I am crying as I read your journaling. So many of us suffer with depression, and many more could not begin to understand what we go through. Thank you for being so honest!

I am honored that you could share such from the heart feelings with all of us. I know that depression is a difficult burden. I help people all the time with it. I hope that you might reach out and get some support. I will keep you in my prayers.
This brought tears to my eyes! What beautiful and touching and powerful journaling. I hope you don't mind getting hugs from strangers: {{{hugs}}}
(and great lo btw)
This is incredible! First, I love the kit and the design of the page. Second, I love the journaling. Thanks for sharing such intimate thoughts with us. Your descendants will find comfort in knowing that their ancestor struggled with the same things they go thru.

The jounaling reads: What I see..
when I look in the mirror isn't the same thing other people see when they look at me. Some will see an outgoing, intelligent, confident woman. Others will see a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, a granddaughter, a friend, a teacher, and a follower of Jesus Christ. However, when I look in the mirror, I don’t always like who I see. I see a very angry and hurting woman. I see a woman who struggles daily with her depression, and most days finds it very hard to just get out of bed. I see a woman who daily struggles with her appearance, who no longer finds herself attractive. I know that these feelings can be downright scary to some people. I should know they terrify me most days. I constantly feel like I am on the verge of crying. I know that in the eyes of My Savior, I am a new creation. I am beautiful in His eyes. I just wish I could see through their eyes just once and then I can see what they see when they look at me, instead of what I see.
