Christmas is about the light and joy that surrounds us knowing that a Saviour was born to bring the light into the world and save us from our sins. In reality, many at Christmas go through some darkness before they see the Light that was bestowed upon us.
My outlet of expression has become tags which, at times, are outlets of my emotions. As many of you may or may not know, I suffered from chronic depression for many years. Thankfully, the extent and severity has lessened enormously but the blackness remains buried deep inside to emerge at times. I will be just fine. I've started taking my "vitamin P" again....my word for Prozac. I will once again focus on the reason for the season and the Lord will once again bring me back to my chipper self.
The tags are snaggable, although I'm not sure who would want them, but the offer stands.
Right now, I'm feeling overwhelmed and almost petrified like a deer in the headlights of a car. This, too, shall pass.
Blessings to all.....I still have not lost sight of my hopes and dreams nor my faith.

It seems we all have our crosses to bear right now, you know? I'm sorry you are feeling so depressed.. :( ... but glad that you are taking your Vitamin P again. Whatever works, right? Like I said, if working on your graphics helps you to cope, that's a good thing. I can think of a lot worse things you could be doing! :)
I am praying that all goes well with Megan's results tomorrow. I'm sure once you get that diagnosis, and it's all good, that will lift some of that darkness away..
Love you
Jackie

Sad to say, but I do know about depressions, too. I suffer from depression, on and off, for many years now. It is a deep dark hole. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope you will come out of it soon.
Thanks for spreading joy with your graphics and talent. Hugs, Maria
I'm sorry you feel depressed, hope the 'vitamin P' works for you. I'm sure when you get the results back from Megan you'll feel better. The snags are beautiful, I love them as I'm sure everyone else does, thanks for making them. Our journals would be dark places without all you great PSP people!

Well Chris, I don` think what you`re feeling is at all unusual for this time of year. I`m sure that little Vitamin P (lol) will help, and ofcourse - your faith.
LOVE YA

These are very pretty, but they do remind me of some of my paintings when depression sets in- dark with a lot of swirling clouds and stormy looking. I pray you will come out of it soon- I know the feelings well, and will pray for you too! God Bless! Carolyn
well wellbutrin is my drug of choice :)
I have taken prozac, zoloft, and a few others.
Amazing how many people suffer from this disease. I hope that you get to feeling better soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you as always

Chris, hope you feel better soon, Sending Hugs Your Friend Lisa
Chris, my thoughts are with you whilst you are dealing with all that is going on. I've been touched by depression but thankfully it didn't last. Hugs, Millie :)
Hi Chris, I hope that you start to feel like your old self again soon, depression is a horrible feeling, thankfully I havent suffered to much with it, but with everything that you ahve going of in your life at the moment, you are bound to feel down,
fingers crossed for Megan today,

Hi, Chris. Depression is very hard to understand. It happens. When I look at your animations they make me smile. Keep up the good work. Start a folder of uplifting PSP's...they come in handy..:)
