She had PCOS too and that makes pregnancy really difficult. I was a month early, but happy coincidence, I was born the same day as my Great Grandpa Early. So, there was that at least. crimsonlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09586441423386494027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813226226435267302.post-79031065303547865712017-05-23T10:58:00.253-07:002017-05-23T10:58:00.253-07:00I didn't know you lost siblings!

The element of competition has been so prevalent in my life and I'm a freaking only child! Well, not technically, but my siblings didn't make it (I don't know if that is a blessing or not. I think I would have liked having an older sister and younger brother). That aside, the competition of who hurts worse is one of those that drives me crazy because when you start getting into that, it negates the validity of what other people are experiencing.<br /><br />It is hard to ignore the depression monster's voice. It does persist and every time I think I have it under control, something flares up to smack me in the face. It is truly a life long struggle. crimsonlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09586441423386494027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813226226435267302.post-18745494610133144682017-05-20T13:05:42.421-07:002017-05-20T13:05:42.421-07:00I think PTSD should depend upon symptoms experienc...I think PTSD should depend upon symptoms experienced, not the event that caused it. I have PTSD but I certainly didn't cheapen veterans by having it. My whole family life was a battle field and there were times as a child when I believed my life was at risk at the hands of those who should protect me. Just my opinion.<br /><br />It's so hard to ignore the lying voices of depression. They persist and persist. But it's not me persisting, it's the depression. It will tire you out and make you feel robbed of happiness and vitality.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414080123441313048noreply@blogger.com
