Natalee - You are the FIRST follower of THIS blog. I know you found this one through the contests on my others, but you thought enough of my dribble to follow it. What a sweetie. Now I have to give you a prize. I have your email address so we'll talk. I am just catching up, but I see your comments on my other blog about 9/11.
I am sorry for the loss of your friend. The shear number of lives lost during those dark days was overwhelming and I cried from September 11th until November 15th or so. My daughter (who was in kindergarten at the time) said one day, "Mommy are you still crying because those planes hit the buildings?" and I realized how my not getting help was affecting my family. So I went to see my doctor, came home with some pills that made me feel much better in about 10 days. I can't even really describe what I was feeling (anyone suffering with depression knows what I am trying to say) but I was just profoundly sad. Not Hopeless really, but I know that's one of the feelings folks can fight. No I have a wonderful family and career and money and every thing I needed to NOT be sad, but I was.
Anyway, lucky for me, that medication worked well and consistently. I know folks who suffer and can't find the right combination for them. I am one of the lucky ones. Twice in these last 9 years I've tried to stop taking them. But the profound sadness comes back. It's really quite odd, because as you can see I am an outgoing, optimistic sort of person. Normally.
OK I've bored you (and anyone else who drops by this blog) enough. I just wanted to thank you NATALEE for following Que Life. Do you speak spanish? The name is a play on my name and that word. Not a very funny one, but it tickles me. And by now you know, if it makes me happy, I share. Kay (que)

It's so important for people to share their stories. In my community, mental illness is still pretty taboo so people tend to suffer alone. It's so sad that we miss out on the vital support that can be had by sharing with others who've battled similar situations.... Slowly, things are changing.
