Looking after ourselves
I think depression is a natural part of healing, just like when you fall over & scrap your knee; then your body does things to heal it - when you fall over & find yourself facing things like surgery or trauma, your brain, which is part of your body, does things to heal. Sometimes the scrapped knee can get infected, it needs more care. That's sort of how I see depression, like the infected wound, it's a sign that something needs more care. Often the scrapped knee doesn't get any particular treatment, a bit of a wash & a slight limp - but in time the body is still able to heal it. I see tears as a way of our thought processes washing the wounds & the lack of sparkle in a smile or less enthusiasm is it's limp. It may heal with a mark, like a scarred knee, but the hurt will lessen & the body will strengthen, so that it can move on. That's what bodies do 😉
I'm glad the cyst they found was benign, I hope your recovery is going well 
I'm glad your Husbands problems were found early
I'm sorry your Son went through so much with his Father at times, & that you Mother
doesn't want you to visit again
Keep thinking about that exercise . . . I think that's an exercise in itself 😉
I don't blame your messing feelings, I think I understand them a little. Feel what you need to feel, but know that I & many, many others are wishing you better ones
Vent away girl! I do, & it helps me! It's like getting that infection out . . . like
squeezing a pimple {YUK!}, it might hurt a little, but it just might help it heal!
You will get through this . . . it will pass
Love to you @Sophia1
