect, our ears if you need them. Quite a few of us, anyway. If you need to talk and are worried about your listeners’ reactions, maybe you’d feel good putting a disclaimer at the beginning :) It would just be like warning those who are only interested in the stories about the podcasts about knitting and fibers. Anyone who didn’t feel up to listening could wait for the next one and the rest of us would still be here.

It’s done me a lot of good getting things off my chest online before. If you feel the need, it can sometimes be very helpful.

Hi Autumn Breeze…….I have listened to your podcast and look forward to it and your little stories, ever since I discovered it.
I’m so sorry to hear of your unfortunate situation right now. Keep the faith, don’t discourage, the fact that you talk and inform us is a good sign that you have strength to overcome your depression.
Let others help, I can hear your despair in your voice and I assure you that you will get better because it sounds to me like you have so much strength inside of you. Loss is never a good thing, abuse is not a good thing and it is a part of our world that we cannot deny. There is so much suffering, so be strong, keep a normal routine, talk, talk, talk it out with whoever you are comfortable with. I wish you so much success with this, I hope you can find a fill in for the loss of your little loved one. I know you love animals.
Take care, keep talking to us until we hear that sparkle in your voice once more.
Sincerely,
A dedicated listener
